    Pack is sliding

    I will predict pack will go 0-6 or 1-5 in next six games, the reason is there is no leader of the team, I am quite suprised Woodson did not take it, he is the one that has shown professionalism during this season.  I don't want to hear about sillystring arm being the new leader, he is not.If I have to hear about gap play and pad level from MM I think I will puke. These are professional atheletes,it goes a little deeper than that. If you teach them to be robots about how they play that is exactly what you get. NO PASSION FOR THE GAME. See you in the basement Lions

    Regrettably, I have to agree with your larger point.  Basically, except for Favre, this is the same team as last year.  There was an article in which a player (forget who) was reviewing game film from last year's Seattle game play and compared it to how this team is playing this year and he was astonished.  No one is attacking the ball.  This team is not playing with passion.  Something is wrong.  It is one of those intangibles.  As a coach you cannot "joystick" your players as MM seems to suggest.  I predicted 4-12 before theseason started.  I still really hope I'm wrong, but man something has to change...and fast.

    With those two little words, you have shredded what little credibility you had.

    Rodgers is not the problem he is playing quite well, he just will not stay on the field in the long haul. I orginally thought he was going to be awful but he has proved me wrong. Problem is, he is not a leader. Do you think the veterans on the team look to him to lead them out of the tunnel on Sunday? Someone needs to take that role or this ship will sink

    Being a leader is something that is earned. I think Rodgers is starting to earn the respect of his teammates. He has shown a lot of class in the way he has handled the whole Favre mess. Last week he also probably earned a lot of respect by playing hurt. This team will come around and Rodgers will be the guy who leads them!

    Its hard for a first year player to become a leader.  I think AR is slowly getting the respect of his teammates and will probably be the leader before long.  BF wasn't the leader at first either.  I wonder if Al Harris was a leader on D?  Woodson might be one of those non-vocal leaders who lead by example.  But before we lose all hope, lets see what happens on Sunday.

    While I personally think it would have been far wiser to keep Favre around, I do think Aaron Rogers is doing the best job he can under the circumstances.  In my mind Favre brought a lot of those valuable intangibles to every game.  I know a lot of guys disagree with that, but whatever.  Now you dance with the one who brung ya', and that's A-Rod.  We could have done a lot worse than Rogers.  This coaching staff needs to figure out how to rekindle, or at least help facilitate, that team special chemistry.  Hopefully that will come as the season progresses.

    Line of the day, Cheese. (I'm envious. Thought I had a decent one yesterday and nobody even read it in their haste to get back at old tank.)

    Rodgers is not a first year player, he is a 4 th year and the offenseive guys know him.  IMHO, the offense rallied around him against the Falcons, the real problem is somebody stepping up in the defense.  It is hard for the defense unless Hawk or Barnett step up.
