[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 580030"] I took at look at the league opponents passer stats vs. playoff teams from 2011-13 (as I don´t know which teams will make the playoffs this season I didn´t include this year´s stats), expecting to find out the Packers are one of the worst teams in the league over that period. Surprisingly, the Packers defense has performed better than I thought they have, mainly because great QBs play pretty well vs. other teams as well. Here´s what I found out. Stats vs. QBs whose teams made the playoffs in that season: The Packers rank 13th in the league in opponents passer rating at 92.2. Only three teams in the league hold those QBs to a rating of under 80 with the Niners leading the way with a 76.7 rating. In addition the Packers rank 12th in opponents completion percentage, are tied for 16th in TDs allowed (being tied for 27th games played vs. playoff teams) and are tied in 3rd for interceptions (most in average per game). Most importantly though we complain a lot about not being able to beat playoff teams. Well, guess those teams become playoff teams because they don´t lose a lot of games. Actually the Packers possess the league´s 2nd best record vs. playoff teams over the last three seasons at 8-7. [/QUOTE]
