I counted around 12 plays where within 0.5 seconds of the snap at minimum 1 packer (but usually 2+) was in the backfield on his way for the sack. This team is good and we're well on our way but this O-line is a massive problem and we won't be going all the way until disgusting performances like today's stop happening.

This line is so bad that if they went O-line, Safety, o-line, o-line, o-line with our first 5 picks in the draft next year I'd be like "makes sense to me"! Jim was right! :P
Once they were behind, man, that line cannot hold up at all.

It'll be a good learning experience for sure, that's what's nice about having a good coaching staff. It's cliche as heck obviously but you learn more from the losses than the wins. Better to have it happen now then in the playoffs against them.

They could even skip the safety with the second pick and go o-line and I'd understand.

Still haven't beaten a team with a winning record (at the time we've played them). These next 4 or 5 games will really show what type of team we have.

Well, that just means we have 5 losses coming our way. We have only played two good teams this year Packers and Denver and lost both. This team is going nowhere

You are a decent guy Jordy, but honestly you should probably log off for the night or you are likely to get someone banned.

They need to get a FA or two as well. Is anyone decent available this offseason?

I'm pseudo-surprised that some people think Teddy didn't play well. I thought he had a great game...unfortunately the Packers' front 7 dominated our pass protection and run blocking.

haha yeah, the only one that really bothered me was the roughing the passer when we tapped rodgers and he flopped over like a dead cat. Otherwise I think we earned a good amount of the other ones...

A placekicker should be on the shopping list, too. A professional kicker should not miss extra points. That's ridiculous.

I agree. Really had a chance to win this game until Peterson coughed up another one.

Probably but I don't know who will be on the market.
