Packers Melt Under Saint’s Heat

Head coaches and quarterbacks ultimately take the blame for an NFL loss. Unfortunately, Sunday’s Packer starters had a laundry list of volunteers for some of the blame. Coach LeFleur rested his starters for most of the preseason. The Packers had a new defensive coordinator so preseason play by starters to iron out assignments would seem logical. The defense started the game giving up two fifteen play touchdown drives. The defense was beaten on almost every rep of the first half. It was historically bad. Five TD’s by Winston. No sacks. The Saints totaled 171 yards rushing averaging 4.4 yards a carry with a long run of 14 yards by a running back.
