What kind of take is this??? They weren't really good the entire game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stand alone among people who watched that game if you think otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't let the offense completely off the hook for the Q4 implosion. A couple plays from the offense in Q4 wins the game just as easily as a couple from the defense. Neither side was up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 2 minutes ago, StatKing said: I think they should be able to complete atleast one pass and get a single first down. Not really high expectations. Not that I disagree with it, but we're going to ignore that we had 42 minutes of "good" defense by the Packers (at least by their standards) before just crumbling under pressure. How do you explain the fact that the Falcons went for it on 4th down more than they punted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the guy who was reluctant to replace the worst ST coach in the league a couple years back. This is the big question in my mind about LaFleur. Its called "Head Coach" for a reason, which means he is responsible for all coaches hired. Barry is sub-optimal at best but I guess LaFleur is willing to go down with him at the helm of the defense.

If we had scored in 4th Q instead of 3rd and still ended up with 24 I feel the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have that stance regarding TOP when you have the lead. A 5 minute drive with no points is still very valuable, 3 and out multiple times is unacceptable.

I can't give the offense a free pass on that. I get that they'll have their ups and downs, but the Q4 offense certainly played a part in how this potential win was flipped to a loss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
