The Fox broadcasting crew, as always, was terrible.
They had a sideline reporting girl for this game, and where was she? Worthless. She didn't report this:
-Brandon Chillar injured himself early in the game on our kickoff following the Crosby FG. He met the return guy head on, and imagine that: our guy was hurt. He came away holding his arm, hand..... I told my mom at the time: Watch, that will turn out to be serious.
Sure enough, I noticed him in street clothes late in the game when they showed Sam Shields going to the sideline following the bullschit penalty they called on him for the stiffarm to the face. We see stiffarms to the face ALL THE TIME, and they never call it on the ball carrier. NEVER. But they chose to there.
Anyway, Chillar is finesse... he gets hurt all the time. He doesn't cover well. He's not a thumper. He needs to be replaced, although our special teams may have suffered after that with him out.
-Desmond Bishop was 100% to blame on the wide open Tony Gonzalez TD. It was his little window to cover, but Bishop inexplicably chose to run to his right 3 steps to follow the FB, even though we already had a DB over there. He vacated his window and it was the easiest TD throw Matt Ryan will ever have down there.
-The White Wall (our offensive line) is softer than a gay poodle's ****** in a puppy brothel.
How many times do these guys fail on 3rd & 1 to blow their guy off the line of scrimmage? So many times. So many that we usually have to pass in those situations, which is pathetic, or we run QB sneaks or draws. That's unacceptable.
Early in the game, Dimitri Nance blew his chance. The blocking wasn't good, but he should have scored on that 3rd & 1 down there, and he found the meat of the tackler. Then we chose to kick the FG.
So did Rodgers on his first QB sneak the following drive.... before the one that he fumbled. He went quick, tried to trick the defense. But LG Daryn Colledge didn't execute his block strong enough, and Rodgers went to the wrong crease. That should have scored on that play, and it wouldn't have gotten to the next play that he fumbled.
Our tackling was soft..... on 3rd & about 15 in the 2nd half, they dumped it off to the FB Snelling. Woodson had him wide open for about a 4 yard game, but he chose to girl-up instead of man-up, diving low at his ankles. He missed. Then Peprah game in and did the same thing... had he tackled him there, it would have been a punt at about 4th & 9. Instead, he got it close enough to let Atlanta go for it at 4th & 2. And they got it. And they eventually scored the big touchdown.
Those were flatout missed tackles on a slow Snelling, because our guys were scared and whimpy. Zombo did it too later on on Snelling on another 3rd & long. It was soft, wimpy tackling. Zombo's a big guy, there's no excuse for that. Peprah, I thought, was a strong guy, good tackler.
In games like this, all those little plays usually prove big in the end. There's not much that separates good teams like that.
Inches.... mental toughness, missed tackles. Fumbles early in the game.
I was very proud of how clutch Rodgers was on the final drive. Even though we lost, he proved clutch there. That's big.
However, his early fumble proved enough to kill us. Just like his early Int last playoff game at Arizona. He can't give the ball away like that, give points away.
We had TWO 11-play/80+ yard drives in that first half, and came away with 3 & 0 points. You can't do that. You need touchdowns.
We're good. As good as any team in the NFL in my opinion. But we're soft.
