Pressure Off Is Finally Off Green Bay

At least the Packers should not have to face the pressure of high expectations now. I think that may have had a part in all the penalties and dropped passes. The only benefit to coming out and making it very clear that you are a not a good team is that the expectations are lowered. Maybe our linemen might be able to play a little bit more loose. I am trying very hard to find a silver lining here.


For all the Packer fans who were unable to fully interpret the Cincinnati game: the Packers season is going to be a long and painful one. Especially for Aaron Rodgers. It is really only a matter of time before he ends up on the IR or perhaps even the morgue after the Minnesota game. The Packers offensive line seems to be one of the worst ever assembled in the history of the NFL.


The Minnesota defensive line is so unbelievably good that I will be truly surprised to see Aaron Rodgers complete the game. I just hope that he does not end up with any serious injuries that could ruin his career. Anyway, the fact that the Packers cant block anyone should be obvious to the world by now. And anyone who knows football worth a lick, knows that you cannot go far without the big boys up front.


The direct consequence of this crappy offensive line is that not much should be expected of the team. The offensive tackles now know that the whole world knows they suck monkey balls. Now they should be able to take the role of the underdog. The opposing teams wont take them quite as seriously and we may be able to surprise a team or two.


Sometimes playing like total crap can inspire a team to start playing really really well. I would also like to clarify that I am suggesting that there really is only one unit that I believe is playing like total crap and that is the offensive line. I do not think that Rodgers is playing bad. He has not had any time. So, What will the end result be? When it all comes together, I believe this will be an extremely disappointing year. It is going to be difficult to watch because the Packers will have a couple of rebound games where they look pretty good and maybe only give up three sacks or something like that.


But this can only end badly. And on top of that Brett Favre is probably going to win a lot of games this year for Minnesota.
