The Green Bay Packers were more impressive than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in every relevant stat on Sunday, they just did not score enough points.
On the daily Locked On Packers podcast, Peter Bukowski dove into why the loss for the Packers hurt so much.
Bukowski: The reason this is so disheartening for a lot of fans, the reason this is so disheartening for a ton of players, is they thought they were going to win. We thought they were going to win. This is not last year where the 49ers were clearly the better team. This is not 2014 even when the Seahawks had already dump trucked them once, had been the best team all season and Green Bay went in a played well enough to win for most of the game and then lost in heartbreaking fashion. Even in that game, we all knew the Seahawks were better.
No, the Packers out-gained the Buccaneers, out possessed them, out first downed them, and they won the turnover battle, and they still lost. That is what makes this difficult. The Packers, coming in, were the better team, they were favored, they were at home and they did, theoretically, enough to win and the did not win. Because in the second half they did not get a stop at the end of the game. If that defensive pass interference call is not made, the Packers get the ball back with 1:48 left and a timeout and a chance to go win the football game. That is for sure.
