Except all the pressures and sacks came from Tampa LB’s. Tampa plays a 3-4. This was about speed and the ability to drop into coverage and take away the shallow routes and stop the run. Good scheme. This was probably the best defense we see this year. Speed and can close. Look at MVS go route. Sure under throw but no separation

The Packers got punched in the mouth by one of the leagues better defenses. They took a couple haymakers and never got up off the canvas. Plenty of blame to go around. Plenty to watch and learn from.
Losing sucks. Got to get well and get back to winning again. Bucs took some of the Packers’ swagger and they gotta get it back.

Maybe a little kick in the teeth earlier will be enough of an attention getter that they stay focused the rest of the year. The have a reeling Texans team next week. Hopefully they clean things up and lay it on Houston

The narrative just never seems to change. Aaron Rodgers, when he is playing well, which is far more often than not, means the Packers have a great chance at winning.
When Rodgers doesn’t play at his normal high level, the rest of the team just isn’t good enough to pick him up.
The sports sections all over the country will say “Brady beats Rodgers”, but in reality, Brady has very little to do with the win. Their defense won this game. Our line couldn’t protect Rodgers, and when he gets rattled, his level of play isn’t what it normally is. This is when we would normally see a lot more fast developing plays. Yet Rodgers was consistently taking four step drops, and getting smeared-and that was before Bakhtiati got hurt.
We were 13-3 last year, and the places that we needed to improve to have a real strong shot at getting back to the Super Bowl were evident to everybody. We did virtually nothing to shore up our deficiencies. We didn’t add a single impact wide receiver in the draft or FA. The one guy we did sign, Funchess, opted out of the season because of the pandemic. We replaced a decent but not impactful inside linebacker with an athletic, yet incredibly injury prone one, and /shock face, he’s hurt again.
Instead of addressing our porous run defense, our below average wide receiver group, or weak inside linebacker group, we drafted a quarterback that won’t see the field for three years and a running back. At least Dillon is starting to see some play time.
I don’t honestly know how we could have had a worse off season. We did nothing to close the gap between us and the Niners. And now, Rodgers has to win games for us.
I want to be positive about this team. After all, 13-3 and now 4-1 with MLF should be plenty reason for optimism. But we don’t want to win the regular season. We want to bring the Lombardi home.

As far as our offense, the whole story is; "As Rodgers goes, so goes the Packers offense." Simply put, even the running game goes to hell when he's not throwing those surgical passes that carves defenses up. We were in trouble before Bakh was hurt. It just made it worse. In all honesty, Rodgers threw in the towel at half-time. You could see it in his play. He lost confidence in himself, and teammates.
Both teams played a 3-4. What was the difference? Speed, body size, and aggressiveness at the line of scrimmage, and in the pass rush. They ate us up with the pressure on Rodgers.
What was missing most, in the Packers game? The short passing game. The Bucs sat on every short route, and our receivers ran right to the defenders, instead of making adjustments.
They have a lot of things to work on this week.

They played more man then zone early. But the difference to me was how deep White and David dropped into coverage taking away anything underneath. Reminded me somewhat of the old Tampa 2 coverage when Brooks would get those deep drops. You beat that with seam routes and they were there but 12 overshot one to Lewis who might have scored and was late on one to Toynan.

This comes down to not upgrading our deficiencies in the draft.
Run defense is still a leaky sieve. No ILB and DL to help Clark. Imagine what White would do for this D. No #2 WR equals no separation against good defenses.
AR is a big reason we lost though. You cannot throw essentially two pick 6's and win an NFL football game.
