It's an honest question that I don't think there's a clear answer to. Of course fresh after a loss we are all pissed so we will say and feel things we may not feel several days from now after the harsh reality of the loss has worn off. If I had a dollar for every time I felt differently a few days removed from a loss I could buy a nice airbrush system for my RC aircraft.
Knee jerk is to say OUR OL SUCKS PERIOD END OF STORY!!! And while the tape may suggest as much, I am not so sure that's quite the whole truth. Certainly, we can all agree that the lack of chemistry and time to bond is a MAJOR factor in the way they were pushed around, but what was it about the Packers DL that played THAT impressively for the entire game?
Dom Capers? Incredibly aggressive game planning? I can't believe the Packers DL is as good as they looked today. So that tells me it is on our OL. Perhaps it's as simple as the Packers feasting on the Perfect Storm which was an OL that is clearly in transition and starting backups and players not used to each other. Is that all it was or was the Packers DL really THAT good?
