[QUOTE="Fuzznuts, post: 204838, member: 832"] Figures that you would post your sarcastic nonsense...PIB Way to contribute to the forum... :thumbsup: The point of this post was who was to blame for the loss? I think bad play calling, bad defensive execution, and a bad running game are more to blame then just trying to pin it all on one player.... But of course, you do have your own agenda now, don't you? Or are the complexities of football and that it's a team sport beyond your grasp/comprehension? This isn't Madden, you know... :lol: For the last time..THIS is why the Packers lost the game... (But of course, I'll expect another snotty post from you because you can not admit that anyone else should share any of the blame for this game, except FAVRE) This was a TEAM LOSS, not one I can put on any one player. I think its safe to say we did not play well. The Giants came in and made it a priority to stop the run and make us a one trick pony. It worked. Our offensive line was not able to open holes early and their linebackers were very disapplined and gave Grant no cutback lanes. Early on, we burnt them a few times on passing plays incorporating play action run fakes as their safeties came up to defend it. But as the game went on and they saw they didn't need to help out their front seven stop the run, their safeties stopped biting on the play action and stayed back. Unfortunately, the label "finesse" might well apply to our run blocking. We are not a smash mouth run blocking football team and until we can fix that we will have trouble running the ball in games like this. Their defensive backs also played much closer to the line of scrimmage than they did against Dallas, bumping our receivers alot and taking away alot of the short stuff on the passing game. Our offensive line did pass block well. Farve had more time than I thought he would have but the Giants did a very good job of filling their rush lanes so that Favre couldn't step through and pass the oncoming lineman to gain a good line of sight to our receivers which is one of Brett's true strengths. On top of that Brett became impatient in the second half when I think he sensed he had to make a play because the offense was sputtering and the defense was tiring. This was simply, a great defensive gameplan by the Giants defensive coordinator and we did not do well against it. I trust McCarthy (gameplan) and Thompson (obtaining players) will note our this big area of need (improved run blocking) and do something about it. I won't go into the defense here, but they too contributed mightily to this loss. The Giants were the better team on this day...period...and yet we STILL almost won this game. That in itself is very surprising. They dominated us and yet we still had our chances at the end All things considering, Brett did about as much as a man could.
