Did any tolerance levels go up a few notches after tonight's win against the Texans?
Everything is not black and white.Well, if you want to credit the coaches for getting the players to play, who do you blame when the players don't play? The offensive line has been below average--actually ranked at the bottom of the league--for the first 1/4 of the season. They played very well last night, and I don't think it unreasonable to expect them to play like that week in, week out. Maybe they played over their heads, and they really are no good; or maybe the coaching is the weak link. Probably , it's some of both. But last night they played like Champions.
I think his strategy has run its course and maybe a new outlook is needed, preferably a similar scheme.sorry, but capers is still on my **** list.
I would advocate a contract extension for lovie. What is he 1-7 against the packers in the last 8 games?Re: Um. Excuse me. Do any coaches or staff still need to be fired?
Well, if Lovie Smith gets fired, it's OK with me.
^ This.I'm not an advocate of making any coaching changes at this time, but fans need to be more even keeled and not go overboard one way or another based on one or a few games.
^ This.

Don't make me send Amish Mafia after you.
He is more accurate than Brett Favre on his best day with his buggy ride-by pitch fork and torch throwing.
I was at the game. Had a blast and I am pleased with the Packers, of course.
BUT...
I tell you-- watch the game tape if you have it. I often was holding my breath as Texan receivers and TEs were often unmarked and wide open for easy gains. A few times Schaub was able to target and throw to them-- but, often, the Packers got away with it. Against an elite QB, those mistakes get punished.
I also noticed that the Packers often took big chances. Going psycho on 2nd and 5, just daring Foster to break a big one. Lining up Woodson on their TEs one on one? Not giving the CB any over-top support on Andre Johnson? Hawk (who had a great game) simply cannot keep up with anyone running a pass route-- he is just too slow.
I don't know-- I am just a stupid fan. But, I think a better QB would have taken advantage of this at times.
Then again, Dom knew that Schaub ISN'T Brady... so, he knew that taking chances like the above is probably the way to go.
I was agreeing with him too in a humorous way.I didn't see where Amish took a particular side. He said let's not get too juiced up either way and I agree with that.
Speaking of Schaub, I was mystified by his throwing the ball into the ground on that 3rd. and 20 play in the second half...
Speaking of Schaub, I was mystified by his throwing the ball into the ground on that 3rd. and 20 play in the second half. Sure, it looked like the play was breaking down, but he threw in the towel (with notable disgust) before any pass rusher got within 5 yards of him.
Re: Um. Excuse me. Do any coaches or staff still need to be fired?
Well, if Lovie Smith gets fired, it's OK with me.
Agreed. The crowd was like "wtf?" and gave Schaub a good booing after that play.
I'd have to watch the tape, but I think it was supposed to be a screen and the Packers simply blew it up. Crazy, though, that Schaub didn't at least try something.
