It’s a natural process that many football fans follow when an issue with their team surfaces — blame the players for failing to execute and if the problem continues, blame the coach. The Packers’ dismal special teams performance on Sunday night led cheeseheads to progress to the latter after a series of blunders made life difficult in the first half, and dramatic at the end of the game. The debate on what — or who — is to blame is alive more than ever: preparation or execution?
