Thread: A season is a long journey. At 2-1 we're OK.

Heck, I'll go further than that, JABF. We are in EXCELLENT SHAPE if we can just clean up the O and get the passing game going again. It has looked the last 2 weeks like our receivers forgot how to catch and our QB couldn't hit the side of a barn. I'm really hoping that's just a hiccup and we start scoring again.

The D is playing great. Way better than any of us expected, especially
with Urlacher not yet up to 100%.

Both our key divisional rivals are 1-2 and neither of them are looking good.

We usually play Dallas well and ought to be able to sack and pick Romo repeatedly. 4-1 coming out of the bye fresh to face Detroit at home is not unrealistic. This team has a golden opportunity here to seize control of this division over the next month.

Can Webb, Cutler, and the WRs get their heads outta their backsides?

A) Tice totally screwed up the playcalling/adjustments in week 2 (notice how GB improved at half despite Rodgers getting his ass beat in the 1st half vs. Seattle).

B) Our receivers have had butterfingers 2 weeks in a row. Hester in particular looks like he couldn't catch a cold in a daycare center out there.

C) Cutler has sucked. Sorry but Rodgers had WORSE pass pro yesterday than JC did in any game this year but still hit the short stuff and kept picks to a minimum. Cutler must play better.

Establish the run, WRs need to catch the ball, and Cutler has to elevate his game considerably...that's what the O needs.

qft. this. 10000 internets to you sure.

This team is "half-a-passing-attack away" from being among the NFL's best with the way the defense is playing (7 takeaways, 14 sacks, good run D, and only 3 TDs allowed in 3 games). And all that has been accomplished with Urlacher still playing himself into shape and improving week after week. Tice, Cutler, and Webb just need to keep stepping up their games to get there. I am assuming that the dropsies we have seen will come around. Call me a homer, but I think we have a great chance to win this division with some very attainable improvements in execution and playcalling, especially with Detroit and Green Bay down a game already each.
