Zero2Cool;199569I wonder if the mistakes get corrected and they destroy the Raiders next Sunday.


I hope we find a defensive scheme that performs better that today's effort...Our d had more holes in it than a catholic girls school!!

I heard the comments, but they got twisted. Do you know where I can hear/read them for myself?

Wow, why the Finley hate?

I'm pretty disappointed with his drops; he is better than that. He has to be better than that. Outside of one of the drops (a bullet from Rodgers as Finley was just break out of his route), none of the drops were difficult catches.

But hating Finley? When Greg himself had some glaring drops too? As well as Cobb. And Crabtree. And Kuhn (although arguably it was a tough catch).

Frankly, we need to catch the ball better. But you make it sound like Finley cost us the game. Most clearly, seeing as we got a win, he did not. And guess what: the Giants game planned in a very similar manner to the Chargers' and Bucs' game plans. To beat those coverages, you need to have your stud TE be able to work the middle, to not only make big plays but also create space for his teammates. Be upset - Finley deserves it - but I just don't get the borderline hate. Tell him to STFU/tone down his whole "no one can stop me" swagger, but really the hate for him seems much considering our offense as a whole was not clicking.

But props to our team. The Giants had a lot to play for, especially coming off the loss they did. We weathered the storm, and came out winners. Says an awful lot about this team.

Jermichal and Greg don't have their best games, but both made clutch catches at times, Defense playing without Hawk and Bishop then Woody goes out.

Packers playing on the road at one of the toughest venues in the league, and yet they somehow found a way to pull out the victory!!!!!

Champions find a way guys!!!!
What a game, games like these will only help when playoff time comes!!!

I prefer to look at all the positives, and not dwell on the negatives!!!

12-0
BRING ON THE RAIDERS!!!!!!

Um, not sure any defensive scheme can cover the loss of your best two LBs, best playmaking CB, and best Safety. We're without Bishop and Hawk, lose Woodson after the hit, and don't have Collins. You're second best corner is a 2nd year player who is still learning the ins and outs of being a CB.

Frankly, some of the plays the Giants made you give them mad props for. Nicks is a beast, and clearly beat Tramon. Cruz is pretty damn impressive, and beat Bush badly. The other team's players made some plays; they get paid to do that too.

Some plays we can definitely improve upon. The Beckum TD was atrocious. But you have to realize with Charlie Peprah at S in coverage and a young S in Burnett who is still a rookie.... we're going to get beat. We can play better, and some of the big plays could be made more manageable, but really going forward this is what you will get with this group. It simply is not talented / disruptive enough to mask the fact that outside of our top 3 DBs (Tramon, Charles, Collins) we're a very inexperienced group with players that lack elite physical talent (Peprah) or are simply too raw (Burnett / Shields).

On a slightly related note... did anyone even see Mike Neal out there do a thing? I mean did he even play the game? That is a serious question. He was invisible, if he did play.

Agreed, it's nice to have
DC who can at do it with smoke and mirrors at least to some degree when necessary.
Bob Sanders was abysmal.

zombieslayer;199538The Packers win the SB this year.
The Championship Game is closer than the Super Bowl.

I'm not sure about our last 2 regular season games though.
We may lose one of them as we're gonna be more concerned with going into the Playoffs healthy than winning either of them (we'll have home field advantage locked up by then).


Yeah, with Cutler and Forte out, I'm not super worried about the Bears on Christmas, but the Lions are gonna have Suh back and I have a feeling they're gonna be pissed. We'll see how that goes.

I agree with the injury side of this but we have the same dline as last year less Jenkins who we insulted without a offer during last seasons title run and we give up over 5 yards a rush??....The defense has played sub par all year even when healthy. I think we will see a load of defensive help drafted this off season.

And you don't think the Packers are going to be pissed that Suh stomped on one of their own? Lions have nothing to be pissed about, they were the ones who played dirty. If anything, the pissed approach is coming from the Packers.

FUCK THE LIONS!
