This is the most embarrassing thing I've seen it in a long time going in to play against the 0-7 Buccaneers, the Packers started out looking great with a long TD pass to James Jones, in fact 74 yards, the longest of Aaron Rodgers' career.
Then the game goes progressively down hill... an interception leads to a touchdown.. some boneheaded special teams leads to another touchdown on a blocked punt and then the Packers looked like a bunch of high schoolers running around on the field completely confused as to what's going on.
The special teams can't seem to win a single possession battle. The best is when we get a TD and then allow the opponents to return it well into their own territory.
If I were Shawn Slocum I'd be getting pretty nervous right now as it's becoming pretty evident that the special teams is downright incompetent. Everytime they even do something good it's negated by a penalty.
Speaking of coaches who should be worried about their jobs, how about Dom Capers? Yeah that defense sure looked good in preseason.. but not so much since then. The most confusing part of this is how they could possibly make a rookie quarterback look like Brett Favre out there.
No wait. Rodgers looked like Favre out there... 3 interceptions. Smooth.
You'll have to excuse me if I don't really have much hope for this team anymore.. I regained some of the hope I had lost at the end of the game last week when they actually played with heart, but I lost that today. Coming in with a chance to go 5-3, an overall okay record considering the way that they've played thus far, they come in looking sluggish and stupid.
Of course Tampa Bay thinks they won the Super Bowl... congratulations Buccaneers, you should probably dump your coach in Gatorade because you exploited a mediocre (at best) team... yup that's pretty much the same as being champions.
Because when I'm annoyed I like making lists... here's one about why I don't think there's much hope for the 2009 season:
-We can't pressure a quarterback to save ourlives
-We can't protect our quarterback to save his life.
-Oh yeah, and apparently throwing the ball away is a lost art.
-Our 5th attempt at putting together a competent starting line failed.
-When we can run the ball alright, apparently we can't pass it
-Even on a fumbled snap, an offense can manage to gain 3 yards on us
-We don't know how to get and keep momentum
-We just lost to the Buccaneers
