[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 697155"] The Packers defense needs to create turnovers otherwise the unit struggles mightily. It's essential for the front seven to pressure opposing quarterbacks as the secondary isn't able to cover receivers with the passer having time to throw the ball. While the defense performed better in the red zone vs. the Vikings it has struggled on that area all season long as well ranking 30th in points per red zone possession at 5.40. The Packers are one of only 10 teams in the league that hasn't lost a game in which they were up by at least nine points at some point. It's ridiculous to suggest the Packers should have continued to run the ball vs. the Vikings as it was pretty obvious Minnesota put an emphasis on stopping it and Montgomery and Michael averaged only 2.1 yards on 13 attempts while the passing offense was on fire. There will be opportunities to run the ball against other teams going forward as they will scheme differently but it for sure wasn't the way to go against the Vikings. Minnesota's cornerbacks ignored the gameplan through the first play of the third series (NFL Media analyzed it) with the Packers scoring obly seven of their 38 points during that span. Unfortunately the Packers are ranked 13th out of 14 teams still in the running for the playoffs in opponents passer rating, dead last in passing touchdowns allowed as well as tied in 12th in points allowed. There's absolutely no chance the Packers make a successful playoff run without getting constant pressure on opposing quarterbacks as well as timely turnovers. [/QUOTE]
