I agree with the above poster that there are two main reasons for this, our OL and no RB. Improving our OL has to come first. Despite the fact that we've tried to find the silver lining, praising Newhouse for his development or Sitton for showing his 2010 form, fact is this line sucks. We need a top C to replace Saturday. We need a LT or RT who can play. Bulaga is playing way below expectations and Sherrod may or may not be able to fulfill his potential. And we need a RB. Alex Green hasn't done it. Yes, he's effectively a rookie, but once you are given your chance, you have to show some of that potential. I don't see it. Cedric Benson is a 1-year solution. James Starks is perpetually hurt. The OL is the weak point of this team right now, and is the biggest concern by far when it comes to our playoff hopes. If you're content to rely on Rodgers and the passing game putting on MVP performances every week, then good luck to you. And yes, our defense is better, but this is no elite defense.  It might be next year, but not this year.</blockquote>
