Defense spoils Matt Flynn's comeback

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Matt Flynn took the field to a hero's welcome from much of the 77,871 at Lambeau Field on Sunday when he entered the game midway through the third quarter.

He walked off as just another victim of a blown opportunity by the Green Bay Packers' defense.

Not even Flynn's remarkable relief effort could make up for the defensive deficiencies that have befallen the Packers ever since Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone altered this season's path on Nov.

I'm sure Capers will fix this by Thursday[sarcasm]

With the season Johnson is having, I'm not sure anything is slowing him down. Plus I'm sure Stat Padford knows from the Chicago game on MNF all he has to do is heave it up and let Johnson go up and get it (well, more so than he normally does).

Defense might of spoiled the lead in overtime, but they might of looked like the best group overall in the game.

Defense looked horrible at times, but offense and special teams looked even worse their own times. Defense got wore down and part of that might of been because the Packers offense couldn't stay on the feild and give the defense a break.

Urgency, we need to win this game no mater what. If we don't win this game we aren't making the playoffs.

Defense better damn well wake up for this one.

I'll give them a little leeway because of so many 3 and outs today by our offense which kept them on the field. But those missed tackles are just killing us. We're better than this.

Forget our record, forget everything that has happened before this game. This will make or break our season.

Most teams don't make 10 minute drives all game long and I'm not convinced our defense has been on the field for significantly longer periods of time than anyone else. They made one of the worst starting QBs in the league look respectable all day. Then when OT started our offense went on a 10 play 5 minute drive and the d proceeded to get their asses run over when a stop would have won the game while AP was watching on the sideline but apparently they were still too tired from the 5 or 6 minutes they had to be on the field during the 4th quarter. That's just kind of pathetic.
