No excuses. They played not to lose instead of being aggressive and therefore, gave the game away. The Packers’ MO is to go very conservative when they get a lead. You could tell that the play calling was going that way when they called three run plays right into the line after the 4th interception with ~5 minutes left. The only thing worse than the play calling was the execution. They acted like there was 30 sec to go instead of 5 minutes. For the life of me I can’t understand “prevent defenses” either.
I don’t remember your name in the group I was addressing. But thanks for the response.
