My three -
1. The packers need Watson
2. The comparison -
Jerel worthy- Height 6′ 2″, Weight 304 lbs
Wyatt- Height 6′ 3″, Weight 304 lbs
When Packers defensive end Jerel Worthy was shut down because of a knee injury at the end of the regular season, the diagnosis was that he had a bone bruise. It turned out to be a more serious injury. Worthy tore his ACL and had reconstructive surgery.
3. Center- Jenkins

I agree with your three observations. The question is, number 2 and 3 could have been the same questions three years ago. Then MLF stands in front of camera and declares we got to clean this up and lots of lessons to learn from, just like three years ago. So how long does it take for these lessons to be learned?

Coaches are teachers and many of the students are on year three, so what’s the disconnect between teachers and students that there are the same issues? What is the end game for the teachers if the students complete year three making the same mistakes and don’t get better?

Teaching is absolutely a huge component of coaching. But...the student has to be willing and ABLE to learn. Having done a lot of coaching in various capacities over the years, sometimes, you have to get really creative to get some lessons to stick with some athletes. I've had to explain very simple things (or at least, what I consider very simple things) a dozen different ways to get them to stick sometimes. And there have been times where I reached the end of my rope and simply given up. The sad fact is, some athletes simply either don't care enough to learn or don't have the mental capacity to do so. The light just never comes on, no matter how many different ways you present the information. You wouldn't think the will to learn would be an issue with pro athletes, but I've met enough of them to realize it's a lot more common than it should be.

In Green Bay, it's probably a combination of the two, but it ultimately falls to the coaches. I've met a lot of very bright coaches who know their stuff, but they only know one way to present the information. In those cases, athletes who have a different learning style will never get the message. The coach ultimately has the responsibility to figure out how to get the message across. The coach also has the responsibility to objectively assess when a player simply doesn't care or simply doesn't have the brains.

They put so much energy and effort into the first two games it hasn’t been the same energy since from players or coaches.

9 roads games this year . We just played the two easy ones and lost.

13 games left. 6 at home 7 on the road..

Need to be road warriors.

It starts with the running games.

On defense not enough turnovers.

Missing good slot play also,..,

Browns game should have won by 12 plus
Cowboys game should have won by 14 plus

Watson and his speed. How fast will he be now, post knee injury? No leg injury that I know of makes an athlete better. It would be lovely if he came back and played for years without injury, but that is not his history.

And M. Lloyd, same thing. He is about to come off IR, but for how long. Some players are just snake bit.

And that Left Guard, Banks. Same thing. You are dreaming if you think this will be his only time out due to injury. Look at his history. But he can be replaced, as he was never that good in San Fran even though he played next to an All World Left tackle.

Don't dream of players who have never been reliably available. Work with what you have. The Packers will be great when the offensive line congeals. Love and the WR have already been pretty darned good even with a leaky line.

As a fan, I have adjusted my expectations considerably since the Detroit game. Detroit was suffering from a to-be-expected huge change in coaching personnel and they have adjusted remarkably quickly. I admire that trait because GB lacks it.

Green Bay:
There is no reason to think Special Teams will improve. Rich Bisaccia experiences NO consequences.
The O-Line lacks depth and cohesion and this will rear its head throughout the year.
MLF continues to repeat same mistakes with clock management, in-game response and team prep.
MLF refuses to hold himself and too many of his coaches accountable.
Play complementary football, please.

My 3 observations:

1. excellent skill players on offense but injuries and poor execution by the OL, including penalties, are hurting the offense and keeping points off the board. Coaching needs to hold players accountable for bad penalties and poor execution. Play the best 5 and put them at the position where they are most effective, e.g., Jenkins at LG.

2. Overall solid defense but when the pass rush is contained as it was against Dallas the secondary isn't good enough to maintain coverage especially against a good NFL QB. Need to adjust to Parsons being double and triple teamed.

3. Except for Mc Manus the Packers STs remain a nightmare which the Packers cannot wakeup from. Both ST coaches and players need to be held accountable for their performance or lack thereof.

Going forward from the bye the Packers need to return to the intensity and sense of urgency which they brought into their first 2 games. They cannot afford. to be two different teams at home and on the road. The defense played excellently in Cleveland but the offense was flat. In Dallas the offense played well but the defense was exposed. In both game kicks were blocked due to poor execution which should have been resolved during TC and preseason games. This cannot continue as the season goes on. We'll see how the Packers come out after the bye week. Thanks, Since '61

Three bye week observations

1) Cleveland has one win so far this season.
2) Detroit won a game they should have won against Cleveland.
3) Minnesota just won a close game against Cleveland with their journeyman backup QB.
