[QUOTE="FredR, post: 637252, member: 11413"] Packers are in serious trouble! Going into the season everyone knew the Packers achilles heel was their defense. But - the defense is tied for 6th in scoring defense (the most important defensive statistic) and the defense has allowed 18, 17 and 17 points in their last three games. This despite the offensive struggles and the defense on the field way too long. Two of the Packers last three games have been losses - why - the offense has scored 16 (loss), 30 (win) and 13 (loss) points. A team quarterbacked by Aaron Rodgers cannot score!!!!!!!!!! And only the Vikings had a winning record in the last three games. Not being able to score against Detroit and Chicago is very disconcerting as these teams do not have power house defenses. Some observations: Even before the first loss to Denver, the offense has been struggling - struggling to run the ball and struggling to complete passes. The loss of Jordy Nelson has been much bigger than anyone thought. The reason - speed. The remaining Packer receivers are (relatively) slow. This in itself is not necessarily crippling but as Denver has showed - these receivers cannot break past a tough man-on-man tight coverage. Any quarterback - including Rogers - is going to have a difficult time completing passes to receivers who are not get open on a consistent basis. And this is with Rogers being an outstanding quarterback for buying time and accuracy. Packers do have a couple of wide receivers with speed (Ty Montgomery and Jared Abbrederis) but both are missing significant time due to injury. Their other speed receiver Jeff Janis (2nd yr player) still isn't consistent enough to have Roger's confidence. Also their tight end Richard Rogers has not yet demonstrated any consistent or clutch receiving. Add to this the inconsistent running game and you have a team that struggles to put together long consistent scoring drives. A team that averaged 30 points a game last year. A team that if they could have hung on to the ball on a on-side kick would have gone to the Super Bowl. Packers are at Detroit next Thursday night. Based upon these two teams performances Thursday, who is more likely to win next week? Dark times in Packerland right now. [/QUOTE]
