Once again the football gods blessed us with a Jordy Nelson injury on that final drive, yet instead of adjusting (doubling Adams) we still let them slice and dice us down the field.

The Packers were without their starting left tackle (Bakhtiari), their starting running back (Montgomery) and several of their defenders were dropping like flies during the game. It seems like every time we play the Packers, they're dealing with serious injuries yet we still find a way to lose. What happens when we have to face them when they're 100% healthy?

How does one team survive so many injuries yet another team collapses when one guy is out (Lee)? Is it all Rodgers or something else?

I saw it right away and could’ve believe we left Adams 1v1 with a rookie. Mind blowing....

Packers have proven that they can survive any injury unless its Rodgers.....that's mostly how it is in this league......Cowboys aren't good enough to survive without Sean Lee. Packers are. It is what it is.

Coaches who have no clue how to exploit weaknesses nor adjust based on what's happening in the game.

Or maybe we could have blitzed and stunted more on a depleted offensive line.

Hey at least we took advantage of both the Giants and Cards missing their very best offensive players.
:thumbup:
Sad that those are our two wins, Z.
