Packers vs. Chiefs: 7 Things We Learned in Green Bay's 19-14 Loss

Well, the Green Bay Packers need to turn their attention from a perfect season to home-field advantage throughout the playoffs now.

After their 19-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the Packers moved to 13-1 on the season. It was an extremely good performance by Green Bay, with the exception of two scoring drives in the second half.

Here are seven things we learned in Green Bay's 19-14 loss to the Chiefs.

This Was the Worst Game of the Season for Green Bay

This was easily the worst game of the year for the Green Bay Packers. It was way more than just the fact that they lost, too.

Offensively, they were unable to move the ball down the field. Defensively, they looked uninspired and sluggish.

It was a hard game to watch, and hopefully, this is only a stumbling block on Green Bay's road to another Super Bowl.

Jermichael Finley Isn't There Yet

Where exactly "there is" is up for discussion, but general consensus before the season started was that Jermichael Finley was going to be one of the better tight ends in the league.

However, he has been way to inconsistent to even be considered one of the better tight ends in the NFC. In the first half alone, Finley had three dropped passes. That has been his M.O. all year. While his second half was a little better, it was still nowhere near being considered dominant.

His 42 receptions, 600 yards and six touchdowns aren't awful numbers, but nowhere near where people expected them to be.

No one can doubt his potential, but Finley still hasn't figured out how to fully utilize his potential.

Bend-Don't-Break Defense Was at Its Fullest on Sunday

To say that the Green Bay Packers got dominated in the first half would be an understatement.

The Kansas City Chiefs had the ball on offense in the first half for 20:33. They had 210 total yards, yet only came away with six points.

If that isn't bending, but not breaking for Green Bay's defense, then I don't know what is. When the defense had their backs to the wall, they buckled down and kept the Packers in the game.

While they ultimately gave up a late touchdown that was the final nail in the coffin, they still played well in clutch situations.

Aaron Roders Is Losing His MVP Lead

Had you told me that Aaron Rodgers wouldn't win the 2011 MVP Award three weeks ago, I would have laughed in your face.

However, after two straight performances where he didn't play his best, Rodgers easily had his worst game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. He didn't look like himself all game long.

He completed under 50 percent of his passes for 235 yards and had one touchdown. With Drew Brees and Tom Brady playing better and better with each week, Rodgers needs to watch out or he will let the MVP Award slip right through his hands.

Greg Jennings Is Missed

No one was quite sure how the Green Bay Packers offense would play without Greg Jennings.

On one hand, we all knew how many other weapons the Packers have on offense. On the other hand, we also know that Jennings is, without a doubt, Aaron Rodgers' top target, and one of the better receivers in the NFL.

While Green Bay's offense finally got it going in the second half, they still never looked as impressive as they had in previous weeks. If Jennings isn't 100 percent for the playoffs, this offense could be in some trouble.

Where Is the Pass Rush?

Seriously, where has the Green Bay Packers pass rush gone?

Last year, they were one of the most ferocious teams in the league at getting after the quarterback. This year, they've been mediocre at best.

I'm not sure if the problem is a specific player or the fact that teams have just figured out how to stop them, but whatever it is, it needs to be fixed quickly.

This is a defense that thrives off creating pressure in opponent's backfields, but they simply weren't able to do it against the Kansas City Chiefs. In fact, they haven't really been able to do it all year long.

Injuries to the Offensive Line Could Be Crippling

With Chad Clifton already injured for the majority of the season, the Green Bay Packers lost Bryan Bulaga and Derek Sherrod on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Those are some major injuries across the offensive line. With the unit already playing rather poorly, these extra injuries could prove to be rather crippling to Green Bay. In fact, the two plays after Sherrod got injured were a run for no gain and a sack.

If Bulaga is out for an extended period of time, Aaron Rodgers could find himself feeling more pressure than ever. It could also cause some major, major issues for the Packers offense in the playoffs.
