For ex: Pack has the ball at their own 40. 3rd and 9. If the ball is incomplete, they punt. Maybe they pin the other team back inside the 5. Maybe the other team gets it on the 20. Scenario 2: Rodgers takes a nine yard sack. Now you're punting the ball from the 31. There's going to be a return. Maybe the other team gets it to their own 40, maybe to your 40, maybe all the way. Rodgers doesn't manage the game well. And, his mistakes change the game so much. More than the average fan realizes. These sacks create opportunities for the opponent both on defense, offense and special teams. It's the subtle differences between winning and losing.</blockquote>
