[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 448972, member: 1198"] As did I. So let me get this straight... you'd trade away a guaranteed change of possession to give the other team a chance to punt the ball and likely give us worse field position or maybe a chance at a first down on a 4th down conversion? Sounds like a VERY bad trade to me. Consider the scenario you just proposed for a moment: Third down and 10 to go... Giants at the 50 yard line. Manning back to throw... He's got Cruz deep down the sideline... INT by Woodson... 10 yard return! Packers ball on their own 30 yard line! But you turn around and tell Coughlin, "You know what? I'd rather have the 3rd down stop. You go ahead and take the ball back. You can just punt and we'll just take our chances with that. Hopefully we don't muff it!" ROFL See how much sense that doesn't make? Why do you think it is that every single week you hear coaches talking about "winning the turnover battle?" It's because the team that wins that USUALLY WINS THE GAME. Last year, it resulted in helping us win 15 of them. Of course, that stat probably doesn't matter to you either. Wins? Turnovers? None of that matters right? The only thing that matters on defense is yards, man! Frank won't answer my question, so maybe you will. Were the Vikings a better defense than we were last year? Look, I never said the defense was good. But there seems to be a contingent here who thinks anyone who dares say the Packers weren't the absolute worst must be saying they were good. The fact of the matter is they were terrible in some aspects and good in others. The worst defense was Tampa Bay, hands down. I would also say our defense was better than Buffalo, Carolina, St. Louis, Minnesota and Indy. Those are the obvious ones. You could also argue we were better than New Orleans too, who was second worst at generating turnovers (right behind Pittsburgh), although they did allow fewer total points than us (but not until the Lions game where most of our starters sat out).
