commentary...

now for some criticism of the Packers,the 520 passing yards,to the Lions' Matthew Stafford,given up by the team,was a team record,breaking the 503 passing yards,given up to Ben Roethlisberger,during a 37-36 loss,to the Steelers,in Pittsburgh,two years ago... a rare oddity,even though the Packers are 15-1,their defense gave up more overall yards,than the offense gained throughout the sixteen games,of this season... the major difference between a 15-1 team and an average team,is the quick strike ability of the Packers' offense,and the simple fact is that the Packers took away the football with regularity(leading the NFL,in interceptions,and second in NFL,in total takeaways),and most of their yards given by the defense were in mop up mode,in fourth quarter,or in between the 20's,and they were tight in the red zone(20 yards on in to goal line)in giving up points,except for field goals,and then giving up points early(and yards,of course),they buckled down on their opponents,giving few points,in the second,and third period(example:the Rams,Raiders,Lions(Thanksgiving Day),and Buccaneers,all scored early,and scored few points,in those two quarters,and were behind,in the fourth quarter,and then chasing the Packers' offense,to run the clock out on the game)... Packers are the best overall team,going into the playoffs,record wise,but they can be beaten,and yet,when healthy,they are the team to beat,and resting the injured Packers,the first round bye,and the Frozen Tundra should help them out in their playoff run... come to Green Bay,NFL teams... welcome to the Frozen Tundra!!!!!!!!!!
