Packer Post-Game: Week 2

Another game, another loss. It is very plausible that this team could go into the bye week with a 0-5 or 1-4 record. Their play the last two weeks definitely makes this possible. I will say there were more positive things to note in this game, but it was still very rough

Positives:

(1) When needed the Packer's offense finally got going. You could see an intensity in Favre that I have not seen yet this season. He was obviously fired up and started to move the ball when it was absolutely necessary. He was getting the crowd into it and was trying to fire up the defense.
(2) Fewer penalties. However, there were still too many penalties.
(3) Donald showed a presence that I have not seen in awhile.
(4) Better tackling, but not great.

Negatives:

(1) The defense can not stop anyone when it counts. It was so painful to hear the crowd chanting, "Reggie, Reggie" watch the Packer's defense give up two critical first downs late in the fourth quarter.
(2) Too many pass interference and illegal contact penalties.
(3) No offensive consistency.
(4) Favre has looked rather pedestrian for two straight games.

Honestly, watching this game has shown me that the Packers have definitely entered the rebuilding stage. I have a feeling Favre will be retiring this year as the playoffs are not really a possibility for this team the way they are playing. I am not seeing any changes as the Packers play Tampa Bay.
