Their defense is so much more physical than ours.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Kicking team picks direction in each half. It’s not locked in to a set quarter from the start.

 

For example, I didn’t see the toss but guessing Jags deferred. When they come out of halftime they ask Jacksonville do you want kick or receive. They’ll say receive. Then they’ll ask GB captain, which way do you want to kick.

 

So essentially Jags got to pick if they wanted wind in first or second. Green Bay will get to choose to have wind in third or fourth.

It's really quite alarming how long this has been the stamp of the Packers. Even when their defense hasn't been terrible, it's still not been a really physical one, just one that's gotten enough pressure to make splash plays on defense and get turnovers. Even the championship team wasn't all that physical. They were good, but the best player was a cornerback with a ridiculous knack for forcing turnovers.

3 man rush on 3rd down in the red zone is becoming a Pettine staple

Doing everything you need to do to give away a game you have no business losing.

 

Give up a special teams score? Check

Turnover deep in your own territory? Check

Kick a field goal on a red zone drive? Check

Lose the penalty yardage battle? (Not yet, surprisingly)

Freaky weather x-factor? Check

Tie game late? Check

 

Red alert time on the upset meter

You have the Jacksonville Jaguars and some quarterback off the street called Jake Lastname or something on the other sideline on your field backed up 1st and 20 into a wind and you can't keep them from scoring. That's as bad as it gets.
