[wtf] =/= [wtf]

Any opinions on the post itself?

My opinion on the post... the Packers have only been clutch defensively one time this year, the same amount of times that Tim Tebow has been clutch.

Surrendering a double digit lead in the fourth quarter and letting the offense creep within signal digits and then making a stop at the end of the game is not clutch, it's called saving your ass. 😉

If the defense was clutch, they would not have needed a stop at the end of the game to win it, as they did have a 21 point cushion with 8 minutes left in the game.

I'm not saying that it's a good thing we let them come that close to winning, but it would be considered clutch IMO.

21 points up and 8 minutes to go, the Packers NEEDED a defensive stop to seal the game. A clutch defense would have provided it then and there, rather than letting the opponent pass down the field for a score, not once, but twice within minutes putting the pressure then on the offense.

Basically, this thread has confirmed for me that the word "clutch" is synonymous with "overrated but lucky." For some reason, media types love to slobber over this kind of player. They might as well shorten the games to 2 minutes, since that seems to be the only part of the game that matters to most people. [boxing]

No one is saying our defense is great. No one is saying it's better to be clutch than great. Of course it'd be better if the D closed the games out earlier than in the last few minutes. I'm just saying that since our defense is not great, it's a good thing they can at least close the game away when their backs are against the wall. (Back against the wall = stop them or it's a tie game or a loss... backs are not against the wall if we lead by >7 points).

Lucky? I don't think luck necessarily has anything to do with it. As for overrated, I don't think anyone on these forums overrates our defense. It's pretty much known our defense, the pass defense to be exact, is not one of our strongest points. But they do close out games well. That's the point I'm trying to make here.

I was wondering how the hell my thread that sat for two days with no replies got to two pages. Apparently it was so bad it became the "let's argue about wording" thread.

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

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!!!!

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.

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
