I thought they had 12 on when they showed the replay.

Yeah, this is not what you need to see after the Achilles heel last year against Philly being losing trenches on offense by a lot.

At this point, you have to hope it’s injuries and the o-line will improve dramatically with health. Can’t waste the potential of a year like this with an offensive line that can’t do the job. Green Bay football is competent line play, period. This doesn’t work without it.

[adambr2]

Nice challenge.

I'm probably in the minority here but I've thought our offensive line has been overrated for a few years now.

Well they looked pretty good the first two weeks. But not today.

[adambr2]

Need to do better managing the play clock.

[HarryDoyle]

At least Love won't have enough time to throw an incomplete deep pass.

[adambr2]

Anyone on the offense that actually knows the snap count?

[adambr2]

Morgan makes me fine with not having our next two first rounders. He has been atrocious.

[HarryDoyle]

Sheesh, the o line is getting absolutely abused. Might want to think about max protection in the second half.

[adambr2]

One of the worst halves by the Packer offensive line than I’ve seen in a long, long time.

I mean, I don’t claim to know much about ball, but Belichick said at the time we drafted him that he liked Morgan a lot. And now Belichick is out of the league, so…

[wOOgiE22]

What an absolute abysmal performance by the oline so far.

Yeah… he was big on N’Keal Harry, too.

I don't want to be "I called it" guy and I was far from the only person who said it, but I thought the Packers would be brought back to reality when someone abused them in the trenches because it is definitely the weak link. It's not a terrible thing; I never thought we'd have 17 weeks of bliss, but we are going to have to get better up front as the season goes along.

[HarryDoyle]

The defense is going to have to win this game. The offense has no answers.

[HarveysWBs]

I think a comprehensive approach to halftime adjustments is warranted: scheme up some quick hitters, maybe try a different configuration on o-line, and some good old-fashioned butt chewing.

[HarryDoyle]

What an ugly game this has been. I wouldn't be surprised if this game ends 3-0.

[adambr2]

Dumb to intercept that. Just knock it down. 

[young guns]

Not a smart pick, though I'm doubtful we would have done anything with the great field position.

Selfish or stupid.

[duewizard]

Defence is doing its job. A little help with bad discipline by the Browns but they are holding strong.

Offense needs to get it together. Love hasn't looked great and the O-line has been awful. If Morgan keeps it up I'd much rather have Kinnard in there. 

[HarryDoyle]

it's just instinct to intercept the ball, kind of like a pitcher trying to field a grounder when you're better served letting the infielder handle it. Like what was said, it's highly unlikely we score anyway.

[young guns]

I mean it probably only prevented a hail Mary attempt based on how much time was left, but smart football is understanding the situation.  Maybe he was thinking he was in a position to return it, but if so he didn't do a good job of making sure he stayed in bounds.  And it did seem like an after thought being slow to get up.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Maybe it's just me but Williams doesn't really pop out athletically. He doesn't seem to stand out as really quick in the way someone like Watson does.
