Julio Jones was a beast. Most ever yards given up by a Packer's D to a wideout, which is concerning.

NFL Week #14
- Thread starter mrpackerguy
- Start date
If the Packers defensive play in the second half of last night's game is how things will be going forward, it will once again be a short post season for the green and gold.
What's wrong with your secondary? The Steelers secondary is mostly a joke at this point. Troy is out there playing, but he really shouldn't be. They picked up some thug who thinks the NFL is about being obnoxious and hurting people.

"Defense wins championships"
The Pack had a very good defense when they won SB 45. Very porous since then with early post-season exits yearly.
Right, but I was asking what's wrong with it? Lose too many guys to free agency, injuries, retirements, lack of actual skills, getting old?
For Pittsburgh, it's a few of those. Old, injuries, free agency, lack of skill.
It's odd how some guy like me is sitting behind my keyboard at work today questioning the skill level of NFL players who probably have more skill in their pocket than I ever had in my life.

Doh! I really blew that prediction.
With the Pack D playing like that and the Seahawks D back in top form, it looks like the 'Hawks have a decent chance through the playoffs.
That said, if the 'Hawks don't win it all again, then I hope the Packers do. I think that the rampant enthusiasm of the Packers fans is infectious and helps make them a very likeable team.
A combination of things. Inexperience (2 second years guys, two 3rd year guys, a rookie) and Tramon Williams not getting any younger. I'm not impressed with the scheme either. They play man, and guys get open. They play more zone and guys find the open spots. They play a high cover two, and guys run like crazy over them.Right, but I was asking what's wrong with it?
