Yes, all aspects of the Packers performance...including the return of "Bonehead Brett"...stunk. When your punter has the best performance of the night, you know it sucks.
New England shows why they are the champs. They have a veteran team with some outstanding players. They also are familiar with Bates' defense from Miami.
The special teams thing isn't good...but I think you will see marked improvement after the roster is paired down and the same players practice. All the changing around contributes to the problem. I'm concerned, but not overly concerned there.
The defense actually had some bright spots. They were playing without their starting tackles and showed a little bit of grit, though Kampman was waaaaay overmatched. New England made their blocks and held them. The second unit is just plain awful. The depth is a mile wide and an inch deep. The secondary didn't stand out as bad. They are hurt because the line is simply not capable of a pass rush.
The offensive line was putrid. Woolfolk owned Mike Flanagan. He flat out owned him. Klemm did a wonderful impression of a store doll standing around wondering what to do...Whittaker is still too slow. Even Clifton was unsure what to do...This unit is the most disturbing of the bunch. It's time to set on the starters and drill and drill and drill. Even the U-71 was stopped. Barry looked tentative. They did better against New England's second defense, but what does that tell you?
Maybe Green will get his fumbleitis out of his system. Not a good thing to do in a "contract year", Ahman.
Good thing Bubba came back. The backup tight ends really are bad. Mediocre blockers and not much as receivers.
Brett had another one of his dysfunctional nights. Rodgers, on the other hand, looks like he could be something, once he figures out where the receivers are supposed to be. I think he's a year away. If Brett comes back next year, there could be competition.
Why could this be a positive? Because all the talk, crapping around, this and that came into sharp focus Friday night: they played the champs and now have a very sharp measure on how far they have to go.
I think Sherman needs to get the team's collective head out it's ****( and his own) and focus them to get the job done. Sherman's Packers always start slow, but the New England game could be the kick in the pants to get the coaches, players and the rest of the team focusing in on how far they have to go to compete with the top echelon teams.
