I cannot compute how many times this team has broken my heart! We all knew in our hearts that this would happen. Packers know that Ponder cannot handle the rush pressure.

A couple of positive things
Now the Ponder Panderers won't be able to say it was last year's coaching that was the problem. Oh, and Ponder makes Joe Webb's effort at Lambeau look Manning-like.

To sum it up in a couple of lines …
The line is not the problem, it's Ponder. He can't read past his first receiver, holds the ball too long, runs when he has men open downfield and is terrified of making a mistake.

Amid the doom, an uplifting note
This team isn't that bad. You are never as good as you are when your winning or as bad as you are when your losing. No Teddy = No offense. They are a couple players away on defense.
