Holding the Packers to 26 at Lambeau with zero help is a very good job, only putting up 21 however is not. The Packers defense is junk and the Pats made them look good for 3 quarters.
Those were two very good teams on the field today. Advantage home team. We played well enough to stay in the game until the end, but not well enough to win.
For everyone whining about D not playing well.... Offense has been equally horrendous if not worse.... If offense made a few more plays we could have won... (close but still could have won).....credit to GB... they played heck of a game..I am not worried about playing them in SB.... We lost by 6 pts now at Lambeay.... we will play much better on a neutral field..... On to SD
Actually, we may want the Broncos to win. If the Pats lose one more and KC wins sweeps the rest of their games, the Chiefs may have an easier final month than the Broncos.
Every o-lineman is taught to do that. It's gamesmanship of the oldest kind in football. Every line coach teaches it. There are ways for D-lineman to beat it with rips and swim moves and we didn't.
People will never get it will they. No matter how many times we lose a game because the D couldn't get off the field, all people will look at it is the score, blindly. The offense had eight possessions, subtracting a kneel down. It's not enough.
Our defense gave up 3.25 points per possession to GB today, GB averages 2.87 points per drive. 26 points is all they put up, but Green Bay scored more per possession against us than they average against the league.
IMO, the Pats called the game today like they thought they were the better team and that talent would win out. They stayed conservative until the last drive, and that's just a foolish way to approach a game in Green Bay. They would've been better served with a high-variance gameplan that took some risks to try to be more competitive in TOP.
Going into this game, it was a mistake not to recognize their inability to get the Packers off the field in less than 5-6 minutes per drive. Credit is due for tightening up and preventing TDs in the red zone, but the offense needed to be more concerned with TOP, and they established that they weren't from the moment they punted on 4th and 1 from the 50 in the first half.
This defense played as well as it could reasonably be expected to in Lambeau. It's a real shame that the offensive decision-making didn't reflect that.
This is one of the games where if both teams make it to the Super Bowl one of them absolutely destroys the other one. Leaving the entire media world to look back at the regular season game saying, "Was it really that close?"
The patriots pass defense played about as well as you possibly could when you consider the fact there was no pass rush and they were facing the Aaron at home.
The defense was light out in the second half when it looked like they were on pace to give up 45
