Another year and another bye-week blues thread for your Sunday off.
So GB through 5 games? My thoughts right now today are the following bullets, random. Feel free to share yours.
Let's start with defense. It's still a group that tends to underperform at inopportune moments. The scheme is the same dingleberry mess we have seen for a while. I stick to my statement from earlier in the week, he's hindered by poor personnel in the backside of his defense, some through injury others because we need the ST player.
Not making excuses for the dingleberry D, but something to factor in. They have to stay consistent and get turnovers for this team to have any chance at winning ballgames
Offensively, it's a mess. That OL isn't keeping pressure off of Love and they have a hard time blocking anything in the outside zone game. Bad feet and weak hands will not get it done on the line. Without Jones at RB the Packers really have no one, that's inexcusable and it falls on Gute and personal.
Our WR are young, tend to run sloppy routes, and have dropped balls when we needed the big catch, again fall on personnel to add better talent. Musgrave has shown flashes but both he and Kraft are playing like rookies and the NFL speed is giving them fits.
Love, I can't even start to grade him because the above factors don't really allow it. All the raw talent is there. I agree with the two former QB who chimed in and said the game is too fast etc right now. Sitting behind a HOF QB is fine and dandy but being the starter week in and out and getting reps is how they fix his issues. My own opinion is they need to go get a better QB coach off-season that better fits his temperament.
ST, The kicker so far is the bright spot. Stupid penalties and dumb decisions are still the norm. The high-paid Italian guru made very little difference, leaving only personal and that same bunch of dopes as the culprits here. That is a redundant theme it seems.
Coaching, again I can't even start to grade this. Lost the starting LT and LG, Lost the starting CB for 3 weeks, Starting RB has played little to none. The list grows from there. Fully healthy this team could be 4-1. I think it's very hard to game plan vs a Vegas when you had Jones in all week only to pull him the day before, and it seems that has been the case all year to some extent.
Dingleberry, is who he is. I see his time ending after the year unless something crazy happens.
Honestly, we take this team week by week. One week they may play lights out the next, well you saw it in Vegas. I wouldn't get very worked up about things, this is 100% a rebuild and swallow-the-cap year. See who fits and who doesn't and add pieces off-season.
okay, that's just my random babble. Hit me with yours!
