Just a terrible effort on both sides in that second half. They took that timeout early during a nice drive, got sacked, and it was all downhill from there. Just a bad loss.
Hot take…the Packers are kinda average.
Yes. The D is great because they stopped the Bears and NE with a backup QB.
Rodgers sucks. Throwing 3 deep balls with no chance going 3 and out after the giants tied the game at 20. Great way to let your defense rest. Two no chance balls from the 4 to tie the game. Defense gave up a lot of 1st downs. crapty call by refs to start the second half changing a sack and 2nd and 16 to a 10 yard penalty and 1st down for the giants.
Defense 7th in PPG allowed. Offense 21st in PPG. But the defense is the problem. Uh huh.
Kirk CousinsJustin FieldsTom Brady sans receiversBailey ZappeDaniel JonesNot exactly Murderer's Row.Like Dish said, the defense may not be the problem, but I wouldn't hang my hat on them either.
Nobody’s hanging their hat on the defense. But crying about it is pretty silly. The defense is fine. The offense being unable to put a drive together is the issue.
So is Rodgers, since the SF playoff game last year. Can't seem to read the field anymore, lost his pinpoint accuracy, and his deep balls suck. Sad.
$50M doesn't buy you what it used to.
The QB refuses to run the ball. People will pin that on LaFleur but it’s the QB
Yea, I think he gets ultimate discretion at the line. We have no idea the run/pass mix that’s being called. Also, LaFleur isnt going to call out Rodgers in the media.Also, agree with the point regarding the deep ball. I don’t know the last time Rodgers has been reliable on that. It seems like he’s always 5 yards too far.
The Packers are reaping what they sowed through a lot of hubris in their last couple of drafts. They drafted luxury (Love) or niche (DeGuara) players consistently in years past, and positions that have not historically been high-value returns (DT, ILB). They traded 2 2nd round picks for a what is currently a gadget player. Talent wins out, and the Packers seemingly believed they could coach subpar talent into a contender. Thus far, they're wrong.
