I could easily see someone getting the Packers in the playoffs if the defense doesn't improve. This is pretty awful.

 

It was a 45-24 at one point. The defense took the foot off the gas again and they are in trouble again for doing it.

This has to be the worst defense an 8-0 team has ever had. I'll happily take the win, but I have no idea what happened to our defense from last year.

 

Losing your all world safety certainly doesn't help. Matthews is not at 100 percent and I think they miss Cullen Jenkins more then they thought. I also believe they really take their foot off the gas at times. They did it last year against the Bears in the NFC Title game. They did it against the Saints. They did it against the Vikings 2 weeks ago and they did it today. They were up 45-24 with 10 min left. Is this defense as good as last year? No, not even close. But when your QB is playing at another level your defense doesn't have to be elite like it was last year. Also, Capers has always had more success in the 2nd half of the season compared to the 1st half. Am I worried about it? Yes. Am I panicking yet? No.

It concerns me. One off day by Rodgers in the playoffs and that's the season with the way the defense is going right now.

Who would have thought that a Jason Campbell injury would torpedo our season?

 

The defense is still terrible - which I was worried about coming into the year - but the offense isn't good enough to make up for it.

The Colts have had some below average ones over the years.

Yep, that about sums it up. Hopefully getting Mike Neal back in a few weeks improves our pass rush somewhat.

The other 3 1st place teams in your division lost too. Don't worry about it this week.
