Re: Gameday
sacks - at least 2 seemed to be coverage sacks where kirk hesitated from not liking what he was seeing. they were relatively quick coverage sacks.
imo the packers won this game monday through friday when they game planned us on offense and defense.
packs offense - they took what we gave them and it seemed to be 3rd and 1 many times for them. death by a thousand paper cuts. with culliver out and hall moved to safety, blakcmon/dunbar are easy targets for a guy like Rodgers when there is no pass rush or pressure (1 sack, 3 qb hits). the packers also ran it effectively. doing enough different looks to keep us off balanced (cobb had 5 runs).
packs defense - tip the cap to capers. normally kirk is good at deciding who is primary receiver is pre-snap and, if that doesnt work, he can find his secondary guy. last night, it seemed like cousins wasnt seeing the field and the packers did a great job of getting pressure while rushing 5.
we just got out game-planned. the kirk TD run was the only wrinkle i saw in play calling where he kept it instead of looking bubble left or reed solo right. it seemed like we were trying to beat them on these medium to deep routes every single drop back. by the 4th quarter, the wheels just came off.
mike mccarthy and capers > gruden/mcvay and barry.
its like our guys werent prepared to see what they saw.
