I don't think people are giving enough credit to the packers defense honestly for the game last week (while at the same time, I believe giving too much credit to their offense and just glossing over the fact that Jordan Love was bad in crunchtime). Green Bay's defense played lights out, they deserve some credit.
I don't think love actually had a very good game. I think both defenses played much better than the credit they've been given, the narrative has been "the offenses didn't play well" when it really should of been "the defenses did a good job".
packers d line got a ton of pressure and hit him quite a few times to disrupt his pass, which some of them were wide open for big gains, but was negated cause he was hit while throwing.
our defense was great in the red zone, stopped them on fourth down - withoit that we def lose. It's just unfortunate guys slipped (most of everything love completed was cause someone slipped), the big run, and the penalties. Stuff that I think was partially the weather and partially not playing ball for nearly 3 weeks.
Well I think it's both. Defenses played well on both sides, but the offenses were both very sloppy because of the weather and just general miscues. Brock straight up chucked the ball to the chest of a couple Green Bay defenders. That's on the offense, not a good play by the defense. Packers d-line did an exceptional job on our running game for most of the night though.
