[QUOTE="Hobbes09, post: 249295, member: 1750"] The game was a bit of a fluke in a lot of ways. 1) It was unusually hot for GB. 79 degrees at the start of the game and a lot of guys on both sides of the ball played slower than usual, sloppier than usual or both. Driver and Woodson being perfect examples. 2) We probably should have seen the line having problems earlier than we did. Barbre just had his first start and he was up against a longtime vet. There was just no contest. Experience can screw up anyone who's green and it did Sunday. Expect him to do much better against much more suspect opponents and slowly get better throughout the season as the games slow down for him more and more. I highly doubt he plays like this in Chicago. 3) Despite the obvious line problems, they were only a small portion of the picture. Yes they caused problems for Rodgers, but the offense would have been fine except for 5 (?!) dropped passes from Driver, Jones and Nelson, adding up to what would have been around 100 yards of offense and four first downs. That's a lot of production to let slip through your fingers and a lot of potentially sustained drives cut very short. It is also very uncommon for GB receivers. Even should Barbre not improve, I'd fully expect to find better production simply out of the fact that some of our receivers played their worst game in a long, long time all at the same time. 4) I know Bears receivers aren't good, but I really doubt they will continue playing this bad. They had a freakish number of blown routes. There will always be issues with their current set, but not this many. 5) I think our defense will really be tremendous, especially in picks. They know how to create pressure in so many different ways and are completely filled with ballhawks. Yes, Cutler is a gunslinger who makes mistakes and that is a big reason for many of the turnovers. He also has a lightning fast release and is talented at escaping pressure. I'm thinking four turnovers really isn't a fluke for this defense. 6) Rodgers wasn't as accurate as usual, but he still did very, very well. His throws, excepting one or two, might not have been dead center where he wanted them, but they were, again excepting those one or two, well within reach of his targets and well out of reach of defenders. This is with near constant pressure as well. A 92.0 passer rating is pretty good on most days, but considering the dropped balls and pressure I think you really have to hand it to him. This guy is very smart and has a great presence, in and out of the pocket. [/QUOTE]
