re: Grade your team

Offense: B-/C+

Rushing game was as good as could be expected with the injuries we were dealing with....it has to be remembered that Shaw is as big a factor in our run game as anyone else after Lattimore, and probably bigger: his effectiveness as a rusher in the zone read and option helps make Lattimore or any other RB more effective, and vice-versa. When he was injured, not only was our passing game gone, but our rushing game became crippled as well. The passing game needs to improve a LOT, and our pass blocking does as well....

Defense: A-/B+

The pressure on Rodgers was as good as could be expected. One dumb play that allowed an 80-yd TD, and a couple other miscommunications that allowed for big completions when we had Rodgers scrambling for his life were really the only issues I saw, and those generally correct themselves with time, repetition, and experience.

Special Teams: D

Still having issues with coverages, and both kick-offs and punts were on the short end...
