[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 461059, member: 655"] Well, if you go by the NFL defensive rating you may be barking up the wrong tree. The NFL rates defenses only on yards given up. Which is not really a true test of which D is better. A few years ago Miami had the top passing Defense in the league yet they had a losing season. You can't base a top D on yards alone. The Packers pass D didn't look good last year, part of which is because they gave up so many yards in the 4th quarter to teams trying to catch them. A third of all the passing yards against Green Bay came in the 4th quarter last year. So they gave up a lot of garbage time passing yards. You guys can argue about this all you want, but part of the reason the Packers SOS was down there was the two games against the Vikings. Take the 4 games out against the worst opponents, the Packer 2 against the Vikings, the next two and then compare SOS. You will get a better fell for what the teams SOS was really like. [/QUOTE]
