Post game Chat with Cleft Crusty (Divisional loss to NYG 2012) this is the thread!

[Cleft Crusty]

Hi Folks,

Clefty here! Sorry I've been missing much of the season, but some of those coma-inducing drugs have long lifetimes in the bloodstream. If you want to know why the Packers got owned - again - by the Giants, drop Cleft a line. I may not be able to answer your questions, but I can rub salt in the wounds. I might be able to stay conscious for up to two hours, so fire away.

Clefty never drinks to forget losses. Clefty couldn't care less about the Packers. I'm an objective reporter. I would recommend some nebutol, but not too much. I want you to live.

Why did it take so long for a team to figure out how to stop the Packers passing offense? Lots of turnovers by non factor players, Grant, and Kuhn.

How does Thompson go about filling the glearing holes on this team?

How do you feel about your team's execution?

Clefty is puzzled by this, so instead of definitive answers, I'll give you some possible reasons:

1) Offenses run on routine, and losing Jennings was a huge disruption to the routine.
2) Two weeks off with key players shifting disrupts timing of an offense. Being on a roll counts. If McCarthy ever doubted that, he now knows what it means
3) The Packer offense stopped itself - as you pointed out with all the errors

Thompson will rebuild using the draft as always

It's not my team. But it surprised Crusty that the defense came out and played a good second half and the offense collapsed.

That was your cue to go all John McKay on us.

I understand you wanted me to use the line "I'm in favor of it" but Cleft couldn't care less about whether the Packer win or lose. I'm a reporter who gets paid $1.57/hour + tips to cover the Packers and report to you know-nothings. I care more about whether I can dominate my wussie son-in-law in game of pick up basketball. The real question is why fans care about whether some overpaid assholes win or lose. It's a mystery to Clefty.

I think it was 8. The Giant's third-string D-backs caught balls better than the Green Bay Packers Wide receivers. That's a sign of difference in preparation and intensity. The Packers got totally owned by the Giants and McCarthy was totally outcoached. The one positive sign was that the Packer defense showed up in the second half.

I'm all for it.
