Corners Lost the Game!

[PackerPro42]

This game along with the Cowboys game proves the fact that the Packer's defense can't function without solid secondary play, particularly corner play. Harris' play against big time receivers has been less than mediocre which forces the OLB's to play a zone coverage, which then leads to the lack of pressure on the QB, which then leads to wide open receivers after a certain period of time. And when the defense is below average, the Packer's offense goes right down the shiter with them because of the fact that the offense can't play a comeback game because they're not patient enough and are to inexperienced in situations like this.

Coaching.

I called it too - corners are slipping. Mostly Harris. Don't get angry with this as we were one step away from the Super bowl.

It was certainly more than the corners........
We had a gift at the end and spit the bit.

It's a chicken and egg thing. You can't let a pro QB have as much time as Manning had and expect to win.

I agree.

True, it was also coaching and Favre not making a legendary OT drive.

Manning played a fantastic game. He took a lot of big shots and kept coming. Really, hats off to him.



The Giants really were just the better team all around. We NEED to get stronger on the Dline even if it's just through growth and I'd like to see Harris as a nickle back at this point in his career. He's good, but with the defense we play, we need great corners.

I agree.

Maybe, but this is a total coaching failure not giving Al any help. Between that and dubious playcalling on O, this one is on M3.

[dissident94]

Too much time given to Manning. We do need some young corners. But just no pass ruch what so ever killed us.

Corners sucked and the coaches not reacting to the corners sucking sucked. Nevermind the offensive and defensive game plane sucked. How about some ball awareness eh? Yeah fuck fundementals like jumping on a loose ball and breaking down to tackle someone. Or fuck how bout lets get 5 yards when we need 15 or 3 when we need 8 to kep those mother fucking drives going yeah baby. Fuck or how bout we just come out and jizz on our face because it's to cold out ooo it's sooo cold.

Calm down. Those plays you speak of were Brett utlimately taking what the defense gave him. Would you rather him force into double and triple coverage, like he used to do? They had a chance to win in OT and didn't.

While not so foul-mouthed, i agree with your assessment. I said all game that I was really upset with the game plan and plays being called by Mike McCarthy on offense. Too many runs on 1st down, not enough runs on 2nd down and the over and over and over again calling of screens was sick. Wide Receiver screens DO NOT WORK in the NFL, especially with an unhealthy Koren Robinson running them. Too many routes being run to the outside where it is tough to throw into the wind with cold hands and a cold football led to interceptions. Dink and Dunk over the middle seemed more appropriate and I hardly seen it today. I believe coaching also has to be somewhat responsible for the mental breakdown and lack of selfcontrol in defensive penalties. Great season, but this loss hurts.

Farve was throwing into coverage. 2 picks, the lame duck deep ball into triple coverage, etc. I cannot believe the Giants defense gave us nothing. Where are the damn slants, screw the WR screen. The coaches just could not find it and the lack of an attempt at a running game just left the chuff down the field offense. No rhythm no nothing. Damn below zero and you don't want to run the ball.

He threw 2 passes into double coverage. The second INT was poor execution. But you were referring to the plays that Favre threw short of the marker. In the past he would have forced those somewhere else and the Pack probably wouldn't have gotten to OT becuase Favre would have had 5 ints instead of 2.
