I am either friends of or related to some pretty hardcore GB fans, I remember that game, and I remember the perfect storm of a highly talented Denver squad FINALLY actually doing something with Elway's talent. We couldn't execute with the folks we had on the field, and Denver did.
The job of the offense is to move the ball and score. If you do that, no one cares how you did it. If you lose, the fact that you ran a certain offense won't cushion the blow. I would have been just as happy to have won yesterday with Packer Sweep after Packer Sweep. As is, I'm liking the WCO. I'm liking our dominating defense. Given we're the Super Bowl champs, there isn't a whole lot about our team to dislike save the fact that they aren't your team.

The offense scored 24 points against the best points defense in the NFL.

Again, I'm just saying give credit where it's due, and that's the Packers defence, by a fair margin.

Because he's LOST big games as a direct result of things he actually DID.
