[QUOTE="weeds, post: 840337, member: 39"] But NOW...we have the results of pre-season Game #4 to further bolster our previously unsupported opinions. Frankly, when I say I'm bolstering my preseason predictions, I'm LITERALLY tossing my preseason predictions in a bolster somewhere. Pack defense gave up 25 points per game finishing 22nd out of 32... 400 points... that is the worst in the North Division. HOWEVER, if we need something to hang our defensive helmets on, the Pack finished 18th in total yardage yielded. Some would argue this is an important stat in that excessive yardage yielded leads to the 400 points referred to prior. Fair enough. Pack defense in 2018 finished 12th in yardage yielded via the pass. Good thing? Sure... except that 12th of 32 teams was STILL the worst in the division. That kinda sucks, eh? Do something well and still get slapped upside the head for by ol' weedsie boy. ...oh yeah...and let us not forget ... 22nd against the run. Again... worst in the division. Did the Pack earn their 6-9-1 record? Oh, I'd say they did and it wasn't because Aaron was playing hurt. It was because the defense couldn't get off the field. The offensive woes are a book in and of itself - beginning with a non-existent running game and what not. I would argue that the Pack's offensive problems contributed BIG TIME to the Pack's defensive woes because the offense couldn't stay ON the field. Defensively, last year? OK - new system. New coordinator...blah blah blah. The defensive issues of the last 8 years are well documented. Well documented because they were so damned evident. Many have commented that they saw marked improvement over Dom's defenses - well, you're better judges of teams than me then, because all I saw was 400 friggen points yielded. Choosing between Dom's defense and what we had last year is like choosing the less ugly sister to head off to the hay mow with. Nah... Consequently, I'm going to reign in any defensive expectations for 2019 ... and be pleasantly surprised if and when these guys can find their ***** with both hands. That's my bold prediction for this year. [/QUOTE]
