Wait, where are all the the TT and MM bashers this week?

This blog even wrote an entire post about how MM is clearly not doing his job. Please! He had this team ready to play.

No play calling complaints? Come on! Oh wait, that game was called almost perfectly.

No personal complaints? Please! Oh wait, the backups did a good job filling the shoes of the starters and our rookie defensive class is starting to show up. (Casey Hayword, especially.)

5-0 Texans, not 4-0.

Really? 2 sacks and 3 or 4 QB hits vs. one of the best defenses in football (granted sans Cushing) is too much? I think the o-line played pretty damn well last night.

I seem to remember a season, oh about 2 years back, in which the Packers lost a number of players, including a much better Finley facsimile; I think that season ended alright.

Oh, one last thing I forgot, lose to the Rams and this doesn’t matter.

Like probably most Packer fans, I was not expecting the 2011 Packers to show up, but they did.

The Packers reminded everyone, including hopefully their own fans, that they are still one of the best teams in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers is still the best QB in football when he is on his game, and this is still a WR core that can dominate, even with Jennings on the sideline and Finley on the permanent slide.

The defense is what it is. The pass rush is definitely improved from last year. The secondary is still vulnerable and especially the LB core in pass coverage, but as long as they can stop the run and rush the passer, they can make some stops.

I never make too big a deal about injuries because it depends on how the replacement players perform. Personally, I don’t think DJ Smith was playing that well in the first place. Brandon Saine should have been cut, and Nick Perry and Sam Shields were not seriously injured.

One Thing: PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS! Offensively, we should be in the shotgun EVERY PLAY!
We can run with Green out of that formation & Rodgers & the O-Line alike both seem to be more comfortable in that formation. GPG
