Obviously having a legitimate NFL quarterback made many plays more successful, and even those that were not made the Packers react (thinking of the incomplete to Baldwin on the three).

Yesterday, when they had succes the stuck with it. For instance, they kept running the screen until GB made an adjustment. Previously, when something had been successful Jones immedately went back in for another dose of Herm-ball. GB never did have an answer for the outside running game.

Now just to find a solution to the goal line offense (cough..Bowe in the corner...cough).

10 different players caught the ball.

Red zone play selection was awful.

No, I meant "mind bottling". It's from a Will Ferrel movie you obviously haven't seen.

I noticed that we passed on first down more.

I thought McClain and Breaston both could have had TDs with better execution. The play calls were okay on those two plays.

Otherwise, not much you can do when timing is off with your new QB and WR, and the OL is getting bent over.

we didn't start ever drive with a drawplay, for one.

QB has nothing to do with that shit

McClain got the carries up the middle instead of DMC

QB has nothing to do with that

timing of the screen plays called has nothing to do with the QB

Pope being open by 15 yards ... twice!! was because of the unpredictability of the offense not the QB.

McClain just flat dropped his. The pass to Breasting was a shade behind him.

Muir needs to hang it up, though.

RAC himself said they didn't do anything much different.

They've run screens for the better part of 2.5 years, Cassel just can't execute them.
