Vikings DE Griffen gets Defensive Player of the Week award

They had achieved the fast start they desired. The Packers last won at Fed Ex Field in 2004. In fact, this will be the seventh straight year for the team to participate in the playoffs. Hearing that, it lets you know that it’s go time. They got knocked out the following season in the divisional round after finishing 15-1 in the regular season.

The loss left the Packers without a win over a division opponent at home for the first time since 1968. That was the first year that Vince Lombardi was off the sidelines.

The Packers offense continued to struggle immensely as well.

“It can really give you the inspiration to work a little bit harder during the week and try to execute a little bit better”, he added. It’s less than the two we’ve kinda been averaging the last 6 or 7 games.

Following the win in Detroit Mike McCarthy made a change. “We haven’t found our identity”.

The next three games wielded the same results that most of the others did. The Vikings were 31st in the National Football League in passing offense at 183 yards per game, and their 454 attempts were 19 fewer than any other team. “I thought the clock ran out, so I didn’t get it called, but I was going to call timeout to make sure we got set up the right way”, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said. The Seahawks finished the season on an 8-2 run, including blowout wins against the Cardinals, Browns, Ravens, and the Vikings themselves.

The Packers had an opportunity to do both things Sunday night. The team reveled in what has been a recently rare win at Green Bay that wrested the NFC North away from the Packers. McCarthy clearly did not feel that way.

The NFC Championship game is when he fell apart, against the Bears.

The tough ending to the regular season for the Green Bay Packers has left fans feeling unsure about postseason success.

Green Bay is only 3-5 SU this season when allowing at least 3.0 sacks in a game. Now we know who they will face. He started the game using double-tight ends and either two backs and a single receiver or one back and two receivers.

When the drive finished it was 10 runs, four passes and three points.

The Packers rank ahead of only the Texans within the playoff field.

They were not committed though. It just won’t be the Packers.

The running game has been inconsistent.

But with Rodgers lacking wide receiver weapons to stretch the field and a suspect offensive line, Cousins may have the bigger day, which will be a boost to Washington. That has been unthinkable in recent years.

Neither offense in this game was able to do much of anything. “I hope that there’s a lot more on the horizon”. Green Bay is 4-1 against the spread in their last five playoff road games, 1-4 against the spread against a team with a winning record, and 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 road games. They were stubborn to a fault.

In the bigger picture, the film indicates that the Packers have lost their identity on offence. Because of that, they also lost the NFC North.
