[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1053105, member: 10086"] Really all good points. I try to error on being cautious about changing the outcome because sometimes opponents force us to make mistakes. Yet here we truly just played lousy. We couldn’t get the snap off correctly. We couldn’t even get to the point where we fumbled a snap because we’d jump offsides! Totally agree. Something I would like to offer. It’s very normal for a team to either Win or Lose in the first week and it be totally out of character. The Bengals started 0-3 as one example and I didn’t need to look out of teams who played today. Even Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers both had seasons where they lost to the Saints 3-38. Only to go deep playoff bound or win a SB. Week 1 is a terrible way to evaluate a team for long term. Might as well be Preseason. The Eagles essentially Won similar to our Lions game on a FG with :27 sec left. Had we had a minute left? 50/50 GB wins that game. Everyone acts like that first loss was an indictment on our future for a decade. Totally blown out of proportion. GB led for 37.5 minutes of 60 minutes and had Narveson not did his usual 43 yard miss to close 3rd qtr GB would’ve led for 57 of 60 minutes until :27 sec left in that game. With any normal Kicker we lose 32-31 on a walk off FG. Against what we all 100% know now is a legit #1 seed. Don’t let the experts fool you. If you are going to judge strength or rankings? HOW you win and lose makes a big difference. HUGE difference. The Packers lost 2 of 4 losses by the skin of our teeth. Another loss (MN Week 4) caught us severely wounded in what was Week 2 for our starting QB and with 3 weeks off and a leg brace. That’s not an ideal evaluation imo and anyone using that game as supporting evidence just doesn’t follow the sport closely at all. [/QUOTE]
