it's the NFL and shit happens. This is why you cannot draw conclusions off of a small stretch of games. Everything can change in one week.

The GB fans have been ripping McCarthy and the OC much more than NY'ers going after Schotty. 12-page transcript post-game call-in and 1/2 the questions were on the OC.
This ... every game in the nfl is so separate from each other, one game has nothing to do with the other ..
How the fuck did Dan Connoly return a kick for 75 yards? How the fuck have I been drunk for 13 hours? Why the fuck am I awake right now. Who the fuck are you. Where the fuck am I.
Green Bay's got a high powered offense and Flynn executed it well. They run a lot of 4 WR sets and killed the patriots with short passes to their backs, predominantly Kuhn. The running game for the Pack was really good too, no one expected that.
Here's my theory: The Patriots were getting way too much attention and Beelzicheck knew he had the division wrapped up so he fed the defense crappy plays to give them some humility. And the Pats still pulled out the win.
McCarthy had a brilliant gameplan drawn up for this one. It all came down to time of possession. Offensively, the Packers ran the ball VERY well. But more importantly, they didn't shy away from throwing just because Rodgers was out. With the exceptions of the pick-six and the game-ending drive, Flynn did about as well as could be hoped for your starting QB. Their ability to convert on 3rd downs and sustain drives was key. The Patriots ended up with the ball for less than 20:00 of the entire game. That's good execution. Defensively, Green Bay did a nice job of clogging up running lanes and getting pressure on Brady. Belichick, IMO, put too much emphasis on stopping Matthews, which opened things up for other guys. They did a decent job in coverage, but the Patriots got just enough there to help them win. Belichick looked pissed after the game... he knows this one was almost on him. McCarthy coached circles around him and if the Packers had one more timeout at the end, this could have ended very differently.
We asked 100 People top 5 answers on the board, "How Does GB Have 27 Pts on NE with a backup QB ?" MarcoV "Better OC !" Better OC...... Survey SAID!......... BING!!! {Better OC? - 62} That is the #1 answer! Do you want to pass or Play?
Go ask Packers fans if they would trade our shitty OC for their shitty OC. I bet you they would make a shrine to Schotty they hate how their offense is run so much.
Patriots were down to 3 active Dline then 2, Spikes was suspended so it helped the run game. Critical (bogus) penalty calls that sustained drives. Onside kicks, run backs, pick 6's, unknown backup,........ Crazy game. The key is one team makes some plays, another doesn't.
