    Fun game to watch.

    As a Packers fan, it is very damning to me that we have an offense with a first year starting QB and a bunch of late round draft picks and UDFAs, and they still outperform our defense full of first round picks.

    24 isn’t an automatic win, but the way the Packers have been constructed, they are tooled to have a defense that expects very little from the offense. Especially an offense missing multiple key members. 24 points should be plenty for this offense, and it really should have been plenty to win in this specific game.

    The two missed picks were brutal but just human error. They were in the right place. More concerning are the complete inability to tackle, the lack of edge contain, the constant playing 10 yards off receivers in short yardage situations. These are coaching and scheme issues and a team that knows it is in a find out year on offense needs better from its talent-loaded defense.

    Yes the offense sputtered in the 4th. Yes the final drive was garbage. But like, that’s almost expected. It would be great for the offense to play a full game, but 3/4 is more than what I’d have thought we’d get. Meanwhile the defense played a full bad game.

    Lots to work on, but I’m worried (as I was last year) that Joe Barry just ain’t it.

      It’s time for the Joe Barry experiment to end. It’s been a failure.

        I agree. Unfortunately I agreed last year already. Wish MLF had seen it then also. He was pretty critical in the post game presser.
