A number of Packers players were not pleased with the way the Atlanta Falcons played Sunday according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Several players complained of hits after the whistle and low blocks late. "It’s unnecessary,†defensive end Ryan Pickett said. “They call it playing physical. But it’s after the whistle. It’s not physical. We know it watching tape that you they like to hit after the whistle. You have to watching yourself around the piles. They point at you if you react. We just felt like if we just punch them upfront at the start it would end that. It’s frustrating to a point, but we know we have to dominate them upfront inbetween that stuff.†LB A.J. Hawk said that his reaction that led to an unnecessary roughness penalty came when he got pushed in the back after the whistle. He said he turned around to confront the offender and “the guy went to the ground.†“I’m not that strong,†Hawk said. “I wish I was strong enough to do that.†Source: The Red Zone
