Bottom line is the defense played well but didn't make a couple game changing plays on the gimme INTs Purdy threw them....and then when it mattered most it felt like the Dline ran out of gas with the pass rush.
And, Love/the offense played terribly in the 4th quarter besides the big Jones run - some of it is conservative playcalling, but he was throwing behind receivers in the middle of the field and that last INT was a brutal decision. Tough conditions to throw the ball in, no doubt - but the decisions just have to be better, too.
Yeah, kicker's gotta make 40 yard field goals and that sucks, too - but the Packers had multiple opportunities to go up two scores in both halves of football and couldn't find a way to make those plays against a team that wasn't just going to hand it to them. young team playing on the road an all, and next season looks much more promising than it did back in October....but it also stings losing a game which they should have won. This game felt a bit like a more tempered version of the NFC Championship game loss at Seattle - can't capitalize early and take a big lead, then offense whithers a bit when they could have salted the game away in the 4th quarter.
