Refs Still Suck

That didn't take long.  Refs on the Green Bay game suck as bad as ever.  I wish they would have stuck with the replacements and let them get better.  A missed offensive interference call on the Saints first touchdown.  Then absolutely blowing the fumble by Sproles on the kickoff.

The catch by James Jones to seal the win was absolutely ridiculous.

Packers lose to Niners

That makes it a bad weekend for Wisconsin football.  The Packers never seemed to get in sync offensively, and the defense continued its multiple year trend of poor communication in the secondary.  After all the draft picks spent on defense this year, the defense still doesn't look any better.  I want to believe that the coaching is good, but at some point you have to wonder.

I did like how they used Randall Cobb out of the backfield.  I think he'll end up being a great weapon this year from the slot, the backfield, and returning kicks.  As long as he holds on to the ball.

I didn't notice anything out of the 1st round pick, Nick Perry.  He was involved in one sack, but quiet the rest of the time.  The same goes for the rest of the defense, except Clay Mathews and perhaps Charles Woodson.

They'll have a tough test Thursday against Chicago.  They defense better get their act together quick (I've been saying that since the start of last season, and it's getting old).  The offense needs to get in sync, too.  If not, this will be a long year for me watching the games.

Wisconsin Upset by Oregon State

As a University of Wisconsin-Madison alumni, I like to watch the Badger football games.  Not this one.  They trailed 10-0 late in the 4th, when they finally scored a touchdown.  Being behind, they were in a 5 wide set for much of the game, with Montee Ball as the fifth receiver.  That is definitely not their strength. 

I'm not terribly impressed with their new quarterback, and I don't think the coaching staff did a good job adjusting.  I usually don't armchair quarterback, but this was pretty disappointing.  I hope that they can get the offense fixed by the time the Big 10 schedule starts.  It shouldn't be hard - hand it off to Montee Ball 30 times a game.

Hopefully the Packers will have a much better start tomorrow!
