BTW, the defense wasn't the problem today. When you give up 19 points, you expect to win. It was the offense, particularly Finley and the OL.
The defense also was at fault, big time.
Kyle Orton, who had only played a few plays as a member of this team, and who had been disposed of like trash by 2 prior teams, was
23/31 for 299 yards and no interceptions.
He was sacked zero times.
He converted
EIGHTEEN (18) first downs with completions.
They had
438 net yards.They averaged 6.3 yards per play.
Remember, this is Kyle Orton we're talking about, and he was missing the Chiefs best player Jammal Charles. Also, their best (or 2nd) best player on defense, Eric Berry, is out for the year as well.
It was very windy out there, for Rodgers and Crosby.
But Kyle Orton carved us up, and kept our offense from getting the ball back, and in better field position.
The defense is at fault today as much as the offense. Plus if the defense had just 3 & outted them on the last drive, we'd have gotten the ball back with about 1:30 to go and might have stolen the win. But they simply could not contain.... Jackie Battle.
