Amari was getting some reps today after Cobb went down. Maybe he'll be the savior!

Aaron Rodgers trusts that Packers brass will 'be in the mix' on certain players ahead of trade deadline
Green Bay could use some personnel upgrades after a slow start

Who are we going to trade for to right this ship.
Our Trenches are getting blown away. We got pushed around by everybody except maybe the Bears. We're not getting new offensive and defensive lineman who will turn this around.
We've got a QB who avoids throwing to rookies because they don't have the intricacies of the offense down. How are we going to trade for anybody that knows our offense?
I think the price of anybody who possibly could have value will be too steep.
Our Front Office has screwed this up by not having clear direction.
They want a running team and draft guys that couldn't block their way out of a wet paper bag. Those non-road graders can't pass block. Yes, there were injuries. But, what the hell?
They have Aaron Rodgers and can't draft or coach up receivers.
They draft guys on defense for 1 scheme and pick a defensive coordinator who runs something different. Even worse, they don't seem to know how to or want tackle - defense guys, go figure.
I don't think we should spend any draft capital or money at the trade deadline. It will only be wasted because whoever we get won't get coached up in time to be of any value this year.
So a lot of this rant is on our coaching staff. Other teams seem to coach up guys far better. We have some high draft picks that don't even contribute

This team seems to have too many issues to overcome to make a deep playoff run, IMO. There are some fans comparing it to 2010 when the Packers got off to a 3-3 start and eventually won the Super Bowl.
The difference to me is that the 2010 team beat a quality Eagles team early and their losses were a close game to a very good Bears team along with a couple of overtime losses to The Redskins and Dolphins, a couple of "meh" teams. Those overtime losses weren't good, but were at least close games that could have been won. The three losses this season have been dominated by the opponent in 2 of the 3 losses.
What does this year's team do that it can point to as something to hang their hats on. They don't have a good passing game right now and that's on the WR's, OL and QB all playing sub-par. The running game is OK but the OL holds them back. Plus the coaches and AR simply can't commit to the run. Against the Jets they were in shotgun 59 times. How does that allow you to run the ball and also use play-action the way it's intended?
On defense, they have been mediocre against the run. They have OK numbers on pass defense, BUT they have only played one team that had a really high level QB and WRs and the Vikings shredded them. Brady had no receivers when they played the Packers, and the other games were all against teams with crappy QBs or back-up QBs in the game.
Until I see the o-line play competent football, this team is going nowhere. They have a lot of bodies on o-line but no real depth. If they had quality NFL-capable depth, Royce Newman would not be starting. Sure, eventually, maybe Newman, Tom and Rhyan become quality NFL players in the mold of a Lucas Patrick who eventually developed into a decent NFL lineman. The problem seems to be that they're not there yet. Not sure if Jenkins is just rusty or if he just can't play on the right side. Mike Wahle on his podcasts is fond of saying it's not just a given that a guy who's good on one side can seamlessly transition to the other. This might also apply to Nijman. IMO, Gute missed the boat by not adding a veteran RT in the off-season given the uncertainty with BakhT and Jenkins.
Am I completely writing off the season, no way. I'll keep watching and hoping they can turn it around. I'm just saying that at this point, there is nothing positive to point to as the base to build from to be a real contender.
