YUT !!!
Cobb returned at least 1 punt yesterday. I think it was a fair catch or out of bounds but he was the one back there during one of them.
Not according to packers.com lol

Apparently notWill Ross survive?
Do they have the stones to let Lovat go finally after the 8th hamstring injury of the season?
Will they lose this week 17 with home field advantage, soft, lets be safe and precautious attitude?
Will Burnett finally be allowed to participate in a game going forward?
What will the new secondary look like with Burnett and hopefully Casey back? Will Tramon be seeing more time on the bench?
Now that Franklin has shown the "lightening" will it alter the running game plan?
Will they address the awful blocking and decision making of EDS? More times that no he is standing around or giving help to a guy who doesn't need help. Figure out the line calls already!!!
Will Aaron relax a little bit and remember that this is supposed to be somewhat fun?
Will MM admit some of his missteps or will he continue onward with his blind faith/arrogance/stubborness/
You are mistaken. Williams only shifted to the slot in Nickel a la Woodson. House did not "start." Granted we "started" in Nickel.Tramon wasn't starting yesterday. House and Shields were the corners with Tramon in the slot. With Heyward back I think its a legitimate question. He has fallen out of favor due to his poor coverage skills.
I said I expected improvement. I didn't say I expected a lot of it.I expect us to get healthy again, to work on our coverage, and to work the middle of the field more. I expect team chemistry on offense to improve, and communication on defense to improve. I expect slow development, and our backs to get a bit more familiar with our blocking. I expect rust in the Lions game.
In all fairness, it might have worked if it were someone like Bostick instead of Quarless.I also don't want MM replaced. I just want him to stop being so stubborn. I think he crosses the line of confidence into being stubborn with some of his calls. He doesn't seem to scrap the stuff that doesn't work like the Quarless bootleg 3 yard pass. Putting ross in on that play that pissed off Rodgers was kind of stupid too.

All I really want is Cobb to play special teams again.
If he wasn’t a kick returner, would the Packers have drafted him where they did? He’s playing through an arm injury he sustained in training camp, so that might have something to do with not having him return kicks right now. When he’s healthy, I’m in the camp that favors him being used in the return game. In my opinion, that’s a big part of his allure as a player. It’s what he does.
McCarthy said. “Let’s be honest, to worry about the race Week 3, I think that’s wasted focus. We’re really focusing on the things we need to do better to win games. I am sticking with McCarthy.
The sky isn't falling in, but the loss to the Bengals puts a lot of pressure on the Packers to win the next couple of games. Beating the Lions at home is a must and after that comes the Ravens. If the Packers go 1 and 1, the playoffs are in doubt.
Reading McGinn's analysis surprised me a bit. He gave pretty good marks to the OL, but that's because he was focusing mainly on the run game. The run blocking is better, but the pass blocking took a serious step backwards, especially our tackles.
I don't know what happened to Rodgers on Sunday, but going deep too many times rather than going short over the middle is a tendency of his in the past, and he did it again on Sunday.
I don't foresee any serious changes coming, although I do wonder who's going to field kicks now that Ross is gone.
As much as I admire MM as a coach overall, his insistence on calling he plays is one of the reasons why I feel that this offense has been held back. I really, really wish the Packers would invest in a top OC who would take over that job, because McCarthy has proven to be less than brilliant at it, and that's an understatement. I cannot remember the last time when I said, "wow, what a brilliant call that was!"
Other disappointments to me from Sunday were Perry, Neal and Datone Jones. These guys were supposed to give us some serious pass rush opposite Clay. Other than that nice blocked extra-point, what has Datone done? Perry and Neal were pretty invisible from what I could tell. If just one of them would step up.
To be fair, Jones was in the game for only ten plays and he got a sack and Neal is still learning a new position. Perry has been the biggest disappointment to me on this defense. He's had 82 pass rushes over three games and he's collected a grand total of 4 hurries and no sacks or hits.

Packers are not very good? I'm not sure you watched the 9ers game. Kaep was brilliant. He was extremely sharp in his decisions. EVERY pass was near perfect. A perfect pass coupled with a good route is nearly impossible to defend. The other team is comprised of amazing athletes who want to win also.So what is this ^^. Is this a positive spin?
The Packers made the 49ers look like a super bowl contender... Since that point the 49ers have been outscored 56-10.... There only win is against a team that is now 0-3 while playing them at home, with maybe the worst defensive backfield in the NFL.
The Packers just are not very good right now. There are a lot of negatives to be seen. Living blindly to that doesn't make you a "better" fan. Just one content with mediocrity.

Positives
- Suddenly we have a running game. A drought of 44 games of no 100 yard rushers, now we have 2 back to back
- Franklin looked very impressive; elusive and quick
- Bach: For a guy with 3 NFL starts under his belt coming from a horrible college team, he is playing amazing. He is a big improvement over Clifton in the run game already.
- Jolly is providing a tremendous boost
- Our defensive line is looking the best it has been in many years
- We have a pile of young and talented CBs
- Our defensive backfield captain has been out and is set to return soon
- Cosby ain't missed yet
- Jordy Nelson appears to have turned it up yet another notch
- Finley is off to a great start
- Matthews has several potential compliments at the other OLB that are learning the position and improving each week - already an improvement over last season with potential to be impactful
- Hawk and Jones are both playing better
- A HOF QB at the zenith of his career
- An OLB that is amazing
Negatives
- We are 1-2
- Our OL depth sucks
- We have nobody right now to return kicks
You tell me. Is this a terrible team that will go 5-11? Or is 3 games a very small sample size to determine the quality of a football team?
There are far more positives to look at than negatives. Is there, or is there not, a lot of talent on this team and the potential to dominate? This team right now, IMHO, is the most talented team the Packers have fielded in the TT era. Better than the one that won the Superbowl in 2010. A team, by the way, that started out 3-3.

David Bakhtiari simply had no answer for the Bengal defensive end’s repertoire of moves. Overall Johnson had two sacks, two hits, and a hurry to go along with a batted pass on fourth down inside of two minutes
