Can't believe the score is only 3-0 with only a minute or so left in the first half.
I was kind of expecting them to boot-stomp the Lions. |

Can't believe the score is only 3-0 with only a minute or so left in the first half. I was kind of expecting them to boot-stomp the Lions. Rodgers seems to have lost his confidence, and they're not protecting the pocket very good. Defense is also falling into old habits. |

Aaron Rodgers denounces Green Bay fan for prejudiced comment during moment of silence
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was upset after today’s game, and not just because his team lost to the Lions. Rodgers said that during the moment of silence for the victims of the terrorist attack in Paris, he heard a fan make a prejudiced comment. “I think it’s important to do things like that, we’re a connected world, you know — six degrees of separation,” Rodgers said. “I must admit, though, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was who made a comment that I thought was really inappropriate during the moment of silence. It’s that kind of prejudicial ideology that I think puts us in the position that we’re in today as a world.” It was unclear what, exactly, Rodgers heard a fan say, but on social media there were several accounts of fans in Green Bay saying things like, “Death to Muslims” and “Muslims suck.” There were also a number of fans who tried to begin a “Go Pack Go” cheer during the moment of silence. One fan could be heard loudly yelling at those fans, “Have some respect.” Whatever was said, if Rodgers heard a prejudiced comment, he should be commended for speaking out against it. And any fan who would take a moment of silence and turn it into an opportunity to spread bigotry should be ashamed. |

Jordy can't get back soon enough. There's way more to it than missing 1 receiver, but it is apparent he is a big factor when they have success. They've concentrated on defense in recent drafts, and it's starting to show. 10 of their 15 first round picks since 2000 have been defense, 3 of the last 13 have been offense. Only Rodgers & Bulaga are on the team (3rd was Sherrod). Let's face it, other than Nelson, Rodgers is supported by "mediocre" talent at the skill positions. Who was the last WR, TE, RB drafted in the 1st round by Green Bay? WR - Javon Walker, 2002. TE - Bubba Franks, 2000. RB - Darrell Thompson, 1990. 1990? 
They get their #1 TE back in 2 weeks, Andrew Quarless. Whoopee, that will change things.  Opposing defenses are trembling with fear at the thought.  Meanwhile, Denver Broncos trade for Vernon Davis.
