Green Bay Outlook

I'm seeing everyone's thoughts on this spread all over so maybe we can centralize them here-

Me-

They have Mike McCarthy as HC! He was Farve's buddy as QB coach in '99. The he was our OC 2000-2004 in the golden era of Fumbles the Clown. Last year OC for dreadfully worst SF. They have Ted Thompson in the FO turning this into a moribund franchise.

you get a good feel from Packer news sites-
Even those capable of seeing clearly when it comes to their favorite team had to be appalled. We figured the offense would struggle, and it did not disappoint. A total of 267 yards, two turnovers, one-for-11 on third down and it never saw what it looked like from inside the Bears' 35. It was as bad as advertised, shut out for the first time in the 15-year Brett Favre era.

But you figured the defense would be improved, especially with the additions of free agents Ryan Pickett, Charles Woodson and Maquand Manuel and fifth overall pick A.J. Hawk. But against an offense that was supposed to be as potent as O'Doul's (allegedly), it saw them yield 361 total yards and, if not for some crummy execution that allowed Bears kicker Robbie Gould to become an instant fantasy league pickup, Chicago would have hit the 40-point plateau.

I found this somewhere too-
RANT: The Packers' outside linebackers, A.J. Hawk and Brady Poppinga, make the unit bigger, faster and more physical. But Hawk, a rookie, and Poppinga, a second-year player, were out of position far too much. They were active but overzealous, and linebackers coach Winston Moss needs to find a way to rein them in without cutting them off at the knees. It isn't easy, but it's what needs to happen.

---coach of the worst LB group in the league while here.

and PS
Hawk was the fifth overall pick in last April's draft, but he was barely noticeable on the field. He certainly didn't do anything to make anyone say, "Boy, I'm glad we got this guy in a Packers uniform. He's going to be a star here for years."

Hawk seemed a little slow. He appeared to often be out of position. He didn't blow up running plays headed his direction, but was more overwhelmed at the point of attack.
