TheDonHD Capers defense thrived on getting turnovers, but as a result of always trying to go for the big play they gave up a lot as well. As soon as those veterans like Collins and Woodson and Shields all left they lost the turnovers but kept the big plays against.

if you can get enough turnovers yards dont matter

The key to that defense was it’s shut down secondary. Tramon Williams, Sam Shields, Charles Woodson, Nick Collins, and Al Harris all made that secondary great. But once Harris retired and Collins got hurt, everything was down hill from there. And it doesn’t help that Dom Caper’s scheme was 20 years old. Don’t believe me? Go watch the 1996 NFC Championship game. The Packers beat Dom Caper’s Panthers and while watching the game, you can tell Caper’s style is eerily similar to the defense he used with the Packers.

They had so much talent on defense but didn’t capitalize.

@@tempest20000 1 there was nothing shutdown about that secondary that secondary was awful the worst in the nfl actually 2nd al harris wasnt a packer by 2011 he had already been let go cause he was injury prone

CodyHGaming id say more like for the past about 8 or 9 years know

@@MrGecko-zs7nf The defense was actually good in the 2010 season. But then went to hell immediately after they won the Super Bowl.

Its cause of the loss of Nick Collins early in the year to a career ending injury and the letting go of Cullen Jenkins in free agency. Those 2 losses really tore the defense apart.

Those three Jordy Nelson catches are as pretty as any he ever made.

Maurice Davis or the defense this season

Still the packers defense has a weakness

Cody_1804 but they’re bad tho

@@ChiefBlue4298 better than the 2011 defense

It was basically the same team...They came off their Superbowl win the season before.....

The last time that Eli was actually good

Andrew Quigley and still is

Andrew Quigley It's possible that the Packers had a rather easy schedule minus the Giants in 2011.

Look at the insane receiving core of 2011. Jennings, Driver, Finley, Nelson, Jones, and Cobb. I'd kill for Rodgers to have that caliber of group to throw to again.

Scooby Carr eh, I could prove that wrong, or you could. Just go to profootballstats and see for yourself the rank defense packers played against each team that season.

Thanks Tricky Dick.

The best wr in history of Green Bay

IKR I'm glad he played he's full career in Green Bay and I'm also glad he won a Superbowl with them too

@@JoseRamos-ew1gq Youre forgetting about Sterling Sharpe and James Lofton

Jordy Nelson was Great too.

He didn’t make them pay in the playoffs that season but they gave him time in the 2017 playoffs and Rodgers killed them with that Hail Mary

And 3 years after this comment that is still true

@Bradley Taft Yeah. We know....

Packers offense*

Jon Snow Ah I see

@@scoobycarr5558 the 2007 giants are like the 2004 red sox equivalent tbh. defeating the undefeated patriots in the super bowl and down 0-3 deficit in the alcs and making it a comeback. what can be more common than that?

@@1990Thunderbolt Thanks for the info

@@scoobycarr5558 (y)

Don't remind me of that world series 😭

Ik it was dog so much yards givin but looking back now it was eli manning throwing and he got a arm I miss these days this is when the NFL was not soft

He is talking about a couple seasons not one

AGK927 It was not his worst season when factoring everything

BigPappy0910 he still is just not as awesome

AGK927 Yeah but he was the only good pass rusher on the team so they could double team or even triple team him. You gotta add context you can’t just say “career high 5 sacks” and that’s it.

Ted Thompson let Cullen Jenkins walk and then lost Nick Collins to a career ending neck injury!

After 2013 or 14 for sure he should of been gone.

Hahaha damn it. He did look like a creep

Wasn't this the year the Giants beat the Packers from the divisional, beat the 49ers in the NFC championship, and beat New England in the Super Bowl?

Yeah. Mike Mcarthy made a huge mistake the last couple of weeks. GB had had Week 15 off and week 16 they played Matt Flynn instead of Rodgers. This means GB had 3 weeks off. They were rusty going into that Divisional Round. And the giants managed to stumble bumble their way past. Don’t believe me about GB’s coaching mistake? Then ask John Elway and the 96 Broncos what happened to them. Mike Shenahan did the same thing. It comes down to GB was the better team, but due to a coaching mistake, that cost them a place in history.

Giants stumble bumble...the Giants beat the shit out of the Packers...37-20. Despite the Packers getting all the calls from the referees. The Giants then validated that victory by winning their next two playoff games...one of which was the Super Bowl.

Trace Chmielewski damn I’ve always wondered why this team underachieved it was a bit before I started watching thanks

Wonder what happened later that year. 🤔

@@Somdeb10 It was painful.

What do you mean? They did win the SB that season.

@@Yorker1998 They lost to the Giants in the Divisional round at home. They won the Super Bowl the season before.

Oh you were talking about the Packers. My bad.

@@Yorker1998 No problem

We saw what happened in the playoffs.

@@justamaninTN 38-13...😆

@@mauricedavis1740 37-20 and won the super bowl…😆

The 5th Dynasty Alliance I will see what I can do

38-13, Packers may of got the last laugh as of now..

Bud, I am a Cowboys fan have been since I was in the 2nd grade, be thankful you’re a Giants fan, at least they’ve given you a championship.

BlueRayFlash Now what would have happened if Eli was much better than brother Peyton? The Giants would have been the NFL's premier dynasty instead of the Patriots. And as a Bears fan I honestly approve of your message as a Giants fan.

Lol

THEHEADNDRO what’s so funny trash can?

Codey Hirai well its a Wisconsin sports channel..

Didnt mean to insult your fandom. He does have one Tennessee game.. Lolol

GiantsFan1734 Thanks For Beating The Patriots Again

But now how are you guys doing?

17. The final score was 37-20.

Alexander Alexander yea if Capers was the defensive coordinator i would definitely agree with you but we got Pettine now one of the best defensive coordinators in the game who's had a top 10 defense everywhere he's been.....

Minh Nguyen Drops + Playoff Eli doesn’t bode well. Even though the refs clearly wanted the Pack to win, the Giants were on a mission that year.

Minh Nguyen simple. The Giants outplayed them. Packers went 15-1 that season their only loss being Kansas City. Everyone counted out the Giants when they made the trip to Lambeau. So the Giants had the mindset to dominate on defense. And that's what they did.

Giants were a good team..so we're the pack..

The reason why Green Bay lost was because of Mike McCarthy. Green Bay lifted Aaron Rodgers half way through the Week 16 game against the Bears to rest him. Then next week, they didn’t start most of the offense (like Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jermichael Finley) to rest them for the playoffs. And this of course meant they were rusty. Green Bay had the best offense in the league that year. But when you don’t play for almost 3 weeks, there is gonna be a problem. And this resulted in the Giants stumble bumbling their way past the packers. Don’t believe me and just say the Giants were better? Ask John Elway and the 1996 Denver Broncos what happened to them when Mike Shanahan did the same thing. Comes down to Green Bay was the better team, but due to a mistake, they lost their place in history as one of the greatest teams of all time. Here’s the proof. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gciDq7Zps7_Oh6M.html

Heart. The Giants had it. The Packers didn't.
