We got smoked

My Summary:

1. The line still sucks, and we have a QB that needs time
2. The DB core is really bad, reminds me of the pre Rhodes era
3. We got nothing from our line or blitzing packages. I don't know if Hunter is going to make that much of a difference but Zimmer's D seems to be predicated on pressure on the quarterback.

If this is the level of our talent we are in for a very long season.

The first two were literally the two biggest worries from the offseason coming to fruition in game 1. I'll hold off on 3 being a problem long term for now. The Packers are the most egregious holding line in the NFL and they run a lot of quick passing routes which combined make it very difficult to get pressure on Rogers. It's not a great start I will admit that but their linemen are the kings of locking you up and not getting called for it. There was a picture on ESPN of Rogers and the lineman in front of the picture had his hands under the should pads and locked in on the backside of the pad. That's more of a hug at that point than a block.
