final words on the Rams/Packers game...

final words on the Rams/Packers game:the Rams' team defense came into Lambeau Field being a real tough defense,and honestly,played like advertised... WHAT A DEFENSE... however,no one knew how tough the Packers' team defense was,overall...  true,Todd Gurley did get his 150+ yards rushing,but quarterback Nick Foles threw four interceptions,including one pick in the Packers' end zone,and a 45 yard interception return for touchdown(a pick six),by rookie cornerback Quinten Rollins(Rollins had two interceptions)... another oddity:cornerback Sam Shields did not allow "his man" a reception the ENTIRE game... if the Packers team defense play as well,as they did,against the last four opponents,the rest of the season,the Packers will be tough to beat... honestly,the defensive statistics,except for rushing defense,compare favorably to the Packers' defense,so far,that won Super Bowl XLV... historical note:the Super Bowl XLV team is the only team in NFL history to have an interception returned for a touchdown(a pick six),in every playoff game... honestly,the Packers' defense still face,in the last six games,one AD,(for all day)Adrian Peterson,of the Minnesota Vikings... the last year that the Vikings made the playoffs Peterson ran for close to 500 yards(including the playoffs),against the Packers,when he ran for 2,097 yards... so,folks buckle up... interesting season,so far... note:you may have noticed that i did not talk about the Packers' team offense until now... Aaron Rodgers has a passer rating of close to 118(second in the NFL),and the running attack,has not been good the last two weeks(Eddie Lacy has been injured,and is going to be better),but injuries to the receiving corps(Davante Adams),but the Packers' receiving corps is much deeper than most teams in the NFL,so expect the Packers honestly to be pissed,(and focused) about their offensive woes(if you think a 5-0 team should be pissed right now)... the ENTIRE Packers' team may have a big chip on their collective team shoulders,as the pundits are downplaying the Packers' chances... trivia:when the Packers won Super Bowl XLV,what seed were they going into the playoffs,that year??? answer:a sixth seed... they destroyed everybody,in the playoffs,that year... they also had a top-five defense,that year...
