Overall, I thought the Packers played very well on a road game against the only undefeated team in the league. Coming into the game, I suspected the Titans would win convincingly by 10+ points.
So often, the main difference between a winning team and a losing team lies in the small, but vital, execution of basic details.
Here are some mistakes, I think were crucial factors in the Packers' loss:
1. On several plays, Jennings and Rodgers appeared to have communication problems. For one play, Rodgers threw to the sideline where he thought Jennings was supposed to be but Jennings had taken his route upfield.
On another play around the Titan's 5 yard line, Rodgers was looking for Jennings to go on a route to the corner in the end zone. Instead of even looking for a pass, Jennings was blocking the cornerback. Somehow, he didn't know he was the primary receiver for that play.
2. Ryan Grant still has terrible hands in catching a screen pass. At least twice, he dropped two short passes that hit him in the hands. The Packers should not have to limit their screen passes to Brandon Jackson. Grant needs to be able to catch as well.
3. The Packers' secondary dropped at least 3 sure interceptions. We have seen previous interceptions this season which turned games around to victories. At least one interception, like the one that Bigby dropped, would have been a huge turnaround.
