Gotta put up something on the Packers, even though the mere mention of this Season's quagmire hurts. I'll watch every game until I die - don't get me wrong. DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket is my most cherished annual purchase. But even the most irrational NFL fan would agree that this Packer squad is an abject failure. Of imagination. Of inspiration. Of everything. We appear to be entering the post-Favre-era with a boundless desert of despair ahead of us. Hope everybody packed extra longjohns 'cause it could be a LONG cold streak. To pick at entrails a bit, I just saw the intro screen that finally made me realize we're starting an offensive line with three rookies and a second-year guy at center. A solid 'Sconi guy - Mark Tauscher - completes the squad. But one Badger does not a well-protected den make. How small-story sad that what had been the basis of the previous Packer success (big line, run the crap out of sweeps, keep Favre/Starr covered at all costs) is now quite possibly our most glaring flaw. Sure, rookies can surprise you. But the Pack's rooks are named Tony Moll, Jason Spitz and Daryn Colledge. Daryn Colledge. Two spelling mistakes in one lug's name. And he's our Left Tackle. We're so screwed.
Hope your own depth charts are stunning in their, um, depth today. Rock on.
