Agreed...I think 2 or 3 times, but he also put them in position to win games late, but 1) Crosby missed GW winner in Minny 2) Houston went 97 yards in one minute plus to kick GW, 3) Bears drove the field to force OT and hit GW after Crosby missed GW at end of reg, 4) Tenn OT game loss and there are more defensive implosions, but this is top of head. This stat below sums up GB season. I think Rodgers will convert a few of what you talk about next year, but they have to get better defensively.
In counting 419 points, Green Bay was not far from the 435 points it got last year. McCarthy’s team scored 48 touchdowns in both instances.
The difference lies in the number of points given up. Last year, the Packers allowed 291. This year, the total ballooned to 380, tied for fifth most in team history.
