[QUOTE="sschind, post: 1023579, member: 10247"] At that point I really had no doubt. Despite what I said before the game I felt very confident after their first TD of the second half that they had the game in the bag. Holding them to a field goal then coming back with the TD pretty much cemented it for me. I knew at some point they would pull the starters and go into a prevent mode. Pretty much every team does it and many do it with less than a 32 point lead. The way I looked at it they needed 8 scores not 4. It was a 4 possession game but they had to score twice with each possession. Had they been up 28 then I would say 4 because extra points are automatic:whistling: but they not only needed 4 TDs but 4 2 point conversions as well. I just didn't think they could pull it off. Granted they got 4 of those scores a bit quicker than I would have liked but I just didn't feel they were going to give the game away at any point once they went up by 32. As someone else pointed out we all would have been right POed if Love would have gotten hurt on a sack or Jones tore and ACL trying to get another first down when we were up by 32 points. As far as being aggressive and and keeping your foot on the gas they did just that on offense with the pass attempt to Kraft. If I am not mistaken he was wide open on the play and would have likely gotten the first down easily. That is being aggressive. I don't particularly like that he put the starters back in because I think it was unnecessary and I'm not sure it sends a good message to the backups but hey, at least he went for the kill shot. Defensively in that situation you look to not give up the big play and they didn't. If I have any complaint about the defense at all it is that they seemed to give up the sideline too easily and stop the clock. Give them the middle of the field and keep the clock running. A couple of tackles inbounds and this isn't even a talking point. I have zero issues with the way the game ended. A guy I work with says the goal should be to score 100 points every game while holding your opponents to none. I disagree, the goal should be to outscore your opponents by at least 1 point. Ideally you want to look good doing it and the Packers did. They looked great. While blowouts are nice they are not an absolute necessity.
