Looking around the stands in Lambeau field at the end of the third quarter, I realized that the Bears fans and the Packers fans shared a common emotion.  They were both very disappointed with their team.  The Bears big acquisition Jay Cutler was beyond awful, and it appeared that the high powered offense they hoped for was all hype.  I could see the looks of disgust and disappointment on all the Bears fan’s faces around me.  The bad news is, all the Packers fans faces had the same looks.

Coming into the season, the Packers having a high producing offense was thought to be a given.  Three quarters of football into the regular season and this assumption was filled with doubt.  There had seen big drops by Driver and Nelson, an ineffective running game, Rodgers  had not hit his receivers and an abysmal performance by the offensive line highlighted by Allen Barbre’s performance.  While the Packers special teams had a solid performance with the exception of a missed field goal, the defense was dominate the offense was far from perfect.  The Packers did finish the night with a win thanks to a touchdown pass from Rodgers to Jennings and a huge interception by Al Harris.    However, the Packers victory leaves us with different concerns and questions.

How will the Packers establish a running game?  Will the offensive line be able to protect Rodgers?  Was Babre a victim of opening night jitters or is his technique that bad?  When is Rodgers going to start passing with the accuracy he had last year?  Will our receivers be able to improve their hands?  Playing two weak teams, the Bengals and the Rams,  in the next two weeks gives the Packers time to try to solve these problems.  Hopefully McCarthy can come up with some answers. GO PACK GO
