We ***** about how bad the defense always is in big games and rightfully so, but come on, they forced 2 INT's on back to back possessions just to watch the MVP winner fail to move the chains just once on his own field. They all own this loss

wasn't it 3 ints on back to back to back possessions?  For a grand total of 6 points.  Just brutal

But GB supposedly has an above average OL.  Some say top 5.  Granted Bahktiari being out hurt the options to shift if guys were struggling 

You lost Bakhtiari and were going against a very good defensive line. Vea looked healthy to me. Shaq-Suh-Vea-JPP might not have an A+ superstar, but that's a VERY good front.

Yeah, and they got the TD on the first INT, and then absolutely **** the bed on the next 2. Bucs then drive down the field for a FG to turn a 5 point game into an 8 point game. That was their shot and they blew it

Rob Demovsky  -   Matt LaFleur’s FG was just third attempt in the final 5 minutes of playoff game in which a team is down between 4-8 points in the last 20 seasons.

The others:

2013 divisional round, Saints kick on 4th-and-15 from the 30 down 16-8 with 3:56. It missed and they lost.

2010 wild-card Colts kick on fourth-and-6 from the 14 down 14-0 with 4:41 left. Colts make it, kick another FG with 53 seconds left but Jets win on FG as time expires.

Yeah, that's simply unheard of for Tom ******* Brady, and we couldn't do jack **** with it. That's a slight on AR's performance in big games, though it didn't help that we basically gifted them 7 points with the fumble and another with the blown coverage to end the half.

Ya know.....they lost their two starting Safeties - and I cant say we made them pay because of it. I think most of MVS's yards came on the outside. Was it cover 2 and the Safety came late? Cant say.

He had one nice reception over the middle for like 19-23yds (?) - but that was it.

Yup.  NFCCG you have to capitalize on opportunities.   Drive the field and then sputter in the red zone for 24 and 26 yard FG.   0 for 6 passing in those spots.  The Adam's "drop" was 50 % a poor throw imo.

Agreed.  But they limited the run game and got pressure on Rodgers consistently.  OL played a B- type game.  Needed better in this game.

We went 13-3 last year with Rodgers bumbling around. I refuse to let you revise history to let Rodgers be the damn victim again. 

If we win this game tonight, it's not because Rodgers played perfect or even stellar. Rodgers is one part of a damn team. 

He is a victim.  A victim of playing on a team that doesn't seem to understand defense.  He has played on a team that consistently puts some of the worst special teams in the league out there year after year.

 We make investment after investment on defense and yet when compared to the other good teams,  look slow and soft.    Tampa was by far the better defense on the field today.   Rodgers was consistently under pressure and sacked 5 times.   TB defense caused two fumbles with great hits.  

While Rodgers was far from perfect today, he was easily the best part of what we put on the field.   The TB defense was better,  the TB special teams were better,  The TB OL was better.

Why do you insist on holding Rodgers to a requirement of perfection or fail while excusing the rest?  I've agreed with you all year about Kevin King, but he was flat out terrible today.

Which "drop?"

There were two passes that we too far and took him out of the EZ - and the corner shot was too "low and outside" (so to speak) and would have been a terrific catch if he'd been able to pull it off - but that disconnect.....I put more on the throw than the WR.

For sure, but they were always going to limit the run game. They load the box. They blitz and bring pressure. That's how they play defense. 

We insisted on running it against that box and couldn't win enough with the rest of the game to win.
