  1. They have a better chance of converting a 3rd and 10 by passing the ball as opposed to running it on 3rd and 1 where they struggle mightily. They really need to give a player the caliber of Rodgers some better help up front by adding better players and/or getting a new O Line coach.

  2. According to many on this blog...Profootballfocus is full of BS.

    This is the WORST oline in the history of the NFL (just as last years defense was the worst in the history of the NFL).'s not stocked with All-Pros on the bench, either.

    The Packer oline should be ranked 34th, or 35th, at best.

  3. Interesting factoid:

    Only the Niners and NE have a better winning % than the *8-4* Packers.

    Guess a top 10 oline is a bit overrated?
  4. Yup. Worst 3rd and 1 team i can remember. With all the injuries it's amazing were 8-4.
  5. I don't know anything about grades for offensive linemen and line as a whole. I do know that many teams,particularly the Bears are in far worse shape then we are.
  6. Green Bay's the worst. Rodgers covers for a multitude of sins.

    No other team in my lifetime had a line so bad that defenses got big pressure with 3 and 4 man rushes, while only putting an incredible 6 men in the box against the run--and it's usually enought!

    It's Rodgers. All Rodgers. Considering the O-Line he's rescuing, Rodgers may be having the best season I've ever seen from a QB--easily top 10. He's running for his life and thowing into crowded secondaries, while his RB's are averaging next to nothing per run.

    Next year, things will be better with Bulaga and Sherrod returning, and Saturday cast into the firey abyss.

  7. I posted a similar stat from ColdHardFootball facts about a month ago, nobody believed it then either.
  8. This article is mostly ridiculous, except the part about how terrible the Packers run blocking is. Hopefully next season we'll have Sherrod back and playing great at LT and draft a solid center in the first round. That should at least give us a good 1st string O-line.

  9. hmmmm......

    so much for last month's argument on these blogs.

    the one some of us were called homers (among the other usual slams) because we said the o-line was better than some think.

    especially pass blocking.

    funny how that works.

  10. Rewatching the Minnesota game I was surprised just how bad the OLINE is. Even with extra help Rodgers rarely had a lot of time, like what we see the other teams have when were on defense. The worst was watching Newhouse getting pushed around like a rag doll on virtually every play! Rodgers does hold the ball, compared to Peyton Manning, but he also extended a lot of plays with his feet. It was clear from watching the replay that for the Packers to do well really takes a superlative effort by Rodgers because it is rare that he ever has as much time as Brady and Manning seem to have.
