Packers Personnel Breakdown

Here it is, from Packers-Giants. Interesting philosophical shift from first half to second half by the Packers:

1 RB/1 TE/3 WR (‘11’ personnel): 17 of 48 snaps (7 1st half/9 2nd half/1 OT)
2 RB/2 TE/1 WR (‘22’ personnel): 6 of 48 snaps (4/2/0)
2 RB/0 TE/3 WR (‘20’ personnel): 5 of 48 snaps (4/1/0)
2 RB/1 TE/2 WR (‘21’ personnel): 11 of 48 snaps (4/6/1)
3 RB/1 TE/1 WR (‘31’ personnel): 2 of 48 snaps (2/0/0)
0 RB/0 TE/5 WR (‘00’ personnel): 3 of 48 snaps (2/1/0)
3 RB/0 TE/2 WR (‘30’ personnel): 1 of 48 snaps (1/0/0)
1 RB/0 TE/4 WR (‘10’ personnel): 1 of 48 snaps (1/0/0)
0 RB/1 TE/4 WR (‘01’ personnel): 1 of 48 snaps (0/1/0)
0 RB/2 TE/4 WR (‘02’ personnel): 1 of 48 snaps (0/1/0)

ANALYSIS: For some reason, and I can’t figure it out right now, the Packers closed up shop on substituting in the second half. After varying wildly in the first half with their personnel groupings, they ran 17 of their 23 second-half/overtime snaps out of either ‘11’ or ‘21’. This offense has thrived on running guys on and off the field, and getting matchups in both the passing and running games by doing so. Normally, I’d think that the change-up was to help in pass protection, but the blocking actually seemed to get worse in the second half, and that probably has to do with the three-and-outs. The Packers coaches may just have got tight in a tough spot.

Yea, it only matters up front. GB didn't get it done. NY receivers made the catches. Same as last week when the Dallas receivers didn't.
