Packers Lose to Falcons 44-21 - "Ran Out of Gas!"

I think the quote of the day by Head Coach Mike Mike McCarthy was, "We Ran Out Of Gas!"

Keys to the game?

1 - Crosby missed Field Goal (and the missed holding call on Jordy!)

2 - Ripkowski fumble

Score would have been 10-10, and ho knows!

Now, the realities of the loss!

1 - Packer Defense

2 - Injury Issues

3 - Packer Running Game

4 - Coaching

5 - Players

One must point out again, at 4 wins & 6 losses and winning 8 games in a row, MUST
be recognized!  Coaching & players played as a team and gave Packer fans a thrill!!!

Of course, the ultimate goal, a Super Bowl win!  That did not happen and the past 11 McCarthy years look like this:

2016 - 10 wins & 6 losses - loss to Falcons in NFC Championship
2015 - 10 wins & 6 losses - loss to Cardinals in NFC Divisional
2014 - 12 wins & 4 losses -  loss to Seahawks in NFC Championship
2013 - 8 wins & 7 losses & 1 tie -  loss to 49ers in NFC Wildcard
2012 - 11 wins & 5 losses -  loss to 49ers in NFC Divisional
2011 - 15 wins & 1 losses -  loss to Giants in NFC Divisional
2010 - 10 wins & 6 losses - Super Bowl Champions XLV
2009 - 11 wins & 5 losses -  loss to Cardinals in NFC Wild Card
2008 - 6 wins & 10 losses  No Playoffs
2007 - 13 wins & 3 losses -  loss to Giants in NFC Championship
2006 - 8 wins & 8 losses  No Playoffs

Most coaches and most NFL franchises would love this record!
