Tough tough game. I was hoping we would start the season 1-1 considering the schedule and I thought we had a shot last night but fuck.

1) I don't know if it's Bevell's play calling or Russell's execution but between the 2 of them they are going to need to figure out how to use Jimmy Graham before he turns into a giant flaming Percy Harvin

2) Sherman had a surprisingly pedestrian game. He usually seems to play up for the GB games

3) The defense as a whole looked fairly solid considering the circumstances but I was hoping Kris Richard would mix up his pressure packages a little more. I'll wait for the stats but it sure seemed like we came with a 4 man rush the majority of the time. Bennett looked good as always. Avril looked very solid. Membane seemed to have an off game. I am looking forward to seeing more Frank Clark..... overall we kept AR under good pressure.

4) The biggest difference between this team and last years team is the O-line and I think it's time we stopped pointing the finger at Kam, Russell, Bevell, etc, etc and started pointing it at Tom Cable. What kind of koolaid does he have everyone drinking that they thought this o-line was a serviceable line to start the season?? Our/his ability to draft o-lineman has been below average and there seems to be some consensus that we can just pick up any guy off the street and Old Tom Cable will be able to whip them into mauling animals in no time. Well that is not happening. Sure our o-line was shitty last year but at least those guys could run block well. This year we are 2nd to last in our pass block and 3rd last in run block. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after game 1 as St Louis has the best d-line in the league and Aaron Donald is currently playing out of his mind. But if Tom Cable can't figure something out soon it is going to be a very long season.

Despite all that we were a few offensive mishaps (fumble, interception) away from very likely winning that game in Green Bay which is still very impressive and gives me high hopes for the remainder of the season.
Blame the front office giving away their besr ol for someone who dont wanna be there

They gave away Okung? Holy shit!

The only way he "dont wanna be there" is if we continue to not feed him the rock. Tell me again why someone would NOT want to go to a team that has a very good chance of going back to another SB? Because NO wasnt doin shit...but we will let you tell it.

I think its both, honestly. We all know how shitty Bevell is. And for all the good Russ does, he is FAR from perfect. He misses receivers all the damn time, its irritating.

2) Sherman had a surprisingly pedestrian game. He usually seems to play up for the GB games
The whole secondary just looks lost this year. They miss Bam Bam, and its clear as day. There is no intensity back there.

3) The defense as a whole looked fairly solid considering the circumstances but I was hoping Kris Richard would mix up his pressure packages a little more.

They didn't blitz ONCE. Yes, you are reading that right...not ONE BLITZ. Even Collinsworth was a bit shocked at how conservative it was.

Agreed. Sorry, but the Sweezy experiment is over and Britt is a joke..dude is a revolving door out there. Nowak got rag dolled a few times and Okung is basically left on an island all night. I like Gilliam though...

We got in our own way last night.
