Did the 2011 Week 1 Packers Defense Suck?· Page 2

McCarthy was mainly pissed off because Finley was being bear hugged for 15 yards down the field. I think Rodgers didn't like what he saw (I give him credit for not bitching about the no call on Finley) and dumped it to Kuhn for at LEAST a reception so the clock kept going. I thought it was a smart play by Rodgers and aggressive defense on Finley that they were lucky didn't get called.

That said, when the Packers blitz they were successful. When you are up 2 touchdowns it is the time to blitz, not let them methodically march the ball down the field. Same shit with McCarthey - step on their fricken necks - then let the scrubs play.

Still don't like folks saying an active player is a Hall of Fame player. It's inaccurate and uncreative to say, and bah... oh well, society is ignorant.

I don't think the Packers defense sucked. I think it was the first game of the season against one of the best offenses in the league. If this happened in week 4 or later, then I'd put more thought into does the defense suck.

3)Did you expect Capers to blitz every down? Because that would almost surely have lead to more big plays by the N.O. offense. I won't deny they made a handful of really nice plays on blitzes, but the Saints also picked up the blitz on numerous occasions, leading to big gains. Now, late in the game when it was an obvious hurry up situation, blitzing can really fatigue a team if they do it every down. Not to mention whenever the Saints move the ball, those blitzers have to run back to the LOS.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I won't use the word "sucked", yet.

But I don't see how people can say they played a "good" game, either.

1. 34 points, and half a yard away from 40.
2. What, 1 punt? (or were there 2?)

Frankly, it reminded me of a certain Monday night game way back when against Washington.

Game was a lot of fun to watch. But good as the Packers offense is, you can't expect 40 points every game.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Our defense vs a HOF QB, that could probably rip any defense up. (Steelers defense last year amazing ... Aaron Rodgers ripped it apart)

All tho:

Sacked Brees in the red zone on a 3rd and 4 I think ... Let him to 3 points.
Stopped a 4th and 1 or 4th and 2 can't remember (in red zone) ... No Points.
Stopped a 4th and 1 last minute of the game @ the goal line ... 0 points.

I'm not to worried, 3 td's for Brees is normal.

Some things need to be tweeked of course:

Wrap your tackles, Bishop - Hawk - Woodson all missed tackles that allowed an extra first down.
Shields got beat up a couple of play.

Then again that's what an hof qb does...

I too think suck is a little strong but it definitely wasn't good. Part of that goes to NO, they are a good offense, likely one of the better one we'll face all season (outside of practice anyway).

I do think the pass rush needs to improve a lot. Too much use of the 3 man rush. When that happened Brees just had all day to throw and even with 8 dropping in coverage, somebody always came open.

It was probably the most heads up play I've seen Hawk make in his career. A game-clinching play. And it was nullified by a pissant fucking official making a fucking pissant anti-football call. I don't see any contact before the ball was knocked away.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Defense allowed only 1 TD on 5 redzone trips by the Saints. That stat I did like. Didn't like the other 2 big score plays though. On the one Shields just flat out didn't get his jam on and there wasn't enough time for Collins to get over. The same exact play that the Steelers ran against us with Mike Williams. At that distance Capers needs to dial up something different I think.
