They (Fox) were pulling our game broadcasts in the middle of the 3rd Quarter because we were blowing teams out. I’ve never seen that before or since. For me this year is such an anomoly. So one of the common 2 most arguments concerning GB is 1. We haven’t beat an elite team 2. The Elite Teams we’ve lost to by several points were only because it was “garbage time”. I have to agree with #1. I do not agree with #2.  I say that because while we did get behind substantially in several contests2A.We scored at will once we pushed the ball downfield more assertively. 2B. We actually led the Eagles for 38 minutes and had we made our FG we would’ve led for 55+ minutes of that game. 2C. During our most recent loss at Detroit 30-33, while we were down 7-17 Halftime it never felt like we were out of that game. We also immediately took the lead at 11:30 in the 3rd Quarter 21-17, so that “garbage points” theory for elite competition doesn’t hold in either game.</blockquote>
