My takeaway:

Give me 8 more. The only thing good that can come from Rodgers absence is the end of the current regime.

Well, it was really bad, but I still saw a few positives.

First, Randall has really improved in my opinion the last few weeks. Not pro bowl caliber or anything, but he's no longer the liability he was the first few games.

Second, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of disagreement, but I thought Hundley was pretty decent. Yes, he made mistakes (throwing it to the middle of the field with 10 seconds left and missing some open receivers). But, he also made some very accurate throws (Adams would have caught that if he used two hands instead of one), and looked much more poised than last week to me.

Third, Martinez is playing at a Pro bowl level consistently. He's a keeper.

Now, the negatives. To my eyes, this loss started at the top. McCarthy refuses to let Brett open it up. Waayyyyy to many passes behind the LOS. I've seen enough to believe Hundley can and will complete downfield throws. Yes, he will throw INT's as well, but you just have to deal with it and move on. Also, while I'm taking about offense, where did Aaron Jones go? I know they stacked the box, but you absolute have to keep giving it to Jones. With enough carries, he will make something happen. Don't even get me started on the 4th and 2 playcall.

Now, defense, it's your turn. Again, this starts with the coach. Capers needs to go, now. I've never been a fire Dom guy, but he's run out of time (probably did a few years ago, but the Packer brass never make bold moves like that quickly). The scheme doesn't work. I actually think the secondary isn't terrible. Not good, but about middle of the road talent-wise. They're crippled by two things. Scheme, and no pass rush. There is exactly zero help from the front 7 for the guys in the back. The LOB wouldn't hold up well with this front seven. Clark is great, Daniels is as well, but it's not their primary job to get to the QB. That's what our extremely expensive OLB's are supposed to do. Also, Ha-Ha has fallen off a cliff. Maybe under a different scheme he'd react more and think less, but currently he's a liability.

In conclusion to my rant, I just want to see a shakeup at the top. We actually had a terrible first half of the season last year as well, but 12 helped hide it better. There's still hope this year I believe, but not without big changes in scheme (especially on D). If we drop this next one to da bears, I might throw in the towel. It's do or die mode now.

One year of good draft picks, will help this team. It appears that is the only thing that will help.

Consistency is great, except when it's bad - as in this team consistently gets zero pass rush.

Pretty sure if the D got an opponent into 3rd & 98, they'd convert it.

The middle of the field is ALWAYS open for opponent's receivers.

Is there any room left on the Fire Capers bandwagon?

Bold Prediction - Cleveland gets their only win of the season when the Packers come to town.

Ted, Mike & Dom - many, many years to show us the way. Lost, lame, sad.

Hey Mark Murphy what will your legacy be? Tough spot now with Tinsel Town under construction and houses around Lambeau selling for millions.

So here's some advice.

Retire Ted now and replace from within if possible. Give the new guy time to identify replacements for Mike and Dom and to figure out how to best evaluate and upgrade the talent on this team.

You're not still telling the board that you have full confidence in Ted and Mike - are you?!?

PS - you know what really grinds me - when they show MM on the sidelines with his multiple plastic play cards with 10,000 plays - really? seriously?

You know there are several takeaways from this last game:
1 it is the coaching and to prove it Micah Hyde leads the league in interceptions
2 It is the coaching and management to prove it Jared Cook is playing lights out for the Rams.
3 It's the management to prove it Julius Peppers has 7.5 sacks and 2 FF.
4 management goes out and gets one good veteran player and 5 bad veteran players.
I guess the only good from this year will be a great first round pick opportunity....Oh wait the management and coaches suck!!!!
In conclusion the Packers Management and coaches have wasted the best QB to play the game with only getting one SB. Hopefully AR can comeback and full strength but then what? IMO

My take away is that the band-aid finally got ripped off, with the 2nd loss of Rodgers, exposing the team and management for what they are. A defense bleeding yardage and suffering a diminishing pass rush. An offense lacking consistency and special teams without a heartbeat. Upper mgmt watching the money roll in while refusing to treat the problems that are in front of them. The diagnosis is clear, time to clean house.

Positives, Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry flashed with sacks and great at the point of attack and Damarious Randall has improved.

Negatives-almost everything

Give me 8 more and 4-12 record, high draft capital along with 4 compensatory picks to get real aggressive with in the 2018 draft.

GM-Eliot Wolf

HC- Jon Gruden (He would do it, West coast principles, check, HOF QB in place, check, this team's needs attitude and an edge)

A young assending DC with an edge, Joe Whitt? Dave Aranda?

My takeaway is that no one knows which way the Packers are headed. When AR was ad-libbing the plays at the line of scrimmage, his receivers were able to make the change immediately. With Hundley calling the plays scripted by MM, the defense already knows the plays before it is called in.

As for the defense, with Detroit averaging just over 1 yard per run, the defense could not get one pick and helped by Daniels and Matthews with penalties with third and long. But here's the biggest sad fact..it was the first game since 1971 for Detroit that they did not have to punt in the entire game. It may be time to clean house, but that's just not the Packer style.

Capers must go. He wrecked Datone Jones and Raji. Every year we want pass rushers. And TT only knows how to draft DT for DE. The Defense is to slow. Martinez tackles keep climbing, but gets burned on passing. So the solution is this. To get rid of Capers and Moss. Switch back to the 4-3-4. Move Mathews and Nick Perry to DE. The DTs are Clark and Daniels. If Peppers could play LB. Mathews and Perry can play DE. We need LBs. Always Have. Jake Ryan and Bieglo must go outside. And for now Martinez in the middle until passing situations. This sooner this team switches the better. We have the best safeties in the league. It's time they play like it. Move them around. I would even let Randall play Safety. Especially with a NEW HEAD defensive COACH!

My takeaways are that we still have enough weapons on the offense to win with when Aaron Rodgers returns in 2018. We will need to draft or sign an OT and OG to replace Jahri Evans and Bualga. And of course and as usual we will need a TE with Bennett retiring. Draft a game break WR and find Aaron Jones.

We can build a defense around Clark, Lowry, Martinez, King, Josh Jones and Burnett. We should chuck or trade everyone else on the defense. I don't like to give up on Dix but he has apparently given up on the team before AR went down. Daniels is a good player but he wastes his efforts with STUPIDITY as we saw last night. Trade him and let him commit costly penalties for another team. Draft an actual pass rusher and sign a veteran pass rusher in FA.

Special Teams - GET A LONG SNAPPER!!!

Chuck Capers and the entire defensive coaching staff, yes including the allegedly great Joe Whitt whose healthy secondary allowed nearly 400 passing yards last night.
Hire a DC who believes in tackling, pass rushing, and playing with passion on defense and maybe goes back to 4-3 defense.

Are we really going to let Aaron Rodgers stand around and do nothing with the offense for the remainder of the season? Can we not use a HOF QB to at least be part of the play calling process? Maybe he comes up with a better call than a jet sweep which starts 5 yards behind the LOS on a 4th and 2? Maybe he suggests that we throw the ball beyond the LOS every now and then. I didn't see AR spend any time with Hundley when Hundley was on the sidelines waiting for the Lions to score so that the defense could get off the field. Why?

After the first offensive series and the first 3 defensive plays I didn't see anything from the Packers sidelines or on the field that showed me that the Packers were 110% committed to winning that game last night. And I have never in 56 seasons said or felt that before about the Packers even during the morbid 70s and 80s.

Where is this team going???

Thanks, Since '61

It was a rough game, but it was better than the previous game.

MM is nowhere near as good as the hoodie.

TT is not as good as the hoodie.

DC will have to take the fall for TTs failure to provide pass rushers.

I think MM is a good coach but he has reached the point of being completely stale here. TT doesn't freshen the mix like the Patriots have. We are so set in our ways that opponents know our moves and tendencies before we do. Capers, is, I think, someone whom the game has left behind. He is still trying to tweak schemes that opponents have long learned how to neuter.

That said, the failure to try to push for a lead let alone a victory by scoring on offense in the first half is the most disappointing. Take risks and we might score enough to put a little pressure on opponents. Of course, it could blow up in our faces, but Taking no risks until the game is out of reach all but guarantees defeat. I can't blame that on TT. That's on MM.

Silverstein said that Martellus Bennett was not on the sidelines. Reportedly, he's getting a second opinion about his shoulder. GB didn't place him on IR, and it is unusual for a player who is inactive to not be with the team.

I suspect that he was prepping, having, or recovering from, surgery somewhere.

For what it's worth? (Nothing) I was kind of surprised at how Good AR Looked. I expected to see him in a Sling. He shook hands with his Right Hand, & didn't show any signs of Future Trouble with the Right Arm. It looked stronger than I expected to see. I gotta say, I expected to see worse. Probably isn't worth squat, but once again, I was pleasantly surprised at how Good AR looked. Anyone else come away with that?
