And I thought Genos pocket presence sucked

They do not. Howell's a backup and unprepared, and people ridiculously underestimate how much Geno actually does to make our offense work, and Green Bay has been generating pressure all game...

...but why are we running everything through Sam Howell's arm, anyway? I had some positive stuff to say about Grubb the last few weeks and have from the beginning preached patience for him, but this is the first time I'm actually thinking he needs to go.

This was full blown malpractice.
He had to run things through Howell's arm because the offensive line was being pushed into the backfield play after play. You couldn't run laterally because GB just pushed our line back into the backfield. Running wasn't much of an option.

Everybody loves to blame the QB, but doesn't want to address the real problem with this offense. Funny how Howell didn't look like that in Washington. Weird huh? Could it be both QBs have horrible pocket presence, or is it the fact our OLine is complete garbage? And our offensive coordinator is certainly not dialing up plays to compensate for that, becasue it's either heavy run, or a 6 step drop back. Guess Wilson had horrible pocket presence too, but weird he looks fine in Pittsburgh. Go figure. 🤷

Geno should’ve been picked off not once but twice in the red zone and both were on him. Howell came in and looked worse although he came in at the worst possible time. I’d like to see him with some practice reps knowing he’s starting and a game plan built around him.

I’m not sure what the answer is right now. The line got destroyed.
