Single biggest cause of loss

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think game complexion would have turned completely without dropped passes.

We could have won like in regular season if O rolled

I blame the season ticket holders who sold to Giants fans.

Like in most games, turnovers were the difference

[channtheman]

The dropped passes had started to kill this offense, starting way back against the Buccaneers at home. Our offense since that game was constantly out of sync especially due to the dropped passes. Almost every game started with Finley being targeted 2-3 times from that point. Almost every game he dropped 1 or 2 of those early passes. That set a negative tone and instead of the other receivers picking up the slack, their play turned south and matched Finley's. Turnovers killed us too, but the drops killed drive after drive, and you could see Rodgers started to play like shit too.

I blame most of it on Finley. I am sick of that piece of shit setting such a negative tone for this offense game after game. After he (finally) catches one pass, he always acts like he just won the fucking Super Bowl. I don't want him back in a Packers jersey.

Rodgers could have been a bit more accurate in the second half. The miss to a wide open Finley and the miss to Jennings on the back corner fade are on the quarterback IMO. That's 14 points plus momentum.

But in the end it's the turnovers that killed us. Most teams don't win after turning the ball over 3 times. And really, it should have been a 4th fumble too.

Rodgers having zero contact play for a full 2 weeks.

I don't think that was it at all. Remember, the Packers were the team notable for not having any player organized workout sessions during the lockout. And this offense came out on fire starting on the opening drive of the season. If 5 months of inactivity didn't cause excessive rust in August, 3 weeks of inactivity can't really be to blame here IMO.

Turnovers were the main culprit for this disaster but dropped passes were a close second. I almost voted "other" => this team just wasn't ready to play this game and this we could lay at the feet of the coaches.

I still say the biggest difference in the game today was having MM coach the offense all week because of the horrible death to OC Philbin's son he took over the offense all week and it showed we were disjointed our receivers were not on the same page as Arod our line looked confused at times with the playes being called I really think MM is not a good OC at least in a short range position

Well Packer fans. That was a terrible game to watch. The word that comes to mind is 'UGLY'. I believe that the Packers were beaten right out of the gate. They were again outcoached by Tom Coughlan. They looked better prepared. I do not believe that the Giants had any 'LOSE' in them. Our teams players looked like part of them was somewhere else. They didn't have it on this day. I'll get into specifics later in this post as to what I saw. Not a whole lot to praise. There is something wrong in Packer land folks. I'll ask you all to re-examine the look on Donald Drivers face throughout that game. Why was such an inspirational player of distinction as a Green Bay Packer on the sidelines so damn much?

Why did MM call that ... 'Gee... I want to look really silly onside KO', after the first TD? That was so out to lunch. That couldn't have been too inspirational.

In games where one team loses the TO margin by 'three' the game outcome is 142 to 9 against those teams. The Packer players were numb and out of sync for some reason on this day. They couldn't get into position to make plays on pass's or when the ball was right on the money we saw over the top too many drops. The OL played pretty well, in that game and allowed time for Aaron Rodgers to get it done. Aaron Rodgers missed some throws but overall he played his heart out. He ran for what? Six first downs. For the most part in that game he looked almost on his own page out there and the rest of the cast was somewhere else.

It was so bad in the receiving department that MM even had to stick with our running game. Our running game? Jeeessssh.

Our pass defense sucks so very bad. Our ability to pressure opposing QB's is weak.

In my guts I also felt on this day that what we have been seeing on our team Vs what we know of the Giants could be translated into a very probable Packer loss at home. The bookies were out to lunch at the begining of the week. Giving the Packers a line of 10. It got carved back to about 7.5 as the week progressed with many NFL fans taking that action on the Giants and why not. NY GIANTS PLUS 7.5. Grrreeeeaaat. The GIANTS looked good straight up the way they've been peaking. Eli Manning Vs Aaron Rodgers. An interesting comparison Packer fans. Eli Manning is one cool customer. He's tough too. Their WR's Vs OUR WR's !? Both on a good day very good. On Sunday Jan. 15, 2012. OUR WR's were somewhere else but in that game.

J. Finley. That great Packer TE. Let him go ! Please..... let him go !!

I was so alarmed at what I saw at mid game to sit down and pray. On this day we were simply flat out smoked by a team that wasn't going to leave Lambeau field with a loss. A far better all round football team soundly thumped the Green Bay Packers. The San Francisco 49ers will have their hands full to defeat the Giants next weekend. The NY GIANTS put an end to the Packers suffering.

Seriously Packer fans. Did you expect 'OUR TEAM' to repeat as Super Bowl Champions with the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL? If you did !? I suggest that maybe you re-program your Dreamscape.

Overall our defense is deplorable. OUR secondary coach has to go. I saw way too many fundamentle errors in that game commited by Packer defensive backs that belong on a different team. You cannot expect to pick a QB with the ability of an Eli Manning playing a zone set 'D' and no pressure on the QB.

It's up to our teams GM and coach's to fix that ASAP. I want to add it's high time that Mike McCarthy gets his mug out of the comedy book and into a real playbook ASAP. That onside KO at that stage of the game was one of the most amatuerish plays I've ever seen in BIG GAME Pro sports. I hope he has the decency and common sense to hang his head over that stinko. What a time for a brain fart.

What a sad mess. I feel so bad for Aaron Rodgers. I feel so bad for Donald Driver.

The Green Bay Packers and any serious thoughts that this 2011-12 edition could repeat as Super Bowl Champions.. Reminds me of a movie from the past. That movie was entitled....'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?'.

Super Bowl REPEAT!? From what we've been seeing since about mid season. What was that song by Supertramp? Ohh yea...'DREAMER'. Funny thing Packer fans. Inspite of it all with 4 minutes remaining in that damn game I was still praying.

Next season....GO PACK GO!

I have to disagree, at least in terms of the gameplan MM prepared. Guys were wide open today. There were easy opportunities all over the field today and Green Bay didn't capitalize on them. The mental preparation wasn't there, but I have to think that, on many levels, that falls squarely on the shoulders of the players themselves. MM shouldn't need to motivate anybody for a game like this one. Schematically, he put the Packers in a great position to win. The players lost it. That's my take on it.

Hey Gunakor your half right about that I would say but you would never see a winning team chage there OC going into a playoff gamejust sometimes 1 little thing diferent can mess with the minds of the athelities now adays its not like when the players ran it them selves now most players would not know what to do if the play was not called in anymore I mean right down to the 2 way radios in there helmets its getting ridcules. So yes I really think the change this week could have made for the terible showing players cutting the wrong way or just doing some of the dumbst things i have seen in along time yes thheye were open at times but the ball had to be thrown before theye were ope4n and was thrown to the wrong place a few times also just looked to much like a preseason game.
The Packers will rebound we will still love them tomorrow starts the healing lets see when does preseason open LOL. have a great one Gunakor

Great attitude Packer fan. OUR team had to fall this time around. Too many signs they would. So we still had prayer. We still love OUR team.

If this is truly the reason why Green Bay lost yesterday there's no complaint from me whatsoever. McCarthy and the Packers organization got that one 100% right.

[woodbuck27]

That's not fair. Most playoff teams' OC don't learn of their son drowning in a frozen river the week of the playoff game either. This really isn't a fair statement because, even though the season was on the line, there was something far more important than football Philbin had to attend to. Every other team in the NFL would have handled this situation the same way had it happened to them. And if this is truly the reason why Green Bay lost yesterday there's no complaint from me whatsoever. McCarthy and the Packers organization got that one 100% right.

Yes this is a legitimate factor to consider but there was and there was the potential of so much more to predict failure building and building as OUR season progressed. I mean really. Are there a large percentage of Packer fans that are shocked that in this season's playoffs we were one and out!? How many Packer fans would wager their life that this team WAS A WINNER.... TO GO ALL THE WAY?

GO PACK GO!
