Give the Defense some credit· Page 2

Was good to see them pull it together late in the game and get the W. Missing many starters on offense is likely part of the stagnant first half - saw some good playcall adjustments late in the game, which is something I haven't seen in quite some time.

Pass rush was very effective, secondary didn't play too bad either - especially considering we were down a couple of guys back there. I would like to see more man coverage, though. The big question still remains - will they figure out how to stop the run? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Nice to see some grit and a few guys man up - been waiting to see that for quite some time.

Why does there almost always have to be an excuse for when The Packers win?
Here's a game fact.
From the Olave catch late in the 1st half until The Saints final drive of the game, The Saints had ZERO 1st downs.
Defense gave up 10 points! Period!

The Packers played without their #1 Rb, their(arguably) #1 Wr, their all pro Lt, their starting Lg, they lost their all pro starting ILb in the 1st half.

Nobody was using those missing parts as an excuse for The Packers.

After listening to the players comments, this team is galvanized, they have each others backs.

Hope you all like roller coasters, it's gonna be a quite a ride.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Packers fans in general seemed conditioned to credit the offense and blame the defense. So when the defense leads the way, the defense just gets ignored other than excuses if why it went well. Only getting attention when they fail.

The NFL has set up the rules to favor the offenses, and they basically completely ignore OL holding (especially IOL holding) unless it's obvious from the TV booth. So when the defense does well, they're already overcoming the rules and the other team.

Based on what?

That QB put up ten points and got their lone offensive TD on a short field cuz we went for it on fourth down.

So the Saints having two games of playing better in the second half is somehow meaningful, but the Lions one game of beating the Chiefs is not meaningful? Why such a difference?

Lions looked pretty good against the Falcons, and the last three games between Packers and Lions, the Lions are 3-0.

Which I thought would of been the longest streak for a long time, but in 2017/2018 the Lions were 4-0 against the Packers. Before that, you have to go back to before Favre joined the team for the Lions to win 3 straight, those then did win a couple of 3 out of 4.

I'm thinking the Packers are going to need to get some injured guys back to have a chance, though it sounded as if they thought they might get some back on Sunday and didn't, so hopefully ready for Thursday.

I'll wait to see when they actually play an explosive offense.

Where is the consistency in logic here?

Packers defense is based on pass rush dominating... currently the Lions have the best OL on the Packers schedule. Others with a top 10 OL include the Falcons and Buccaneers. So I'm guessing there will be more fire Barry talk after the Lions game as the defense will go as the opponents OL goes.

Though could be an interesting shootout if the Packers get healthy on offense.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Jaguars have hired Anthony Campanile as their DC. We lose coach

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
