Corners Lost the Game!

al had his troubles but the failure to get him help is on MM. al is still one of the very best in the league. again...this game was lost by the offense. poor play calling (MM) and execution. too many penalties and bad luck were in the mix but the fact that they couldn't mount any sort of drive in the second half, and especially the forth quarter and o.t., was the deal-killer.

I don't know, the defense giving up 15:00+ minutes worth of possession time and 10 points in the first drive of the first half by NY and the first drive of the second half had something to do with it too. It set a tone that they never reversed in either half.

true but we didn't lose 42-20. they only gave up 20 stinking points after being on the field for 40 minutes. any offensive help in the forth quarter would have won the game.

I agree with you Gary-
The Defense played ok considering the amount of time they had to be on the field and poor field position they inherited from the struggling Packer offense.

The thing that worries me is that as long as Al Harris is on the Packers, he will be the #1 corner. He turns 34 next December, and few if any CBs can play at a high level at that age.

We need a CB in the first or second round.

I agree, but you're not guaranteed to get a guy who is ready to play.
