Last night was a tale of 2 halfs, the first half was full of optimism and hope. The second half was, well the opposite of that. Due to how the Packers played, there are some out there trying to be optimists by pointing to the first half (the glass is half full), while others point to the second half (the glass is half empty) as the more correct gauge of the team. Let's hear the arguments:Glass is half full: The Pack were leading at half 9-7 over the highly favored Eagles and had all the momentum going their way
Glass is half empty: The only reason the Pack were in this game was for 2 blunders by Philly fumbling inside the 5 yard line when they were going to score a TD. This game should have been 21-9 at the half.
Glass is half full: The Packers defense caused one of those fumbles and they did a good job harassing McNabb and sacked him 4 times and caused several hurries.
Glass is half empty: Oh please! Ahmad Carroll got absolutely torched repeatedly and Al "I want more money" Harris played pitifully. The secondary is awful and McNabb ate them up in the second half.
Glass is half full:Morency ran for almost 100 yards in place of Green and the run blocking looked very good.
Glass is half empty: Big deal, his inability to catch a ball caused a huge momentum changing INT and his fumble gave the Eagles another TD. He was responsible for giving Philly 14 pts.
Glass is half full: Greg Jennings is becoming a star. The WR were getting open.
Glass is half empty: Driver dropped a sure TD pass, wasn't aware of the back of the end zone on the other one, dropped a huge 3rd down pass that would have kept an early 3rd Q drive going. Franks dropped yet another big pass.
Glass is half full: Ryan and Raynor were fantastic on special teams.
Glass is half empty: If you gotta go with your punter and kicker being good, you are indeed reaching for positives.
Here's my take, after that game, just finish your damn beer and get another one and stop arguing if it's half full or half empty before it gets warm, it's going to be a long season.

It is going to be a long season, especialy with this defense.
I see glimmers of hope on offense her and there, glimpses of things to come...Jennings at receiver especially.
The Pack moved the ball well at times in the 1st half, the O-Line definitely needs some work, especially in pass protection, but they are mostly young gys with little experience learning (or not) how to zone block. This is a young offense, a year or two from now, if they gel and add a good free agent or two on the line, this might not be a bad offensive ball club.
Scrap the entire defense except for the linebackers and start over...especialy the secondary. Carroll and Woodson can leave NOW, thank you, they are useless on pass protection especially. The Packer defensive unit will kill this team every game this year...guaranteee it.
I am stil not convinced in this coaching staff / front office, haven't been since they came here.
Maybe the glass is twice as large as it should be!
We need to dump Shitenheimer as the DB coach. Apparently MM never saw the hack job the guy did here last time with our DB's. Not excusing Carroll for his crap playing, but his coaching staff isn't helping things at all.
Free - The beer glass can never be too big.
