First of all, let's get the facts straight:
Supposedly, Bob Sanders doesn't blitz.
- Green Bay Press Gazette writer (I think it was Pellisero) looked at tape of the past 4 games, and found that the Packers blitzed on about 35% of their defensive snaps.
Keep in mind, Pack have played Vikings, Titans, and Bears in the past month... all teams that like to run. That obviously limits the snaps you can bring a blitzer to get to the QB.
Sanders isn't by any means stingy in blitzing as of late.
He deserves blame for this abysmal performance tonight, but you have to realize that our players executed like the Slowik days.
If you're going to call out Sanders, than do it based on what 93z did: Sanders' seemingly inability to make effective adjustments. Although the ST sure as hell didn't help tonight.
