Despite getting a 28-26 win over the lowly Detroit Lions there is not a whole lot of positives the Packers can take out of their week 4 match up. Despite what Mike McCarthy thinks, problems still flow rapidly from Packer Land.
The Packers would have to be pleased about "cleaning up" their penalty issue for the time being...(We will know for sure once it becomes a weekly thing).
Special teams continue to be a glaring weakness for this team. Tim Masthay's opening kick off (a 21 yarder) was just the beginning of the Packers special team struggles for the second week in a row. Jordy Nelson, who was benched at the end of last season fumbled twice on kickoff returns. Both of which were recovered by the opposition.
Ever sense Mike McCarthy has gotten to Green Bay he has preached accountability and availability. At some point (sooner than later would be great!) Shawn Sloccum, the Packers special teams coach needs to be held accountable. Waves of players have come and gone in McCarthy's tenure as head coach, and yet the same results. New punters, new kick/punt returners, new blocking schemes...The works. It has all been changed up. At some point it NEEDS to be recognized as a "coaching issue" and not a "player issue"
So how about it, coach? How about we clean that area up.
