PACKERS OUTPACE WEARY GIANTS

Sure it appeared worse on the scoreboard, but Green Bay’s second win over the Giants was more of the same from their Oct. 9th win.

The Packers had full control the first time around as well. They led 17-6 at half and 23-9 with just over six minutes left in the game.

In both meetings the Green Bay offense produced exactly 406 total yards. Even their first down edge was nearly identical (23-16, 23-15).

The only big difference is the Packers abandoned the run faster last week. This time there was less running room and the passes came easy.

The hurry up, spread offense expertly crafted by QB Aaron Rodgers and his multiple receivers is like kryptonite to the bulky Giants defense.

New York’s defense can match force with anyone and has a very sound core.

Yet when forced to add extra defensive backs it allows talent mismatches. Plus their size hurts when forced to rush the passer in rapid fire.

Damon “Big Snacks” Harrison (6’4, 350) can’t push the pocket when gasping for air.

For the record, Atlanta’s offense would’ve exposed them the same as Green Bay.
