And?
The packers have sucked at run defense for 8+ years and have been giving people career days consistently. While this is a huge concern of mine and super-frustrating, it's not game or season-breaking. And the Packers were 1-2 questionable PI calls, a special teams blunder, and a turnover away from winning this game by 3 scores.
It's the NFL. Every team has weaknesses and strengths. The Packers rarely let teams blow them out and has comeback potential. The Packers are scoring points. They had a down day on sacks on turnovers.
It's amazing how we go from "Hey renewed defense! Look at all these sacks and turnovers!" to "Smoke and mirrors! We're gonna get throttled!" like this hasn't been the Packers' MO for years.

Hopefully they can do something to âfixâ it. I just donât know if the players are there to do it.
We arenât the worst team in the NFL, but obviously not close to the best.
Put all that with refs that donât or canât make proper calls, and it almost seems like there is some kind of âfixâ on.
The non pass interference call was unbelievable. Isnât that kind of play why the NFL put PI challenges in place in the first place? The ONLY ones that thought it wasnât PI was the refs. Even Philly fans knew it was PI.
So will the NFL apologize for this obvious screw up? I doubt it.
Is it the only reason we lost? Who knows. Had it been properly called and we went down and scored, it may have changed the whole outcome.
