Game 1: Packers @ Saints (in Jacksonville) - Sunday, September 12th, 3:25pm

[SeaBass]

Great tackle by Jenkins...

[MrTPlush]

Getting a TD would have just been a tease anyway. Not like the defense has proved the ability to do anything.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Great tackle by Jenkins...

 

That was my takeaway. Great closing speed.

[PinaMadness]

That's an interception Winston would throw. At least the Winston of old. Maybe Favre's back on the team.

[OldHeidelberg]

What a disappointment…

[wOOgiE22]

Rodgers had Jones wide open on the curl up the sideline.

[adambr2]

Maybe I was just a year early on the 9-7 regression that I had us pegged for last year.

 

I know this team will need some time, but they only have themselves to blame for that. This isn't one of the more challenging games on their schedule, either.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Maybe holding out 40 guys for the whole preseason wasn't such a great idea.

[adambr2]

Isn't the Saints secondary decimated?

[yourout]

TD here and it's time to do something productive.

[nodakfan17]

Did Buck just blame the offense for the defense's ineptness?

Yeah. He’s not wrong.

And all this time I thought it was because they just suck.

I mean, he’s still not wrong.

[adambr2]

Holy cats, we actually made them punt.

[yourout]

Is Cobb active or just invisible?

[adambr2]

Bad offense and bad defense go hand in hand is basically what he's saying. If you have a bad offense and constantly go 3 and out and the defense can't get off the field, they'll be gassed and it snowballs. Basically how the first half went today.

[HarveysWBs]

Effective blitz on second down, and nice tackle/pass breakup by rookie Stokes. Doesn’t take much to qualify for the highlight reel in this one, but those will qualify.

[HarveysWBs]

We can’t hold up vs. three right now. The offensive line is a problem.

[FVBrewerFan]

And it's a full circle. When the defense can't get off the field, it limits the possessions on offense. This was essentially the Packers for 20 years in the 70s/80s.

[nodakfan17]

Is Cobb active or just invisible?

He’s active, but also 31.

 

Not sure what Rodgers was expecting outside of maybe a reliable WR5.

[young guns]

Maybe we should have traded Rodgers geeze.

[PinaMadness]

OK, now the offense sucks too. That was a couple un-Rodgers like passes.

[adambr2]

Going to be fun to see what that massive haul everyone thought we could get for Rodgers is going to be reduced to after this season.

[MrTPlush]

I mean, even Rodgers knew we needed a TD on that drive.

[HarveysWBs]

12 looks like doodoo. He’s bleeding trade value by the throw. [sarcasm]It’s probably all part of his spiteful plan to get back at the front office.[/sarcasm]

[OldHeidelberg]

I am going to give them a mulligan and hope for better next week. It’s pretty clear not playing guys in preseason didn’t work out so great though.

[PinaMadness]

There really is no excuse for this performance. Shame on MLF not taking the preseason seriously as far as getting the offense reps to gel. I expect this kind of defense every week.
