Coach Talk

GB Packers (JP)
Wow, that 49ers secondary didn't stand a chance! 25 completions on 31 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Aaron Rodgers. We know the GM of GB Packers (JP) has to be thankful for that attention to detail.
New York Giants
Recording only zero catches on two targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for New York Giants should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
