On October 17, 2010 the Green Bay Packers lost to a bad AFC East opponent to go to 3-3 on the season. The Packers dropped two games in a row in overtime, one to Washington and this one to the Dolphins. People were questioning the offense and the coaching staff.

If the Packers keep 12, my sincere hope is Jordan Love forces his way out in a trade. He deserves so much better, and the Packers would deserve the painful rebuild they would face with no future QB.

We are going to hear a lot about what the “Packers think of Jordan Love” this offseason based on our perceptions of what happens at 1265. Just remember the Packers had so much faith in Aaron Rodgers that they drafted Brian Brohm in the 2nd round in 2008.

I feel Darius Shephard gets a pass for Monday. He's a young player who made a bad mistake on the punt return. The INT has more to do with poor field conditions, an inaccurate throw, and a bad bounce. However, his lack of explosiveness on the returns he did have was alarming. 1/2

The Cowboys have lost to the Cardinals, 49ers, Eagles, Bills, and Dolphins. In those losses, they gave up 222, 170, 109, 266, and 91 yards rushing. They are pretty middle of the pack statistically and in PFF grades, but teams that have beaten them found success on the ground.
