[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 751121, member: 10441"] these guys just talk, they don't even formulate thoughts anymore. They're handed talking points and run with it regardless of what is right in front of them. They're hired on their ability to be on air personalities and tow the party lines, not on their analytical skills. It's cool to talk about how weak the Packers are without Rodgers, because it only serves to help their mantra of how great he is when he comes back. Of course the running game wasn't great. Montgomery looked slow and then was hurt, we found Jones and he had some good games and just as he's probably settling in, he gets hurt, so we go with Williams, who has been looking every bit a good runner these past couple games against good defenses too. They're young and with a few weeks under their belts, they appear to only be getting better. Well Jones we need to see if he's back from the injury, but in 1 run, he looked a lot like he did before. This team is missing adequate QB play. He's been all over the place. Our defense, while not stellar, has been better than most will give credit for. They aren't top 10, but if they're not constantly put in bad positions by an offense that can't seem to get out of its own way at times because of the QB they're better than they'll get credit for. Our offensive line was put thru a ****ing ringer this year and has done better than ok given the circumstances and relative to the rest of the league they've been just fine. We've had a lot of injuries at RB again, and it looks like we have 2 legitimate RB's to move forward with. I really like the way both of them run. People want to say Jordy has lost it, if a guy is open and he can't get a catchable ball thrown to him, has he lost it? He needs more than 3 passes 2 yards behind the LOS thrown to him a game within arm's reach. All 3 of those guys have been open for plays and a ball doesn't even get thrown, do they suck?
