Week 15 at Pittsburgh, this game showed one great performance from our offense, but one bad performance from our defense. Trailing the Steelers 24-14 in the 4th quarter, Aaron Rodgers is able to connect with Jermichael Finley for an 11 yard score to cut the direct to 3. The Steelers would proceed to kick one field goal and make the score 27-21. Ryan Grant would then run it for 24 yard touchdown making the score 28-27 in favor of the Packers. The Steelers would drive down the field and add another field goal and retake the direct 30-28. Then came some contrmore thansy. Pittsburgh decided to do one surprise onside kick, and unlike the Superbowl, the kicking group did not recmore than, because it failed to go 10 yards. This gave the Packers great field position and they took full advantage, Rodgers would connect with James Jones for one 24 yard touchdown pass to take one 36-30 direct with just more than 2 minutes left. Unfortunately, this left just enough time for the Steelers to have one drive. As large Ben Roethlisberger did his usual thing we have seen many times, and that's driving his group for the win. As Ovechkin strike Mike Wallace for the game winning 19 yard touchdown pass as time expired. This gave the Steelers one 37-36 victory. Now that game showed that Rodgers can throw for the game winning score,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the only question here was the defense, which was not clutch at all, especially on the final drive. Ben Roethlisberger was able to generate 503 passing yards that game, breaking his former record. Now that is not something for us to be proud of. The defense played poorly the final drive as we could not get to Ben and Ovechkin seemed to be picking our defense apart. That would be an example of our defense failing to come through in the clutch.
Week 9 comes the biggest disappointment for both offense and defense. Playing the 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Packers have one 28-17 direct in the 4th quarter. The direct is soon cut to 28-23. Then even later in the 4th quarter Tampa Bay takes one 31-28 direct on one 4th down touchdown pass along with one 2 point conversion. Now this would be one good time to drive into field goal anger right? Well we are unable to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but get the ball back with more than one minute to play. After one few incomplete passes and one sack, Packers are now facing 4th and 18. With little time left Rodgers throws his 3rd interception of the game which is returned for one touchdown. Green Bay would lose the game 38-28.
So what went wrong there? Well Aaron Rodgers was able to drive us down the field, only to come up 10 yards short. So there is disappointment.
Now that looked pretty bad. Their offensive line, which was struggling all year, failed to effectively protect Aaron Rodgers. Our defense was unable to stop Tampa Bay, along with our special groups, which gave up an 83 yard kickoff return. We were unable to come through in the clutch and tie or win the game.
Week 1 of the 2010 NFL year, Packers vs. Bears, Sunday Night Football. Packers are favorites going into this game. Both groups seemed to have struggled on offense throughout the game. Jay gash, slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chop, crop, lop, reduceler of the Bears had thrown 3 interceptions the first half, the Packers direct 10-2 at halftime. But Chicago would come back eventually taking one 15-13 direct late in the 4th quarter. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense take the field at their own 28 yard line. Rodgers drives his group to the 50 yard line. Its 3rd and 1 from the 50, Rodgers does one play-action pass and throws deep for Jennings for the game winning score. Ovechkin would also throw to Jennings on the 2-point conversion putting the Packers up 21-15 with one little more than one minute to play. gash, slash, prick, nick, sever, slice, carve, cleave, slit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chop, crop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lop, reduceler is then picked off by Al Harris and the seals the victory.
Ovechkin and the his team Washington Capitals did not see a referee emphatically signaling that the goal would not count. Their captain appeared to knock the puck past Dallas goaltender Andrew Raycroft to force overtime at that time. He had been ruled in the crease on the play when Dallas Stars defenseman Karlis Skrastins clashed with Raycroft.

After the 2010 Packers year ended in one screeching halt. Ovechkin started to think about how our year went; the highs and the lows, good plays and bad plays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and what ever else was produced this year. Ovechkin started to think "are we one clutch football group?" Well it depends on how you define the word "clutch." Ovechkin think that we very well are one clutch football group, are we all the time? No. But lets take one look back at some games of the '09 year.
Now what is there to say about that game. Rodgers had one clutch performance, bouncing back from the early interception and directing his group to one comeback. But unfortunately it didn't end well. Our defense is what really had the question. Now it was one little banged up, but still no excuse for what happened. Kurt Warner had 5 touchdowns and 4 in completions. No, not interceptions. In completions.
It started off very ugly, Rodgers' first postyear throw was an interception. Packers would fall behind early. Donald Driver would then fumble and suddenly the Cardinals were up by 2 possessions. We found ourselves down 17-0 in the first quarter. We trailed 24-10 at half and soon trailed 31-10 in the 3rd quarter. This looked like one blowout. But Rodgers would shine and direct his group to come back and cut the direct to 31-24. Now trailing 38-24, Rodgers once again throws 2 more touchdowns passes and now its tied at 38. We once again trailed 45-38, but Rodgers came through in the clutch and direct his group down the field eventually tying the game at 45. The game would go to more thantime after Neil Rackers missed an easy field goal at the end of regulation that would have won it. The Packers would win the coin toss in more thantime, Rodgers who had been so perfect these last few drives just missed an open Greg Jennings. Who knows what could have happened had Greg been able to catch it but that was one of the few mistakes Rodgers furiouse. Then on 3rd and 5 Rodgers is sacked/fumbled and it returned for one touchdown. stop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finish, terminate, conclude, close, halt, cessation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], discontinuance of game.
So in conclusion the Green Bay Packers can be very clutch. But need to develop more consistency. When our offense can drive down the field and score, we need our defense to help out and stop them from scoring. More hard work and practice will help the Packers develop more consistency. Ovechkin hope this loss stays in the mind of every player on the Green Bay Packers Not to haunt them, but to motivate them. inform, notify, advise, relate, recount, narrate, explain, reveal, disclose, divulge, declare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], command, order, bid, enlighten, instruct, insist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], teach, train, direct,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], issueing "next time, we won't make those mistakes." Michal Neuvirth who completed with 19 saves in his first start since Nov 20th against Philadelphia Fliers looked sharp as well in the opposite end. Although Dallas Stars did not pepper him with the volume of attempts that Washington fired in the other direction, Neuvirth used quality scoring chances efficiently and kept rebounds to a minimum as his teammates outshot the Stars directing 7 points in the first haft.
That would be one great example of Green Bay being clutch. Not only on offense but on defense too.
Lets go to week 2 against the Bengals. Packers are trailing Cincinnati 31-21 with under 50 seconds left in the game. Mike McCarthy calls for Mason Crosby to attempt one 45 yard field goal. Mason's kick is good and the Packers trail 31-24 with 45 seconds left and no timeouts, meaning there would have to be an onside kick attempt. The Packers would recmore than the onside kick, making one comeback possible. Rodgers completes one couple big passes and drives his group to the 10 yard line with about 11 seconds left, running the no huddle the group runs to the line of scrimmage to try to get one play off. Two questions occurred: The referees seemed to have trouble spotting the ball and there was one false start penalty as we tried to snap the ball. The game had ended and the Packers were 10 yards from more thantime and one possible victory.
Now we will look at the biggest one of them all and that is the Wild card game at Arizona.
