But you never know. Aaron, Adams, and MVS haven't practiced together in a while, I assume. So maybe a week back and a couple of practices and they'll get a little better. Obviously Vikings have better offense than us. Per game, they are 7th in yards; 9th in passing; 9th in rushing yards. Packers are 20th, 19th, and 19th. Need the offense to put some scores on the board, and complete enough passes so that the box has some holes and so Dillon can get some productive runs. underestimated aspect of the last few weeks. Adams and Lazard with COVID limitations October 27th, so no practice with Rodgers. Then those 2 get cleared while Rodgers is out. MVS has been limited for a while and not sure how much full throttle practice he has been going with Rodgers, but probably limited to the short bit prior to the AZ game, and likely not much then if the staff was not really looking to push him back for that game.

And even if they weren't, beating us has often been a Superbowl game for them. Now, so far with how well our defense has played, I do have the confidence we can limit the damage from their main playmakers in Cook, Jefferson, Theilen and Conklin. Our offense's recent trends concern me though, particularly waiting until the 4th quarter to score TDs as of late. We gotta get that fixed ASAP.

LLcheesehead12 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Also, gotta wonder if LaFleur is going to be contemplating some crazy 4th down gambles like 4th and 7 in this one when in FG range because of how bad Crosby has been as of late?

We need SOMEBODY opposite Davante to actually become a player in the passing game. Only guy capable IMO is MVS. He needs to be more than the occasional home run guy.

There's a reason he was a 5th round receiver and there's a reason he's never asked to do much more than run fast and run far.

Leader Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think ARs looking for Lazard to step it up. He's the most likely candidate....but somebody's gotta become a receiving threat other than Davante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we haven’t been not nearly close to full strength but I’m worried about the passing game. I don’t like what I’m seeing when Rodgers goes to anyone but the RBs or Davante. Rodgers hasn’t looked good throwing to MVS most of the year. If he’s not pinpoint to the rest of the pass catchers, I think we could run into some issues. Tbh , I would like to see more Cobb. He has impressed me with his limited opportunities. I am not worried about the offense. It still looks like it has elite potential and adding Bakh should do wonders for us. We will be replacing one of the leagues worst OL with perhaps the league's best once he gets his feet under him again. I agree about Cobb and am completely comfortable with Adams/Cobb/Lazard/MVS in the playoffs with a Jones/Dillon combo. I would have liked to see a TE move at the trade deadline, but that wasn't a necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Would like to see more from Deguara other than the occasional 4 yard dump off. Need a lot more from him with Tonyan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really unfair to judge the offense because the injuries, I guess I’m just nervous because I haven’t seen them really dominate much.

You can judge WR skills minus OL performance. You can see how dynamic they are - or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better line does mean more time for the QB, more longer developing higher reward plays and the option of more receivers. I don’t worry about MVS’ being dynamic, he and Aaron haven’t been connecting much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. My comment spoke to the ability to see and judge WR talent - outside OL performance. You can tell if the guy's a "player" or not.
