GM 15 Packers / browns Xmas day

[DuWayne Steurer]

go nuts

[adambr2]

Savage has been atrocious in just about every way the last two games.

[PinaMadness]

Defense looked completely lost on the screen pass.

[DuWayne Steurer]

sus start by the defense woooof

[adambr2]

Defense is simply not getting the job done lately.

+1..... Really fading down the stretch.

[PinaMadness]

I saw on the Packers thread someone posted the defense is trending down, and I agree. Are we going to get fooled for the second year in a row?

[OldHeidelberg]

Feels like we are back to the defense being a weakness again as we head into the playoffs.

[yourout]

Not sure about this

[nodakfan17]

One of these weeks (probably in the playoffs), we’re going to run into a team that’s all gas, no break and we won’t be able to overcome these slow starts.

[adambr2]

Just imagine how much a coach would have been crucified for going for it on 4th and 1 at your own 34 in the first quarter 10 years ago. Game sure has changed.

[yourout]

Not a good start.

[worm81]

How bout them special teams?

[adambr2]

Anyone on the team who feels like participating today? If they want to take the rest of Christmas Day off, they won't be taking a day off in mid January.

[PinaMadness]

Not a good start.

We've been saying that alot lately. This can't continue into the playoffs.

[OldHeidelberg]

That’s why being aggressive like that makes little sense, you punt 4 plays later and was it worth the risk?

I would guess if it was 4th and 1 or 2 they would have gone for it again. Just not on 4th and 5 with no threat of a run.

[PinaMadness]

Not a good pass by Baker. Thank you very much.

[adambr2]

There we go.

Yeah I know just commenting on the risk/reward of the previous 4th down.

[DuWayne Steurer]

good field position now.... let's do something.

I’m fully expecting another crushing postseason loss. I still watch because Packer football is (mostly) fun and there’s a tiny chance they surprise me.

[DuWayne Steurer]

thought that was the record breaker

[yourout]

Lots of yellow hankies already.

Yes, so am I. I think eventually the injuries are ultimately going to catch up to them. I have serious doubts that Bakh will be back this year, and there's never been any definitive timeline for when Alexander and Z Smith will be back.
