[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 676860, member: 9033"] They held the Jags to a field goal and then forced the Jags to turn the ball over on downs...what were you hoping for? The Packers aren't the Broncos from last year. The Packers were missing their #1 corner, had depth issues on the dline and were starting a ROOKIE at ILB. Taking those factors into consideration, it's frankly AMAZING that the Packer's defense held the Jags to 1.8 yards per carry and that it took Bortles 39 attempts to pass for 320 yards...oh, and the defense held Bortles to one TD and one INT. The defense wasn't the scary part, the offense was the scary part. It took Rodgers 34 attempts to pass for 199 yards, that's terrible. The running game averaged 3.8 yards per carry (lower than that if you remove Rodgers' scrambles), that's terrific compared to the Jags but disappointing relative to the rest of the NFL. Jordy averaged a truly awful 5.3 yards per reception...that's not Tavon Austin bad but it's pretty terrible. Cobb averaged only 9.5 yards per reception as well. The offense was really disappointing in this game and it's a little concerning considering that the team will be playing an actually good defense this week against Minnesota. Now, is it possible that the heat was affecting the offense? I don't know, but Rodgers and Nelson need to knock the rust off pretty quickly, the run game needs to improve and the offense needs to find some big plays somewhere if the Packers don't want to look terrible against the Viking's defense (which is FAR better than the Jaguar's defense).
