[QUOTE="slaughter25, post: 394171, member: 3912"] Tom Silverstein put together a very good piece disecting some of the shortfalls of this 6-0 team. It is interesting to hear the coaches opinions on some of the weaknesses we as fans have been making note of through 6 games this season. The one GIANT glaring weakness we have right now that drives me up a wall week after week is how inept our special teams have been and how the guy in charge of making them better keeps his job after years of being in the proverbial "cellar" in just about all important ST categories. This was posted at the bottom of his article and should give some statistical foundations for any discussions [SIZE=4][B][B][COLOR=#444444]FAR FROM PERFECT[/COLOR][/B][/B][/SIZE] The Packers are the NFL's only undefeated team, but to say they're doing everything right would be an overstatement. Here are areas in which they definitely could improve (NFL rank in parentheses): [B]OFFENSE[/B] Rushing yards per game 98.5 (24) Rushing yards per attempt 3.8 (27) [B]SPECIAL TEAMS[/B] Punt return average 5.5 (29) Net punting average 30.4 (31) Opp. punt return average 21.3 (31) Opp. average drive start 21.7(17) [B]DEFENSE[/B] Yards allowed per play 6.1 (26) Pass yards allowed/ game 299.7 (30) Pass yards allowed/ play 8.0 (23) Yards allowed, first down 6.4 (26) Passes 20 yards+ allowed 28 (31) Passing TDs allowed 10 (T23) Here is a link to the rest of his article : [URL]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/undefeated-packers-have-imperfections-to-fix-132028948.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
