The Green Bay Packers lost their Week 9 contest with the Indianapolis Colts to drop to 4-4.

In this game, there were tons of areas which helped lead to the eventual defeat, and no unit should be spared criticism for their overall dismal showing.

The offense was slow to find any rhythm until it was too late for their scoring to make a difference.

The defense, while holding up admirably for multiple stretches, couldn’t make the plays when needed at the end to give their offense one last chance to steal away a game they should never have had a shot in based on their beginning performance.

The special teams? In short , it was not good.

Let’s look into why.
