Driver's drop was the on that popped up in the air and eventually Jennings caught diving to the ground. Rodgers drilled it right in Driver's numbers. It worked out for us but bothered me cause its becoming a trend.

Lee's drop was obviously the worst drop of the year thus far. Not a great ball, but catch-able. You can't drop that.

While Thompson has done a nice job bringing in talent and rejuvenating this team, he has failed at almost epic levels to build an offensive line. What makes it worse is he tore apart a good offensive line right when he got here. Not saying I disagree with letting Rivera and Wahle go, but when you let guys like that go and guys like Tauscher go, you best have a plan to replace them. I don't call sticking in 2 rookies (Colledge and Spitz at the time) and some scrub (Barbre) a very good plan.

The fact is you can trace majority of our offensive issues to our poor offensive line. No time for Rodgers, no holes for Grant, we have to keep extra blockers in to help. Its a disaster and one that falls mainly on Thompson but also on McCarthy and his staff for poor line coaching.

I'll stick with what I said, no playoffs and I want both gone. This is 4 years now.

speaking from experience. Nervous and over excited are 2 completely different things. Being nervous does not mean amped. he handles his nerves quite well it would seem.

While you were right for this game, doesn't change the fact that you're post was off base. Favre does have a large history of playing overexcited and throwing stupid interceptions.

He played about as well as one could yesterday though.

Favre was just having fun out there last night.

You'd have fun too with weapons like Rice, Harvin & Berrian.

Is there any decent available offensive linemen in FAs?
This is a huge problem for GB and I don't see A-Rod lasting with the way things are going.
Someone already mentioned it but it's so true that if Rodgers was given at least a half decent offensive line he would be one of the best QBs in the league at the moment.

how many guys are different from the ones Favre had 2 years ago ? Favre went deep into the playoffs with a line of 1st and second year starters if i'm not mistaken...?

Rice and Harvin still need to prove they wont drop key passes. They still need to understand, if you arent the primary you still better be looking with your hands up.

Berrian as well.

That year it was Clifton-Colledge-Wells-Spitz-Tauscher. All had at least a year of experience. Clifton, Wells and Tauscher all had many years of experience.

This year it is Clifton-Colledge-Spitz-Sitton-Barbre. The right side of the line had no starting experience and really outside of Barbre getting special teams time, no game experience at all previous to this year.

Last night, due to Clifton's injury, the line was Colledge-Spitz-Wells-Sitton-Barbre until Colledge went down. Then it was Lang-Spitz-Wells-Sitton-Barbre. Lang is a rookie.
