One Big Positive

[ejthedj]

There's really only one I can think of...

The Defense played great! Against a team that averaged a lot of points and 400 yards, they basically held them to ten (since the refs and the offense gave the other 7)

And all of that with an inept offense that kept the defense on the field for like 2 1/2 quarters. Most defenses would wear down and we kept bringing it.

We actually lowered our NFC leading pts/game despite the worst call in the history of the NFL leading to 7 free points

D should have gotten that Rodgers fumble too if not for a ticky tack penalty.

They were good, I do agree. Especially since they were so much holding against them, and the refs usually ignored it.

They were on the field for 2/3 of the game. Great job by those guys.

This team never seems to get both sides of the ball to click at the same time. Maybe it has something to do with having 2 head coaches.

Bump for a little shred of sanity in this morass of idiocy

 

[Yeagermeister]

They were turrible on 3rd down the whole game.

 

[Doomsay]

They played really well despite being gassed. Big falloff when Jenkins went down, you could hear Troy salivating at the opportunity it presented, hope he recovers quickly.

The bobbeh zone!

I agree with ur assesment about the two head coaches. Thats why I can't believe everyone wants to blame Wade for the offensive woes of this team. Garrett can't sustain the ground game to save his life. 8th ranked rushing offense and we rush only 11 times I think

 

[SharutoX]

They were good until mike jenkins got hurt.

Bingo...

3rd and 11
3rd and 13

They played great, but when they had to step up and make a stop, they couldn't. Great defenses make those plays.

A great defense is a great defense regardless of the situation.They lost the TOP battle by a wide margin,but great defenses should take over a game and make plays.Bottom line is that Dallas has a good defernse but not a great one,until they can create more turnovers and even produce some defensive touchdowns.

3-4-GB 23 (1:16) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers sacked at GB 15 for -8 yards (32-O.Scandrick). FUMBLES (32-O.Scandrick), RECOVERED by DAL-32-O.Scandrick at GB 15. PENALTY on DAL-21-M.Jenkins, Illegal Use of Hands, 5 yards, enforced at GB 23 - No Play Penalty was a killer.

3-12-GB 21 (6:07) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers pass short right to 32-B.Jackson to GB 35 for 14 yards (41-T.Newman

3-11-GB 34 (4:08) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers pass short right to 85-G.Jennings to GB 48 for 14 yards (41-T.Newman).

3-13-GB 45 (2:10) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers pass short middle to 86-D.Lee to DAL 38 for 17 yards (25-P.Watkins).


If a person goes backs and looks at other games they will see that this team allows to many third and long conversions or is flagged for a penalty that negates a stop or turnover.

They were exhausted, on the road, and the offense couldn't get a first down to save their life. Wasn't the defenses fault.

With that said, our offense has carried our defense 99% of the time. So, I'm not going to get used to these types of performances from that side of the ball.

I agree. Offense going 3 and out as they were put a lot on the defense. Pack had the ball 35:58 to 24:02.

Actually, that Jenkins call was awful and robbed the defense of 7 points. So, D gave up 10 and scored 7 barring awful, awful calls despite being on the field 2/3rds of the game, playing a very good offense, on the road, and being held on every play. I'd say they played great, no doubts

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yep, I like defense, so the way most people feel today is the way I feel after a 41-37 loss.
