When they habitually hit your best players, then it's doubtful it's all just random bad luck that should exonerate everybody in the front office from responsibility. No Parsons, no Wyatt, no Kraft and Jenkins. There is no 'next man up' to replace Parsons. He's a HOF talent. Wyatt is a decent pass rusher. There's no other IDL on the roster even close to him. Can the Packers rise up to beat teams like the Bears with middling QB's? Sure, it's possible. Can they go through a playoff run where they'll be facing good QB play without a pass rush? Very unlikely. The pass rush was faltering this past month with Parsons because of the poor play by the rest of the defense. Without him and Wyatt, will a pass rush magically now appear? There's a threshold where injuries just wreck seasons. Just ask the 2020 Niners, the 2021 Packers and 2024 Lions about that.</blockquote>
