We will next year, we overachieved last year and are shooting for the 32nd best line this year, last year we were 31st.

Caoch Pete doesn't have the stones to change things with the offense. All that SB credit has to be used up now on Bevell and Cable.

This is one of those scapegoat things that's like a disease. Again, RW's jersey was a lot cleaner than Rodgers. There's more things wrong with this offense than the OL.

They need to look at other team p squads or to the cfl...because there has to be something better than the scrubs they got. Think this is the year rw goes down for the season...its inevitable

It probably should have raised a red flag that Joeckel's fifth-year option wasn't picked up by the terrible team that wasted the #2 overall pick on him.
We give him $8 million.

The interior OL - Joeckel and Glow - were pathetic. Basically let Mike Daniels look like Aaron Donald out there. Nice job Cable in getting these guys ready for the season.

I had some optimism going into the season based on coaching comments (perhaps I should stop listening to Pete and Tom's optimism, this isn't the first time it's been misplaced), but more importantly, a decent job in the pre-season. Today made it look like this line could actually be worse than last year (and this wasn't even against the league's best defensive front or anything).
Pete and John have done a great job building this team, but they don't seem to have any ideas to fix the line (granted, that's easier said than done, but we don't even seem to be making progress). The year we won the SuperBowl we actually had a decent (albeit overpaid and injury prone) line, I don't think that was a coincidence.

Reminds me of the multiple years in a row where every WR wouldn't stop dropping catches.

What do you see as wrong with the offense outside of the OL? Is the OL the root cause, or just secondary?

Well, Wilson is better than Rodgers at running for his life. There were other problems in the offense, notably Graham played badly and Russel had some bad throws, but both our running backs and wilson had no room / time.Hawkfish":sfztuo71 said:

I was optimistic, but even I have to agree that the fact that they looked so horribly overmatched and putrid against a mid-tier DL worries me. I can't even begin to imagine these guys going against the Rams DL.
There were a lot of other issues on offense today, but the O-line certainly looked to be the primary concern again.

How can they have gotten worse? It's nothing short of astonishing. It takes a special skills to be at this level of consistent sucking.

This is a good point. There was a moment in the game where we had the ball near mid field and had 3 pass plays in a row, with good pass protection and we still went 3 and out. Only one sample to go off of but it was still somewhat telling.

The offense is designed with only runs, bubble screens, and long-developing deep passes. With this o-line, these plays are never going to work. We don't have an o-line coach that can coach an o-line, and we don't have an OC that can design plays that work with the o-line we have. Hell, his plays barely work in the first place! It's growing a little tiresome, and I wish Paul Allen would get on the phone to Pete and tell him to make some damn coaching changes.

Playcalling for one. RW also wasn't good today even when he did have time. I expect big things from him this season, but week 1 is never our best. We always look a little lost. Personnel wise we wasted time with Lacy being in the game. Keep him on the roster, but I don't have much use for him this season unless injury strikes. If he can't get up and run hard against his former team, then he's got little pulse. Jimmy played like crap.CodeWarrior":2spw49mk said:
I mean look around...Baldwin and Richardson had pretty good games. Carson played pretty well and CJ had a couple good plays. That's it.
When we had the ball in the RZ before the half, we called the exact same play two plays in a row. Then FG.
Our offense lacks balance, play diversity, etc.
Again, RW was cleaner than Rodgers. You have to have some perspective here.

Stop deflecting from the ineptitude of the offensive line. They are THE reason this offense is so poor as teams simply don't have to pay the run any respect. We just don't have the horses for it upfront. Without a legitimate threat of the rush and associated play action, Pete's offense isn't worth a hill of beans.
Just my opinion, of course.

That is incorrect Rw was not cleaner that Rodgers, that said it right on the broadcast that Rw was under siege all night, They just said on IT ESPN that both had it rough but Rw had it rougher so sorry that is wrong, All that said Rw played about, as well as y9ou, can expect him to under those circumstances, and once again my question is why did we only go uptempo twice, we should have been uptempo all game.
