Quote Andy Gilder="Andy Gilder"Well, that was embarrassing.
I've said all season that we weren't a 13-3 team by any stretch of the imagination (having Carolina twice and the NFC West on the schedule distorted results IMO) and that our defense was the achilles heel.
We didn't make enough plays when we had the opportunity to do so, and it's definitely an area that needs addressing in free agency.'"
I wouldn't be too down Andy. Whilst you may not think your 13-3 record was a true reflection of your strength neither was Green Bay's 11-5 a true reflection of theirs. They're a very good team on both sides of the ball and the more knowledgeable amongst us have been predicting them as NFC champs since the start of the season
You need a few playmakers, more on defence than offence but you're not a million miles away unlike, say, the Redskins.
Also, had your defenders made plays when they had Rodgers in the grasp several times things might've been different. I'm struggling to recall a more dominant QB display in a playoff game than Rodgers gave to be honest.
