Packers don't use Bills' rough play as excuse

Bills cornerbacks spent 60 minutes roughing up Packers receivers Sunday, using physical force to disrupt routes. No way was this legal. Aaron Rodgers questioned it himself.

On Monday, the tone changed.

"They played defense," receiver Jordy Nelson said when asked if Buffalo's cornerbacks were too physical. "Nothing we haven't seen before."

In other words, the blue print is out there. The only question is, will the officials let them do it?

Forget the officials, you can't control that. The Packers' WRs can be physical too, fight for/to the ball rather than waiting for it to come to them. Most importantly they can figure out how to read the defense so they know when to play the back shoulder.

Nor should they. Wide open receivers that dropped the ball or that Rodgers flat out missed had little to do with press coverage. We won the line of scrimmage too.

Only one play I can think of where rough play had an impact was on the 2nd INT. Boykin was getting raped.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Although it is interesting, to say the least, how the League preached how they were going to call pass interference closely and the "muggers"(ie the Seahawks etc.) are playing no more different than last year.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
