The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Packers WR James Jones and WR Jordy Nelson separated themselves from the crowd this spring and summer during OTAs. "Outstanding off-seasons," said McCarthy during the last Packers minicamp. Nelson might have had a good offseason, but it appears he's still behind James Jones in the pecking order. In 12-team leagues that start three WRs and a flex, consider picking up Nelson late....

High expectations greeted the Green Bay Packers in August, as the team arrived at training camp. Practices -- held across the street from Lambeau Field -- were very physical, as the Packers tried to show they wouldn't be bullied around like they were far too often in 2008.

That 6-10 season, we all were told, was a memory. It was a fluke. It wasn't how things would be conducted in Green Bay. Bad tackling, soft defense, poor special teams play, and stupid penalties were going to be a thing of the past.

All that stuff about great quarterbacks slinging it around? Forget it. This is, after all, the oldest of old-school NFL rivalries. It’s not usually pretty when the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears get together.

That’s what eventually happened Sunday night — Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers broke out of a game-long funk to find Greg Jennings on a game-winning touchdown pass with 1:11 to go, giving the Packers a come-from-behind 21-15 win over Chicago in a rather strange season opener at Lambeau Field.

Injuries are not an excuse. It's also not permissible to point fingers at guys on the other side of the ball when your team has problems. No one in Green Bay will do this, despite the way things went down last year. The Packers lost eight of their ten games by a combined total of 30 points. Despite this, no one in the locker room pinned the blame on the three-ring circus in training camp, major injuries on defense, or anything else.
