Everything was "close but just not good enough."

Coaching was not good enough. Defense waited a little too long to be good enough. Offense made just a few too many mistakes to end drives and cost us points. Officiating was just bad enough to screw us.

Same old story all over again. Just like 2007.

That about sums it up.

Do you really see it that way?

I mean sure there were a few stupid plays and a few mistakes but I don't see how people aren't simply livid over the fact Rodgers carved up the defense with basically nothing in the run game and no big plays at WR.

I mean to me that's a fucking joke.

The 2 sacks we got were from a CB and a safety.

A TE and Rodgers buying time with his legs beat a 100% healthy D.

Let that sink in for a minute.



Holy fuck.

That's another reason I cut Butler. He picks up a 15 yard penalty and then drops the ball on the very next play.

Don't forget that he stopped on his route the play after his drop as well.

We equally carved up the Packers D.

We weren't the Bad News Bears out there, but did the Packers end their own drives today? Call it ref favoritism, but fact is, Packers were almost flawless. No dropped passes. Maybe 1 pre-snap penalty.

When playing a near flawless opponent like that, we had too many mistakes...even if only a few.

That's one of the two major differences today.

Exactly how it began with Landry et all. That shit went on for years. We need pieces to the puzzle. I falsely believed the defense was making the leap now. They didn't. If not for safety blitzes we'd never get Rodgers.

LB help is on the way. Now its DT and DE and CB. And Romos replacement. Didn't want to believe it. Maybe Tapper develops.

All we needed was a couple stops that resulted in FGs instead of TDs.

The D simply couldn't do that against a team that was missing its biggest playmaker and a RB that still wears a TE number.

You can't ask for a rookie QB to play much better than Dak played tonight.

Agreed that all we needed was a couple TDs-into-FGs. Just as true, all we needed was one FG-into-TD and we win.

The way I look at it, though, is that we committed a few mistakes ourselves leading to the FG.

I'm still not going to get overly excited about Jaylon until he's actually taking reps in training camp. Outside of that he's like trying to chase after a unicorn.

I'd move on from Marinelli. Give me someone who will actually attack the QB, tired of this bend and eventually break shit.

The bottom line is until we get a defense that can consistently pressure QB's we aren't winning jack in the post-season. Rogers carved us up in 2014 and did the same thing tonight. I have no doubt Brady or probably Big Ben would do the same thing if we had made it to the Superbowl.

A competent pass rush is mandatory. Hiding our defensive weakness with ball control offense is the best we could do with the players we had and if we're honest it succeeded much better than it should have. Given the severe lack of real talent on our defense it should have been much worse. Especially since retard Garrett/Linehan so often choose to go off script and revert to their default pass happy bitch play calling that brings 3 and outs that wear out a defense that is flimsy to begin with.

It's just a shame that despite all the flaws with this team we could still hang with anybody and we blew it coming into this game not ready. Which is another Garrett hallmark we see nearly every big game.,
