While I was watching the game today I paid very close attention to two very important things--pass protection by both the offensive line and Tight ends/running backs and how many times our defensive blitzes got home to the opposing QB.  To no ones surprise, the Packers were anemic in both areas.  Special teams is, well, not very special...I don't think that Slocum will make it through this week--I think he will be canned by mid-week.

Pass Protection: Donald Lee and Ryan Grant were horrendous today when asked to help out and pass protect.  Our offensive line is atrocious by themselves, but you would think that when we give them two extra blockers they would at least hold the down the fort for 3 seconds of protection...um, no--not really.  Rodgers again was guilty of holding the ball too long on a few occasions, but I would say that 4 of the 6 sacks were on the O-line.

Defensive Blitz Packages:  I don't recall a single blitz that got home today by the Packers--not one.  When you send the house you need to at least touch the QB.  We wonder why we keep giving up big pass plays---how can we expect our corners to cover receivers for 7-plus seconds?  Even Charles Woodson would give up big plays when an opposing QB has that much time to throw!  TB was getting pressure all day rushing only 4--we couldn't sniff that Rookie QB with even 5 and 6 guys chasing after him!

The McCarthy and Thompson watch has officially started.  I'm not one for calling for people's heads as continuity in coaching/GM personnel in the NFL is underrated (as long as leadership is competent that is), but this kind of loss gets people fired--plain and simple.  It looks like a over-estimation of talent has combined with them believing their own hype of the preseason.

Oh, by the way...Ahman Green broke more tackles on one run today (3) than Ryan Grant has broken all season.  He also become the Packers' all-time leading rusher.  This was really the lone bright spot of the day :)
