Game 2 - Packers @ Jets - Sunday, Sept. 20th @ 12:00 PM

I'm anxious to put (whatever that was Sunday) behind us and move on to game two against the Jets, but I fear the ghost of that game will haunt us until they can patch that OL. 

It looked like we had the wrong people out there and/or people out there weren't working together. ZBB certainly showed rust of not playing in forever and he suddenly things he is a running back now.... Both our LG and RG looked every much the end of the roster filler they should be.  You might not like the signing of Aaron Banks last year,  but when healthy he is an average LG and average would be a major upgrade.  Maybe it is time to revisit Belton at RG? 

Thankfully we don't face a team with Brian Flores... Wouldn't it have been so much better if Miami picked Flores over Hafley

I don't want to sully a new GT with sour grapes, but last week was so damning I just don't think this is a competitor. It wouldn't surprise if they went 9-8 and grabbed #7 again, but I would prefer a faceplant to that if it meant changing the guard completely. I'm tired of the 3 stooges allowed to celebrate being average with unlimited leashes. 

That said, I think they're better than the Jets if they can manage not to blow the double digit lead they'll most likely build. One thing I thought was odd last week was that Matt wasn't "inventive" with running the ball, which they probably actually need to try more of this year with how bad they are up front.

Game 1? Are we pretending last week didn't happen? 😁

It's as good of time as any to go back to a 16 games schedule...

I obviously don’t want to lose this game, but I’m kind of morbidly fascinated to see how big the social media fireball would be if we do.

There’s still room on the Sweet Meteor of Death bandwagon. 0-2 after losing to the Jets and that meteor starts looking visible without a telescope.

Looking forward to the Packers leading for 80% of the game only to blow it in typical fashion.

I don't know, the Jets looked really good Sunday against the Titans. They might be a halfway decent team this year. Don't know what the line is, but if I were a betting man I'd go in on the Jets. Adam Schein has the Jets winning and last May he picked the Packers to finish last in the division and missing the playoffs.

Losing this game is completely within the realm of possibilities. The Packers just aren't good this year. Show me a playoff team who is bad in the trenches on both sides of the ball. 

They are a good skill group on offense and almost nothing else - without Parsons especially, name one playmaker on the defense.  

I just didn't see what people saw in this team. The consensus seemed to be they'd win 10 or 11 games and I just don't see it. 

Worst part of all that? They don't have a first round pick.

The silver lining about that is that Gute will still be here and he would just draft some raw projectable athletic freak with an off the charts RAS score that was viewed as a consensus reach who will basically redshirt as a rookie, be a rotational player in year 2, be injured in year 3 and finally be expected to contribute in year 4.
