To give some credit (wherever exactly it is due, I'm not 100% sure) we have generally adjusted fairly well, and have often been able to fight our way back into games (To be fair though, I do think there is some debate regarding the context for these comebacks and whether or not we made it close against the same defenses that had previously stymied us, if you know what I mean). I've lost count of the times where there's been what should be a "big" game and it's felt like we've came out flat, undisciplined, unprepared and end up in a big hole early. Yeah, it's great that you don't just roll over and die, but continually starting games that way just isn't a recipe for success.In six games against Philly, Minnesota, and Detroit this season, we were outscored 102-39 in the first half. Heading into the fourth quarter of these games, the combined score had us down 150-73. Only two of those six were one-score games heading into 4Q. I mean, take a really generic description of yesterday's game: "The Packers make early mistakes and dig themselves into a hole. They fight back and make it interesting - competitive even - but ultimately can't overcome their mistakes and get out of their own way and end up losing." How many more games of ours could you affix that same description to?</blockquote>
