Blame Rodgers, TT, the d-line, the ghost of Favre, etc., but I really think the problem over the last three games has been the lack of Bigby. (or at least the first two losses, didn't see yesterdays game because of a combination of Brewers/ G.B. Time Warner Cable and Fox 11 screwing over people)

When the other players take care of their gaps, he seeks down the ball carrier, and I don't think Rouse has done anywhere near as good a job.

If you have to rely on a safety to stop the run there are bigger problems.

Can't count on Rosue when he isn't playing.  peprah and lee were playing DB on Sunday, but if the defense had pressure I think they would have killed the Falcons.  With the time they the QB to look the field over it is amazing they didn't score more points.

For the last three years under Sanders GB has givenm up everyting in the middle.  Barnett stands like he is waiting for a bus when a RB or TE comes across and does nothing to stop them.  They say Chillar can play all three LB positions, it about time we used him as MLB.  Maybe a game on the bench will get barnett to wake up, andf who knows maybe this change will work.

Tell Indianapolis that.  I am sure that they wish they had their starting safety.

I think Indianapolis will tell you it is a problem. I don't think Bigby is the problem. Barnett and the d-line are just not good. Pickett has fallen off and the other guys (Cole, Jolly, Montgomery) would not make most teams.

i like barnett, that said he should be an outside linebacker not in the middle.

With no Bigby(the only hitter in the lineup), Hawk getting pushed around, getting stoned or dumped on slow blitzs, or showing up late to look at the pile all day(I know he has a bad groin, but guess the coachs don't), and Bambi always out of position, and the DLine not doing much to stop anyone, it was a bad day.  It was obvious that Hawk wasn't getting anything accomplished, so why didn't they play Bishopin the middle and move Bambi to the outside?  Every team now knows that they just double team Kampman and noone else will pressure the QB.  I see a long and painful season with these mounting injuries(3 more new ones yesterday).  Why did our illustrious coach wait until the 2nd half to start using the TEs?  It has been that way for 3 wks.  He also didn't start pitching the ball out to the RB to help him find a running lane.  We did that pitchout to the RB all the time ast season for big gains, but this yr it's hand off up the middle for 2-3 yds or a fumble.

I don't think Pickett has fallen off - but he is suffering from the missed time this offseason. We'll see how he performs as the season goes on and he works himself into better shape.

If he is 'suffering' from anything then he has fallen off. He is not performing like he did last year. Whatever the excuse, his performance has fallen off.

Yep - after 5 games he's fallen off, time to cut him!

Oh wait...still 11 games left to play this season.

So Cheezer once we get Bigby back problem solved right? Plus you are trying to put a reigning defensive MVP and Bigby in the same category?

This is typical. Who said cut him? He's not performing and it is part of this team's problem. What is so hard to understand or accept about that simple premise?

You're right, at this point of the season he's not performing - but if he picks it up as the we hit the stretch of the season then I'd be happy with that, when it really, truly matters. 5 games does not necessarily mean a player has fallen off, usually you want a full season of work to determine that.

When it truly matters?? Did we not start the season or has it just been a terrible dream thusfar? We only play 16 games they all truly matter. The Brewers played 162 and ask them if 1 game mattered. Time for you guys to start calling a spade a spade.

Every game matters - but when it comes down to the stretch I'd rather them build up steam and roar into the postseason then fade like has happened far too often in the past.
