News Now: Three exaggerated reactions to the Packers’ triumph.

GREEN BAY, Wisconsin: The Giants humiliated the Green Bay Packers. The Buccaneers had embarrassed them. The Panthers nearly humiliated them. Green Bay defeated Carolina 33-30 on Sunday to get away from there. Not only did it boost their chances of making the playoffs, but it also ensured one more crucial game. Jordan Love and this incredibly gifted collection of young players will eventually be in the playoffs. They will be better prepared for the big game thanks to their big-game experiences

These are the Three Overreactions for this week. 1. LAFLEUR FRIVING AMID THE CATASTROPHIE After the Bucs’ defeat the previous week, head coach Matt LaFleur had good reason to fire Joe Barry, but he chose to retain the troubled defensive coordinator. Why? Who knows? LaFleur frequently claims that this is a results-based .

Kirk Cousins may now urge the Vikings coaches to allow him to play the Packers the next week, even if it means using a cane. For the chance to play Green Bay in the championship game, Josh McCown­, Cade McNown, and every other unsuccessful Bears quarterback from the previous few decades may get into a brawl outside Soldier Field. On Sunday, Green Bay had a rather optimistic first half, but over the last 30 minutes, they were completely demolished. The Packers were more or less saved by the bell than they actually won the game. The Panthers scored 30 points, their first 20-point total in four games. They scored four touchdowns after failing to reach the end zone in the previous two weekends. This goes beyond Sundays alone.

This goes beyond the defensive meltdown on Sunday. Of all things, the coin flip proved to be a disaster. LaFleur had three captains, but cornerback Jaire Alexander, who had been out for six games, wasn’t one of them. Regardless, he headed outside for the first coin toss. Alexander remarked, “I don’t think Coach knew I was from Charlotte.” Yes, of course he knew and was indifferent.
