ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
The vicious cycle of Green Bay weakness... sacks lead to punts, punts lead to field position problems, and field position problems lead to Tampa Bay's first win of 2009.

Can't read the article but…
— That's not a cycle!
— Giving up an 83-yard kickoff return and a TD on a blocked punt, while throwing three picks, also leads to defeat. But hey, sacks are more fun to write about.
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
If only the article specifically said the blocked punt was the biggest play of the game and the 3-1 turnover ratio was the big factor!
Wait, it did. Try reading it?
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
So what you're saying is that we should pay our money to people who can't even get the introduction to their own piece correct? I've heard better arguments.
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
"Green Bay gives up sacks at AN historically high rate."
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
That's never made any sense to me. No one says "an historically" when speaking. The 'h' is not silent. So why the an?
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
Mostly it's a British thing, I think. When they say historically the h really is silent, so an is correct. Many Americans do it because they learned to in school, which is kinda sad.
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
Or it's because the "h" doesn't really count as much of a letter. It some languages it's just a breathing mark even. So the the "n" will still show up as if the next word began with a vowel.
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
Sack, punt, give up field position, defense runs out of gas after 45 minutes, rinse, repeat. 2008 blends into 2009, yellow flies, but hey, they are one of the youngest teams in the NFL...
Is Rodgers settling into habits of a Bledsoe-like proportion? Will receives ever be open enough for him to throw to? Will McCarthy ever "get his house in order"? Can the o-line hold for just one drop back?
Actually I have much more good to mention about the team, this didn't seem like the thread to bring that up.
Re: ESPN AGS: Bucs over Packers
Back when I was 12, someone told me: "the offensive line is the most important part of any team". Watching the '09 Packers 18 years later - it finally makes sense.
