If ding dongs on the radio are going to say this team don't need no stinkin' defense, then they ought to be complaining about the offense not being able to keep up with SD's.
    Keep in mind that the pick sixes and onside kick essentially each took a possession away from the offense, The Packer possession results were:

    TD
    Downs
    TD
    FG
    TD
    TD
    Then the end of game drives to use up the clock resulted in two punts.

    They scored 4 TDs and a FG on their first six possessions. Scoring on 5 of 6 possessions before the closing drives is plenty good.

    The Chargers possessions were:
    TD
    int
    int
    TD
    FG
    end of half
    TD
    punt
    TD
    TD
    punt
    int

      I think that Grant and Starks are an excellent combo to have, and as has been mentioned before sometimes one gets shut downso we turn to the other. Running back by committee is in vogue right now, and I see no reason why us utilizing it is a bad idea. Long term the backs are healthier for the playoffs, and it keeps the defence from keying in as much. Our O uses multiple looks very effectively, and two backs with two skill sets lends itself to various looks. I look forward to Green healing up and showing us what he can do, And then we can argue about which of the three backs is the best.

        Grant had the kidney bruise or whatever it was that he's been nursing for a couple weeks now, so that might have something to do with it.

          Had our DB's not selfishly taken valuable possessions away from our offense AR puts up more than 31 points. In fact, he probably scores TD's on those two possessions, making the score 45-38 anyways. Oh, and then there's less time on the clock, so SD probably doesn't score all 38 of their points.

          Final score without the pick sixes: Green Bay 45, San Diego 31. By taking 2 INT's to the house, T-Will and Peprah cost us 7 in point differential. I hope they're happy.

            SD's offense only scored a net 24 pts, plus one additional turnover, and they had about four extra possessions. No comparison.

              I have always thought they should fall down at the 1 yard line so the offense can get some work in, bleed the clock if need be and let the defense rest.

                But seriously, didn't Aaron say after the game we didn't have many possessions in the first half? It isn't easy to get into any sort of rhythm when you're sitting on the sidelines.

                  Clearly the coaches made the necessary halftime adjustment. Peprah brought the last interception back 76 yards, but didn't take it in for the score. Good practice for interceptions in future weeks!

                    All joking aside, was any one else yelling "GET DOWN YOU IDIOT!!!". I made my 2 yr old daughter cry. I am a bad man.

                      Same exclamation here. At least the Packers haven't adopted Clay Matthew Jr.'s favorite turnover recovery play: the lateral to a teammate while surrounded.

                        Grant used to be more of bruiser, if memory serves me. I doubt pack will bring him back next year.

                        Can't decide whether Starks is slow to the hole, or patient with his blockers. Sort of a fine line, like the difference between being voluptuous and fat. What I know for sure is he is good after he gets a little steam.
                        I think you are just throwing this out there as wild speculation hoping that you can bring it up later and show how smart you are. Anyone who thinks that Grant won't be with this team next year is clearly crazy.

                            They are going to pay Grant starter money so he can be the third best back on the roster?

                            I would guess a majority of packer sports writers don't expect Grant to be back. I've heard this speculation from a couple.

                            I expect TT will draft a back next spring.

                              The switch on players' desire to score circuitry is a difficult one to turn off.
