Post Game Thoughts- Ravens
Posted by mikemarit on December 13, 2009
The Packers picked up a very helpful win to strengthen their playoff chances against the Ravens, 27-14, on Monday night.
Even though it was a win, it wasn’t a flawless win. The Packers broke their franchise record for most penalty yards in a single game. All year long penalties plagued the Pack, especially in their losses. The penalties were the biggest weakness for the Pack, but their special teams gave up too many big plays to the Ravens.
Besides the penalties and the special teams, the rest of the team looked like they were playing great playoff football. The two things you have to do in order to win in the playoffs is run the ball and create turnovers. The Packers could run the ball with efficiency and they intercepted three of Joe Flacco’s passes.
Like I said before, the Packers should need 10 wins to get into the playoffs so after the victory over the Ravens they only need two more wins out of their final four games. I will look into their final four games in a later post and give my opinion on the Packers chances at getting into the postseason after a one year hiatus.
