Even with several, imo, bad ref calls going against your team, they still notched the W. Good luck the rest of the way. On the Packer side, am very disappointed. I never get down when the team plays well and is defeated. But... 8 drops and three (really, four) fumbles? Most of those drops had little to do with the defenders-- rather, just a loss of concentration on the Packer part. And all of the fumbles, except for Rodgers perhaps, were not due to a bone-crushing blows. It just just running into a routine/solid tackler and not protecting the ball. In both (non-Rodgers) cases, Grant and Kuhn only had one hand on the ball, despite seeing the tackler coming and knowing a hit is about to occur. Inexcusable. In summary, the defense played it's usual horrible level. No surprises here. They suck. Only player that showed up, as usual was Matthews. A few spotty good efforts by a few others, but otherwise unremarkable. A key moment for me was watching Hawk, our MILB, get knocked over by a Giant wide receiver who merely stuck his arm out.  The Giant (Manningham?) was already blocking another Packer and saw Hawk run around towards the ball carrier.  He stuck out his arm and knocked Hawk completely off his feet.  Wow.  Packers defenders had a cinderella season in 2010-- that is becoming clear. 2009 and 2011 are probably actually reflective of their skill level. (and maybe of our defense coaching staff?) But, the offense really played uncharacteristically sloppy. This is not meant to slight the Giants-- they played well and did what they had to to disrupt the Packers game and earn the win. But, in my opinion, the Giant D-line was not the key factor on doing this- as many thought would occur. The defensive backs surprisingly played very well (Aaron had plenty of time all game long-- but simply did not have open targets) and our receivers played like crap when they did get open. Too bad for GB. I really thought this was going to be an even battle to the end (most of us did). Never expected our "playmakers" (except Rodgers, who played well) to simply not show up. Oh, well. Into a long off season. Dang. I hate the off season.</blockquote>
