They created a little room for Jones and Mason after Wentz came in. Let's see

But we got a new oline coach, didn't you read all the glowing summer reports? Everything is great! 😀

That’s what I don’t get. So did we get the wrong coach? Is it poor players? Is it poor schemes, is it poor execution, is it poor game prep/coaching? It can’t be wrong all the time can it?

Wentz is a statue who’s gonna take some sacks and that was the most committed run game we’ve seen in a long time. I thought the O-line was just fine and the DLine was outstanding.

The Dline made some adjustments but before that they weren't getting it done. When you blitz as much as we do and put a lot of people at the line and take them out of coverage..you better come away with some sacks. Lots of wide open Packer receivers. On the Oline, that contract we gave Fries is a killer. I was hoping he was just hurt last year but he's not getting it done and certainly isn't worth the contract.

yeah agreed badger. Up until the 4th quarter (maybe late 3rd) it was rough and the coverage was not good.

And in the 4th? :P

Defense kept us somewhat in it until the offense figured it out. And then the defense closed it out.

After how the game started I’m not sure I could have drawn up a more fun finish. Stuff to work on for sure but we scored 29 straight points! I’m thrilled.

Yeah, didnt see the focus on running (except on 2nd and 10) and didnt see that new attitude.

IIRC they got burned for 7 plays of 20+ yards. Murphy in particular looked brutal. Believe GB was up to 380 +offense yards when the Viking D finally woke up on the 4th and 1 (what an idiotic move LaFleur... thanks you!).
