Time to worry about Green Bay???

[Phicinfan]

How can a team with Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Eddie Lacy not score points?

I will tell you how, the O-line is not giving Rodgers time, and Lacy isn't finding holes.


If they don't get the O-line fixed, fantasy pts will be darn hard to find. Teams are jamming up and putting huge pressure on Rodgers.

Folks have had reason to worry about Rodgers "elite" status and the Packers in general for some time now. However schedule makers were not kind to Green Bay for the first three games and things should get much better starting in week four. If Lacy can't run against the Bears then it's time to worry, sincerely worry but I'd wait one more week before sweating it too much.

Im already worried about Lacy, Starks has looked better than him every game so far.

I heard a caller ask last night if Lacy was turning into Trent Jr? The host said let's wait until week four. If he sucks then it may be time to label him a bust.

I agree with mud. The Pack faced three top run defences to start the year.

They have the Bears and the Vikes up next. If things are not back on trace by the end of the Vikings game then yes we should worry.

I think that Is a bit premature. He put up 1178 yards and 11 tds last year and 4 (potential) bad games would earn him "bust" labels?

 

[mudloggerone]

It was in reference to the Trent Jr. comment in that would he become a bust the same way.

Remember Trent had a great first year catching 51 balls, combined rushing and receiving yards of 1317 and scored 16 TD's before falling off the face of the earth.

Spot on. Lacy has faced 3 of the 5 best run defenses in the league. Even ifSeattle doesn't grade out as the top run D, when they play at home they might as well be. The NYJ are crushing RBs and Det hasn't let a single RB do a thing against them.

Lacy isn't the only concern. Some of us remember when most didn't even know IF GB had a running game or Rb, but Rodgers and crew aired it out and won convincingly. That is not the case anymore. Still have lots of talent at Wr and Qb, but the Oline is killing the value.

Their line has always been bad, and let us recall Lacy ran better late in the season last year... specifically he had only 150 yards in first three weeks. He and the Packere offense have always been somewhat erratic

Those numbers are a little deceitful. Lacy got a concussion in week 1 last year, went out, and then missed week 2.

It was wk 2 he sustained the concussion and was out wk 3... but yeah... then week 4 was 99 yards, wk 5 120 yds, wk 6 82, 94, 150....

Ok. Week 2 concussion. My bad, but same difference.
