Don't know 'bout studs, but Duds

[mraynrand]

So the D is at fault again? How many defenders dropped in this one? Neal, Shields - am I missing anyone? Still the give up 23 point with an offense that doesn't get a first down for an entire quarter? Solid team loss, really. Needed more people to just make plays. I'm still stunned that Marshmallow Outhouse was on the field. Good Lord!

Why do we lose three starters almost every *ucking game??

[mraynrand]

what was their excuse last year? and the year before

cause ST and defense sucked both those years too

injuries still?

I don't know how you can't look at injuries. Just unreal. Every game it seems three guys bite the dust.

I think that was their excuse. This year has been even worse on the injury front, but we've had lots of them for the past 4 years. In fact, we rank at the top or near the top each year. Some of it is dumb luck, and some of it may be our conservative approach to injuries.

Dud - Clay Matthews. Is the guy ever going to play a full season?

Great seats in sect 110 except for wind tunnel behind me. Only took 1 hour to thaw out. Game start 7 degrees and was 4 at end.

Offense should have been far more productive. Lacy misread a couple of holes again and Starks needs to play more. Rodgers had backups in secondary in man and would not pull trigger multiple times.

Tramontana was all over the place. Hyde including missed int which would have sealed game was not sharp.

Fire him if you want to but capers and his d bailed out horrible o start. Offense did not return favor. Play to Cobb I need zone before fg was an abomination.

Info at stadium is terrible. What happened to shields and Neal?

Stud - run D

Dud - third down offense, third down defense

Run D? I assume you mean other than the QB scrambles. There were also some times when they needed a stop and SF got what they needed by running the ball which was frustrating.

Can the Packers defer home games?

Obviously PB has suffered brain damage from the cold. How the hell can you blame Lacy? Without him this game isn't close.

both suffered knee injuries

shields had someone fall on him and his foot twisted around

neal got cut blocked and took a shot to the knee. didn't look bad, but he know something was wrong right away

This is one of the reasons people stay home. If you get all confused as to what's happening it dramatically worsens the experience. Both had knee issues and were questionable. Based on the mechanism, Shields likely has a break - cheaper to sign him. Neal I did not see. Bacteria, concussion; Mulumba was also hurt for a time, be he returned in time to blow contain on Bush's pass rush.

Can the Packers defer home games?

I just don't think being at home means that much, especially in 1st round. Home teams are 1-3 so far. Let's face it, the teams that make the playoffs know how to win on the road. That's why they're in the playoffs.

[Patler]

There were many, many plays there to be made, and time again players failed to make them.

Yes, Jones failed to make some catches that he could have, so did Nelson, and Lacy dropped a gimme with wide open spaces in front of him. Just as culpable as Jones.

Tramon Williams failed to finish on an interception a series or two before the one he had. It's playoffs, and when a play is there to be made you have to make it. Making one later on does not absolve the earlier failure. Hyde failed late, Burnett was oh so close to an interception on the TD to Davis. Close doesn't matter, when the opportunity is there, you have to take advantage. I think House had one too.

Bakhtiari got into a shouting match with Smith at the end of the 1st half, failed to hurry to the line when they were trying to hurry up, wasting a lot of time to get the play off after a short gain (26 seconds when there was only a minute left.) Then when they finally got the play off, Bakhtiari got his hands in Smith's facemask and was penalized. He needed to keep his cool. Earlier in that drive, Rodgers had to use a timeout when they couldn't get lined up correctly. With those screw-ups, they couldn't get set for good end of drive plays, and they had to settle for a FG. A TD would have been big.

All things you have to do to win playoff games. You aren't going to make all of the plays that are there to be made, but the Packers didn't make enough of them to win.

duds - all the posters who are treating this game like a debacle, when the team lost by 3 points to a far superior team. The San Fran QB had all day to sit back there. The Packer linebackers were all injured, except for iron man Hawk. There were no clever schemes to win this game. Rodgers nearly won it.

Packers played extremely well, with the exception of the offense in the first quarter. Like Patler said, there were a lot of opportunities left on the field, as there usually are in a ver, very close game. Almost Identical to the Giants loss in 2007, except Dawson didn't miss.
