I and some others have had discussions on defenses getting tired when the offense doesnt have long drives.
Watching Rodgers pc right now, he stated
They were gased-when they have a multiple play drive, then we went 3 and outs, WE didnt give them a whole lot of a break, it shifts into the offenses favor. They were gased.
I said this during the Frisco playoff loss in Frisco a few years ago.. I made comments that if the offense doest have long drives it wears on the defense. Others IIRC thought the def still should be up to the task even if they are tired. I will look for the thread in question
We now have Rodgers stating exactly my point..
Def does need time to recover specially when the heat is bad.
