Well I hope Kubiak and Wade store this game tape because it's probably a blueprint of what we'll see in few weeks from New England.

Everyone knows that Rogers is a great QB, if not the very best one of the 2 best in the game right now along with Manning (the one with the Giants). And even with injuries they a very potent offense when Rogers is as "on" as he was last night.
What really troubles me was our offense. It looked extremely slow against what is thought to be an average Packer defense. Andre looked slow, only a shadow of his former self. Arian looked slow as a turtle, and the OLine led by Duane Brown who seemed to be overwhelmed and outclassed by Matthews, looked very slow, downright lethargic.

Perhaps it was the short work week or hearing too much praise about themselves but this team probably needed to get stomped to make them hungry again. The Packers were making amazing plays and we were just a step slow all night and dumb as rocks.

Seeing that shot of Smith and McNair in the owners box and they weren't happy. The message to all is that if you're thinking about making the Super Bowl, you've got to bring your A game.

We need to shore up the right side of the offensive line, fix the ILB problem left by Cushing's injury and perhaps add some different schemes if they can key on Quin all night.

As I've said, better that this happen against Green Bay than against Baltimore. If we win that game, we go into the bye week with the conference lead and face, what I think, is a mild second-half schedule.

Rogers and Packes are good.

Penalties and turnovers are fixable and contributed a lot to loss or atleast size of loss yesterday.

Texans will be ok.

That was fugly....

Tailgate was fun though, at least it was yesterday, today, not so much.....

Not much else to comment on this one. We were taken to the woodshed. It happens. We'll be OK. Need to get JJo to the bye so he can rest that groin. Its a problem. I wouldn't mind seeing Mercillous get some snaps in leui of Barwin. Barwin did finally get in the backfield, but couldn't hang on. I'd like to see what the rook can do.

Back on track next week vs. the ratbirds.
