Are the Packers really not as good as last year? (1 Viewer)

Everywhere you look , you see the narrative that the packer just layed down for the saints. I watch the game a few times. I just down see it. The saints out played them plan and simple. Playing bad means sloppy football. I didn't see sloppy football. I saw the saints capitalize on their strengths and force the Packers into playing the game the Saints wanted.

The Saints have showed the last couple of years they can put a game on the back of the defense and come out ahead against some very good teams.
We did it to Seattle and Bears in 2019
We did it to Tampa and last year.

Not saying they will do it every week but give credit where credit it due. The Saints had an awesome game plan and executed almost perfect. If the team continues to execute we will do great this year.

Let just hope we can shake this injury bug.

What difference does it make?

Are the Packers not good this year? They weren't last week, but that's as far as you can go. Whatever the Packers' circumstances were - and there is locker room drama going on - it was an enjoyable game for Saints fans and the Saints are 1-0.

Every season is different. It's still too early to determine what teams are good.

This Packers homer posted a piece giving the Saints mad props. Points out with examples of how the Saints took away Rogers/LeFleur's/Adams/Adams bread and butter offensive plays and stayed two step ahead of the Packers' offense at every turn.

The Pack got outplayed and outcoached plain and simple.

Probably not as good last year. Rodgers has already checked out of GB. I don’t think he’s not trying on purpose, but he doesn’t have that same fire in him for team success as in years past IMO.

Whether they are less talented remains to be seen but one things for sure, the Saints staff coached circles around them. And our talent is less in doubt than theirs is as well.
