Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is my trusted colleague Wes Hodkowitz.
Speaker 1: We're coming to you here from our studios at lambeau
Speaker 1: Field and West. It's been a few days. I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed your weekend off, but we have to get
Speaker 1: back to the business of reviewing. Unfortunately Thursday Night Football
Speaker 1: from last week in Seattle at Century Link Field and UH.
Speaker 1: As an insider inbox reader put it to me, it
Speaker 1: felt feels like groundhog Day. The Packers in these road
Speaker 1: games against tough teams, tough environments, they give it everything
Speaker 1: they have. They are highly competitive for the vast majority
Speaker 1: of the game. But just for whatever reason, and for
Speaker 1: a number of different reasons, I guess I should say,
Speaker 1: keep coming up short and this was another one of
Speaker 1: the same old story type games. Yeah, and it's frustrating, Mike,
Speaker 1: because it's not like they're getting blown out of the water.
Speaker 1: Absolutely our pre production meeting, I was talking to you
Speaker 1: about some of the games that I watched on Sunday
Speaker 1: because we actually had a Sunday available finally on Sunday
Speaker 1: Night Football for the first time, I think all year,
Speaker 1: and I was watching that Eagles game against the Saints,
Speaker 1: and what crossed my mind as I'm watching that is
Speaker 1: this was New Orleans just outclassing Philadelphia in every aspect
Speaker 1: of the game, offense, defense, special teams, everything. The frustrating
Speaker 1: thing for the Green Bay Packers is they haven't walked
Speaker 1: into a place and just gotten blown out of the water.
Speaker 1: They've had five, i should say, four relatively close losses
Speaker 1: on the road, and again they found themselves in the
Speaker 1: same situation in Seattle. These this is a tough slate.
Speaker 1: You and I have talked about that since the day
Speaker 1: the schedule was released back in the spring. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: knew this was gonna be that this was going to
Speaker 1: be a gauntlet, no doubt. But the reality of the
Speaker 1: NFL's you have sixteen chances, and you have to prove
Speaker 1: yourself every single week, and ultimately, you can take any
Speaker 1: kind of moral victories you want. You can you can
Speaker 1: take any kind of positives away from these games as
Speaker 1: you want. But the Packers have not been able to
Speaker 1: win on the road, and that's the reality they're faced with,
Speaker 1: and it's the reason they're in the position they're at
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I mean, the game couldn't have started
Speaker 1: any better for the Packers. You get the forced fumble
Speaker 1: on the very first play, you recover. A couple of
Speaker 1: plays later, you're in the end zone with a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I know Mason Crosby then missed a field goal on
Speaker 1: the Packers next drive. But then Aaron Rodgers hits the
Speaker 1: big play on the scrambled drill, fires a deep down
Speaker 1: the field Robert Tonyan touchdown. You're up fourteen to three.
Speaker 1: You know in a place that that can be awfully
Speaker 1: difficult to get off to a good start, So you're
Speaker 1: right there. Seattle surges back in the second quarter, gets
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. I talked about that last week.
Speaker 1: You have to withstand the surge, you have to respond
Speaker 1: to it. The Packers responded to it. They fell behind
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen. They drive down before the end of the
Speaker 1: first half and get a touchdown. Touchdown past two. Aaron
Speaker 1: owns on a on a wheel route there out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, so the Packers take the lead back in
Speaker 1: into halftime. Seen but then really West and I know,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that happened in the
Speaker 1: second half of this game, but the Packers had the
Speaker 1: field position in their favor for the vast majority of
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and whether it was a block in
Speaker 1: the back on a nice run by Aaron Jones, whether
Speaker 1: it's a holding penalty on a punt that goes out
Speaker 1: of bounds and costs you ten yards of field position,
Speaker 1: whatever the mistake was. The third quarter was the Packers
Speaker 1: chance to add to the lead, get back to a
Speaker 1: two score lead like you had in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and they just never did it. And then they found
Speaker 1: themselves in a dog fight in the fourth quarter. And and
Speaker 1: and the tough part for the Packers in this is
Speaker 1: that third quarter was really going to be their opportunity
Speaker 1: to try to, you know, kind of put the foot
Speaker 1: on the gas pedal a little bit, put the Seahawks
Speaker 1: behind them. They have to punt, but the defense comes
Speaker 1: right back and gets them a three and out. They
Speaker 1: go three and out offensively, the defense gets them another reno.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, what happened towards the end of that quarter
Speaker 1: is the Packers offense wasn't able to establish in a
Speaker 1: rhythm and you just saw the defense, I mean very
Speaker 1: literally and visibly start to wear down attrition injuries of
Speaker 1: that nature. I mean, I give Mike Petting a lot
Speaker 1: of credit for what they've been put able to put
Speaker 1: on the field the last couple of weeks. You see
Speaker 1: a guy like Kyler Fackrell having a career year, had
Speaker 1: his biggest game of his career and had some very
Speaker 1: meaningful sacks in this But at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: Mike Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels weren't on the field
Speaker 1: for the Packers. You lost Bashad Brelan again to the
Speaker 1: growing injury. They were really worn down in Seattle was
Speaker 1: just able to take advantage of it and offensively when
Speaker 1: you had the time to be able to add some
Speaker 1: cushion to that, they just weren't able to do it.
Speaker 1: And it ends up being the result that it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I thought one play that really swung the balance
Speaker 1: of the game, and I talked about this in the
Speaker 1: Friday Morning Insider inbox, and in my mind, the biggest
Speaker 1: play that was the biggest momentum shift in the game
Speaker 1: was the overturned catch catch non catch down the sideline
Speaker 1: by number eighty three? Is it? David Moore David Moore
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Tony Brown there on defense looks like
Speaker 1: he gets his arm in there and gets the ball out.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks challenge it and they slow it down to
Speaker 1: about his frame by frame as you can get and somehow,
Speaker 1: in my mind, they somehow justified that he had control
Speaker 1: and called it a catch, even though I never saw
Speaker 1: the ball stop moving the whole time. So I don't
Speaker 1: know how they justified that. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: can say that was indisputable evidence. But it was a
Speaker 1: huge play because if it stays incomplete, the Seahawks are
Speaker 1: punting from the back of their own end zone, they
Speaker 1: were on their own six yard line, it would have
Speaker 1: been fourth down. Instead, they get a twenty seven yard
Speaker 1: reception there on the move. They end up going down
Speaker 1: and kicking a field goal to get within and as
Speaker 1: I said, then you know you're you're right up against
Speaker 1: it the whole rest of the fourth quarter. Just uh,
Speaker 1: We've we've seen We've seen so many officiating calls, replay reversals,
Speaker 1: would ever you want to call it, that have gone
Speaker 1: against the Packers, and and other than the Clay Matthews
Speaker 1: roughing the passer in Week two that turned a win
Speaker 1: into a tie, this one, in my mind, was the
Speaker 1: most significant tough break officiating wise of the year for
Speaker 1: the Packers. Yeah, and then and the thing that's difficult
Speaker 1: about that plays it wiped out probably the best punt
Speaker 1: of the year for j K Scott. J K Scott
Speaker 1: just absolutely just killed a down punt at the three
Speaker 1: yard line of six yard punt. Really nice play by him.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if that was the one to
Speaker 1: where there was a low snap, but will be that
Speaker 1: as it may a great place for the Packers to
Speaker 1: be set up. Wise, they got three straight two or
Speaker 1: at least two straight two and three notes before that.
Speaker 1: Now you give Seattle the ball at their own three,
Speaker 1: and you have the defense is going back out there
Speaker 1: looking to do what it does. So after the game,
Speaker 1: I was standing outside the Packers locker room waiting for
Speaker 1: the for us to get let in, and I was
Speaker 1: basically informally surveying all the other Beat reporters about what
Speaker 1: they thought of that more catch. And my issue with
Speaker 1: it is, I'm not going say, Okay, it should have
Speaker 1: been a catcher, it shouldn't have been a catch, but
Speaker 1: it was pretty fifty fifty split and on very different
Speaker 1: sides of the argument. I think this is a problem
Speaker 1: for the NFL. It's a big it's a big prost.
Speaker 1: Still haven't figured this out in terms of you can
Speaker 1: change the language of things. But but you just said
Speaker 1: it west split. How is fifty fifty indisputable? It's not.
Speaker 1: The rule is written. The rule is written, it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be indisputable evidence. And this is my whole problem
Speaker 1: with replay is it seems to me that the league
Speaker 1: is deciding at certain times that the call in the
Speaker 1: field matters and other times the call in the field
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And if you wanted to go to replay
Speaker 1: and you want to say, when it goes to replay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna call what we see, then fine, but then
Speaker 1: you have to write the rule that way. That's not
Speaker 1: the way the rule is written. The rule is written
Speaker 1: with indisputable video evidence, so it has to be indisputable.
Speaker 1: And I just don't see how that rule was correctly
Speaker 1: applied to what was on the film. And that's on
Speaker 1: New York absolutely, because every single throw, every single official
Speaker 1: is going to have a different perspective. The common thread
Speaker 1: through all this is now with the way they're doing
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the New York office. They
Speaker 1: need to get that straightened out. They're supposed to be
Speaker 1: more consistency because it's from the New York office, and
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's just as inconsistent as when you
Speaker 1: had all of the head referees at every stadium making
Speaker 1: their own calls without consulting New York. To me, there's
Speaker 1: there's no more consistency when they've devised a system that
Speaker 1: is supposed to smooth that out. In My biggest issue
Speaker 1: with that particular play is, and you kind of alluded
Speaker 1: to it earlier, this game has played at about a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles per hour. When you slow it
Speaker 1: down frame by frame, guess what happens, Mike. The ball
Speaker 1: stops moving. If you play on your record on your TV,
Speaker 1: on your DVR, the game's gonna stop. So if that's
Speaker 1: the way you're judging it, it's kind of ridiculous. Um.
Speaker 1: That being said, what what bothered me about this too
Speaker 1: is that when that we we talked about that locket
Speaker 1: catch later on, I didn't know, man, I really didn't.
Speaker 1: Sitting up in I know there's yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of talk. Should McCarthy have challenged that he only at
Speaker 1: one time out maybe not based on you and I
Speaker 1: were talking about it, we're looking at the replays in
Speaker 1: the press box. I'm not convinced even though I saw
Speaker 1: the ball move, I'm not convinced that they would have
Speaker 1: that they would have called it incomplete because they all
Speaker 1: they seemed with this new catch rule, and this was
Speaker 1: a point I made on our website, they seem with
Speaker 1: the tweak to the catch rule. This year, they're trying
Speaker 1: to find more ways to call things catches, whereas for
Speaker 1: about five or six or seven years, they were constantly
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to call stuff not a catch.
Speaker 1: And it's like the whole mentality has shifted all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, but the rules and the way the replay
Speaker 1: rules are written have kind of gotten thrown out the window.
Speaker 1: That's why when I saw that play and there's and
Speaker 1: things are moving quickly, they don't have any replays in
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm just thinking, well, which way is the
Speaker 1: wind blowing on this particular place that that that it's
Speaker 1: gonna get officiated. But um be that as it may.
Speaker 1: You got to take care of business. The packers offensively,
Speaker 1: just we're not efficient enough. We've talked about the third downs, Mike,
Speaker 1: you have to be an execute better in that scenario.
Speaker 1: Three for eleven on a on a night you put
Speaker 1: up on a night you put up twenty one points
Speaker 1: in the first half, you have twenty four for the game,
Speaker 1: but you're three for eleven on third down. You you
Speaker 1: left a lot of opportunities on the field. And it's
Speaker 1: the really bittersweet part of this is the Packers have
Speaker 1: had some really phenomenal performances this year. I mean, Davante
Speaker 1: Adams is having one of the best years and could
Speaker 1: very well end up being the best year in franchise
Speaker 1: history for a receiver. Aaron Jones has come on the
Speaker 1: scene now is an every down type player, and you
Speaker 1: look at the Kyler Factras of the world. They're getting
Speaker 1: production from so many of those young guys that they
Speaker 1: needed it from. But it's just not you know, mounting
Speaker 1: up to wins right now. Yeah, I want to get
Speaker 1: back to some of those performances that that you're talking
Speaker 1: about here, But first, the Green Bay Packers get ready
Speaker 1: four game day with the powerful noise canceling technology of
Speaker 1: Bo's Quiet Comfort thirty five headphones. To learn more at
Speaker 1: www dot bos dot com. Slash Packers Bows the official
Speaker 1: headphones of the Green Bay Packers. Well, where do you
Speaker 1: want to start. Davante Adams, Boy, I tell you, I
Speaker 1: mean too deep ball catches in this game. But even
Speaker 1: aside from those, still very productive. Aaron Rodgers looking to
Speaker 1: him finding him, I believe was it ten catches on
Speaker 1: twelve targets in the game, racks up a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six yards If he doesn't get a forearm to
Speaker 1: the face mask by Bobby Wagner on the one down
Speaker 1: the sideline there, he's got a two yard games and
Speaker 1: we're talking about probably a Packer victory in that respect
Speaker 1: as well. But um boy, defenses continue to focus on
Speaker 1: number seventeen and he keeps producing. Yeah, it's funny too
Speaker 1: at that Wagner play. I'm sure Raven Green would like
Speaker 1: a conversation with that sideline official. I mean it's basically
Speaker 1: the same exact place with a little bit less contact
Speaker 1: less less less contact, but basically the same exact scenario
Speaker 1: where the rep is standing. But be that as it may.
Speaker 1: Davontae Adams the impressive thing about him, Mike, I went
Speaker 1: back and watched this game afterwards. In the moment I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there, going they can't defend him, I mean, they
Speaker 1: just whatever combination they worked with and in those to
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and and Joe Wit or excuse me, Joe Philban.
Speaker 1: They moved him around constantly. He's in the slot, he's
Speaker 1: in the boundary, and Davante Adams kept getting open. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had ten catches for hundred sixty six yards. I know. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said he didn't have any qualms this time
Speaker 1: about not feeding him enough. But honestly, Mike, if you
Speaker 1: isolate on him, the guy's basically open every single play,
Speaker 1: and it kind of sounds it kind of seems that way,
Speaker 1: and and defenses are defenses are paying attention personnel wise,
Speaker 1: scheme wise to him. But yet he's he's fine. He's
Speaker 1: such he's such a smart player. He understands defenses, he
Speaker 1: knows he knows where to go to get open. And uh,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean this ten for one sixty six
Speaker 1: was if there's a way to have a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six yards kind of quietly, it's almost it's almost
Speaker 1: like he did that very workman like performance. The thing
Speaker 1: that's impressive about me and we got this is stuff
Speaker 1: that we have to look at once the season's over.
Speaker 1: And I'll step back and won't be in the moment anymore.
Speaker 1: But I've actually thought it a number of turns. Now,
Speaker 1: the Packers had a lot of talented receivers in the
Speaker 1: last ten twelve years. Pound for pound, what Davante Adams
Speaker 1: is doing might be at the top of the list,
Speaker 1: because you know, he has that connection with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: where they don't have to talk. They can just operate
Speaker 1: in the system and know what each other's thinking. But
Speaker 1: you know, he he can do the James Jones thing
Speaker 1: along the sidelines, the stop routes and those type of
Speaker 1: things doesn't really well. He's fast enough to get separation
Speaker 1: on go routes like Jordy Nelson did during his prime,
Speaker 1: and he's also shifty enough with his footwork to be
Speaker 1: a factor in the middle of the field like Randall Cobb.
Speaker 1: He is the complete package. And and this has been
Speaker 1: a narrative here the last two and a half weeks
Speaker 1: about him getting his proper respect. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: who it was, which player it was, Maybe it was Rodgers,
Speaker 1: I can't remember off the top of my head, but
Speaker 1: basically saying, if he keeps doing this, just the league's
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay attention because there's enough fantasy football
Speaker 1: players out there, uh fan wise that are gonna start
Speaker 1: to understand what this guy does. I think you can
Speaker 1: put it up there with anybody right now. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's in an elite class right now, and he's only
Speaker 1: getting better at years old. Yeah. I mean, the only
Speaker 1: reason right now he's not getting the national run or
Speaker 1: the national respect, as you say, as far as the
Speaker 1: media is concerned, is because the Packers are a sub
Speaker 1: five team right now. That's really the only reason. Because
Speaker 1: when you look at the film and you look at
Speaker 1: what defenses are doing, he is getting all the respect
Speaker 1: in the world from opposing teams. Here's the other thing though, too, Mike.
Speaker 1: There's a second part of that, and he's not He's
Speaker 1: a very confident player, but he's not overly boisterous about
Speaker 1: his abilities. He's not in Odell Beckham Jr. Some of
Speaker 1: these guys that are just constantly in the public eye.
Speaker 1: Devantie Adams just goes in every day, does his job
Speaker 1: and goes home. He said it numerous times. He said
Speaker 1: it to me during the off season. I think he
Speaker 1: said it to you when you did a year book story.
Speaker 1: And I'm two years ago He's not in this to
Speaker 1: be a celebrity. He wants to be recognized as a
Speaker 1: top as the top receiver in the game, but he's
Speaker 1: not looking for anything beyond that. So um that that's
Speaker 1: part of it. That plays into that as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well uh um quickly or another piece of sponsored business
Speaker 1: West at Homer Here in the stands. We all know
Speaker 1: that Green Bay fans give it their all and that
Speaker 1: takes a lot of energy. So grab a warm bowl
Speaker 1: of Campbell's Chunky Soup. It's meaty goodness fuels the greatness
Speaker 1: of Packers fans everywhere. Try the delicious classic chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 1: Just visit your local supermarket and ask for Campbell's Chunky
Speaker 1: Soup Official sup partner of the Green Bay Packers. Okay,
Speaker 1: getting back to the fourth quarter here a little bit.
Speaker 1: Packers end up uh maybe the one time that Rogers
Speaker 1: really lamented not being able to connect with Adams. The
Speaker 1: third down in the red zone, Packers end up having
Speaker 1: to settle for a field goal, so they only go
Speaker 1: up instead of possibly going up by eight points. There
Speaker 1: the Seahawks go the other way. They get a touchdown.
Speaker 1: They take the lead for the first time since the
Speaker 1: second quarter and then and then unfortunately the Packers go
Speaker 1: three and out. Rogers, just as he said after the game,
Speaker 1: he had the ball stick to his hand on a
Speaker 1: third and two, just a quick flip to Valdez Scaling
Speaker 1: that would have easily picked up the two yards for
Speaker 1: the first down. The ball goes in the dirt, and
Speaker 1: you know, Rogers is really frustrated. Mike McCarthy decides to
Speaker 1: punt on fourth and two. Tricky decision there, but punts
Speaker 1: the ball back to the Seahawks with four minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Seattle gets two first downs and runs out the clock
Speaker 1: and unfortunately Aaron Rodgers doesn't get another shot um. But
Speaker 1: this Packers defense, I know, they gave up the drive
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they gave up the two first
Speaker 1: downs at the end when we talked about how they
Speaker 1: were so banged up, especially missing the top two run
Speaker 1: stoppers at that point when the Seahawks were gonna just
Speaker 1: try to pound the ball at him. But what a
Speaker 1: game by Kyler Facral number fifty one And I'm telling
Speaker 1: you Wes not just the three sacks that he had,
Speaker 1: which is impressive enough, the second three SAT game of
Speaker 1: the season for him, which is something that has happened
Speaker 1: rather rarely in Packer's history. Yeah, to three sack games
Speaker 1: in one season for a player. But I'm in the
Speaker 1: process right now. Before we came in here and turned
Speaker 1: the cameras on of going through the entire defensive film
Speaker 1: and watching the entire game of Facral and some of
Speaker 1: the stuff he did again the run and when he
Speaker 1: dropped into past coverage and I mean this, this it's
Speaker 1: not it's not just the eight sacks. It's not just
Speaker 1: what's on the stat sheet. Right now with Kyler Facral
Speaker 1: that jumps out you watch the film, he's really he's
Speaker 1: he's developing. I know it's taken a while. There was
Speaker 1: some impatience amongst the fans and everything from a third
Speaker 1: round draft pick, But here in year three and more
Speaker 1: than halfway now through year three, Kyler Factral is becoming
Speaker 1: the the all around, every down outside linebacker. He's he's
Speaker 1: working on all aspects aspects of his game and they're
Speaker 1: all sort of rising up at the same time. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing that has stood out to me all
Speaker 1: year long with him, even before this game, is in
Speaker 1: terms of being able to be accountable in every phase
Speaker 1: of the defense. Claim Matthews mentioned this earlier this season.
Speaker 1: This is more towards I want to say, training camp
Speaker 1: for the end of training camp about how you know,
Speaker 1: the perception of Factral with the fan base, and everybody
Speaker 1: loves Sacks, no question about it. There's a reason why
Speaker 1: von Miller and those type of players Clay Matthews get
Speaker 1: the name wrecking issue they do, getting after the quarterback,
Speaker 1: doing fancy celebrations and getting endorsement deals. But the thing
Speaker 1: you have to understand about fact Roll that a lot
Speaker 1: of his teammates have touched on. He's a trusted member
Speaker 1: of that defense, and he's also athletic enough that he
Speaker 1: can do the zone drop stuff. You've seen them use
Speaker 1: sort of that hybrid four three at times where he
Speaker 1: lines up as a you know, kind of a weak
Speaker 1: side for three outside. There are off the ball outside there,
Speaker 1: there are those type of things that he's been doing
Speaker 1: all along. In What impressed me about this particular game
Speaker 1: is he's doing some of those things against Dwayne Brown
Speaker 1: now as a pass rusher. They're moving him over to
Speaker 1: the other side and taking advantages of mismatches over there,
Speaker 1: just being very multiple with him in a game in
Speaker 1: which they didn't have a lot of depth at that position.
Speaker 1: Without Nick Perry available, you basically have Reggie Gilbert there
Speaker 1: in in a pinch, maybe James Crawford. Otherwise, it's a
Speaker 1: three headed monster with that pass rush, and Fracrol got
Speaker 1: better as the game went on. And the thing I
Speaker 1: really respect about the kid is we are sitting there
Speaker 1: in the postgame locker room. This is an opportunity for
Speaker 1: Facral to be like, you know what I said it
Speaker 1: all along. You guys came in here and asked me
Speaker 1: about the one on one record. You asked me about
Speaker 1: why I'm not making enough plays there they are. Facral
Speaker 1: said none of that. He had the same exact narrative
Speaker 1: that he's been talking about since day one. Trust the
Speaker 1: process has gotten very cliche now, but Facral is really
Speaker 1: a product of that. Outside linebackers, like you're right, some
Speaker 1: of them jump right into the scene and they are
Speaker 1: phenomenal all Pro Pro Bowl type players. Some guys take
Speaker 1: a few years, and we've seen that in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: They've benefited that with that with Eric Walden, Miami gave
Speaker 1: up on him, he ends up in Green Bay, helps
Speaker 1: him win a Super Bowl. Sometimes you just got to
Speaker 1: have patience. Yeah, absolutely, and and to your point about
Speaker 1: what facral talking to reporters after the game, you know
Speaker 1: he was he wasn't all high and mighty about his
Speaker 1: own performance because he's bummed out at the team lost
Speaker 1: the game and that and that the defense unfortunately had
Speaker 1: a couple utdowns there in the in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Because for all the all the controversy and the talk
Speaker 1: about should Mike McCarthy have gone forward on fourth and
Speaker 1: two and blah blah blah, the guys on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball in that locker room are saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: we were on the field in the fourth quarter with
Speaker 1: the lead and with a chance later on to get
Speaker 1: the ball back for our offense, and we didn't come
Speaker 1: through either time. They're frustrated. They're frustrated because they played
Speaker 1: a pretty darn good game in a tough place to
Speaker 1: play for the for the vast majority of it. But
Speaker 1: you know, a short week and the long travel and
Speaker 1: all that, you knew at some point the tank was
Speaker 1: gonna hit empty. And what was compounded by that, like
Speaker 1: we talked about, is the the the injuries that the
Speaker 1: Packers were, you know, shuffling guys in and out, and
Speaker 1: and you know, some key guys that just simply weren't
Speaker 1: on the field down the stretch when they really needed.
Speaker 1: I mean, Abrahim Campbell ended up playing in the secondary
Speaker 1: in this game. He's been there for what ten days? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Tony Brown was ended up with a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of snaps at cornerback because of the injury to Breland.
Speaker 1: The defensive line ended that game with basically Land Tyler
Speaker 1: Land cast from on Trevious Adams and Dean Lowery. That
Speaker 1: was it, Like if they wanted to go base, that's
Speaker 1: all they had left. So we got to see where
Speaker 1: things are at this week with it, but a tough
Speaker 1: situation to being I really would be interested to see
Speaker 1: how that game plays out. If you do have Kenny
Speaker 1: Clark and Mike Daniels, they're late. Unfortunately the Packers didn't
Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, I didn't have that, but well we
Speaker 1: will call it a wrap on the position of Packers unscripted.
Speaker 1: Get onto some more topics as the week continues, but
Speaker 1: be sure to follow all of our coverage of the
