During this time, the following has happened.

ARod has 38 TDs and 7 INTs.
The Packers D has 29 INTs. In addition to this, in 4 games an INT sealed the game for the Packers when the opponents were driving for the winning score. In two other games, the opponent's final drive ended in an INT (but the game wasnt within one score). Also, the Giants' last 4 possessions in a game vs. GB were INT, INT, INT, ran out of time. The Packers' D has 12 interceptions in the 4th quarter in these 14 games.
This year the Packers are 31st in the league at Pass D, giving up almost 300 yards a game.
The scoring by quarter is also interesting:
1st: 115 for Packers-48 for opponents
2nd: 134-104
3rd: 106-34
4th: 96-89

Other thoughts on the NFL:
This last week was upside-down for the teams with the highest home-away win percentage. As NE and SD lost at home. And Balt,SF, Atl, Cincy, and Green Bay won on the road.

Take out Minnesota, and the AFC and NFC north are a combined 36-17.
The AFC and NFC west have a combined one team over .500 (San Fran who is 5 games up in the division already).

Our pass D may be terrible this year, but at least they're clutch as hell.

Charlie Peprah's interception was a gift because God doesn't like quarterbacks drafted by dhazer in fantasy football.

I live in a crazy world. A lad at my work is starting Tim Tebow over Tom Brady this week in FF, and it makes sense.

Heal, Neal, heal !

Saints game, how many points did the "clutch" defense give up?
Vikings game, against a rookie QB making his first start?
Super Bowl game, was last season, different year, different season, different team.

So basically, "clutch" means that you can fuck up as badly as you want for the first 59 minutes of the game, but as long as you somehow redeem yourself in the last second, it's okay?

Please give me a defense -- or a quarterback, for that matter -- that isn't clutch but can figure out how to put together 60 minutes of consistently solid football.

Robert Horry wasn't a superstar in the NBA. Yet, he is remember as being a very clutch player because of his late game 3-pointers.

So yes, you can be clutch even if you don't play well for the first 55 minutes, if you get shit done when it matters. This defense may give up a crapload of points but they haven't allowed an opponent to tie or take the lead in the 4th quarter for a long time, even though opponents have had chances to do that. And no, it does not matter that it's the defense's fault that the game is close to begin with, in terms of "clutch". If they up their play in the final moments and stop the opposing team from tying or taking the lead, I think they can be considered clutch.

Clutch =/= Dominant

Also, you seem to think I said it's "okay" our defense is like this. I don't think so, they definitely need to get it together. I'm just trying to look at some positives of the defense instead of succumbing to despair like some of you guys are (yes I know this sentence is a bit of hyperbole).

beast (13h) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (16h) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (17h) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (18h) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (20h) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (20h) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (21h) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Ravens release Justin Tucker, err D. Watson Jr?

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Cardinals have signed TE Josiah Deguara.

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
