[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 986102, member: 10086"] True. I think our Defense went into that Vikings game on a mission for respect. We’ve been essentially degraded all season (and initially for good reason) and everyone has petted MN. I believe That’s where the challenge from J’aire was coming from. J’ is a really good CB that hadn’t played at the top of his game (by his standards) for a stretch. That was then this is now. Here we are without our #1 Edge Rusher and opposing teams (good teams too) are having a hard time running up the score on us. After the recent 14 garbage points without B teams playing, we’re allowing about 21 pts per contest. However factoring in takeaways? (12 takeaways in the last 4 contests) This D group is easily a top 10-12 Defensive unit In 931 plays (#2 least league-wide) The Packers D has 17 INT (tied for 3rd with the Eagles and 49ers) AND The Packers has also forced another 7 takeaways on fumbles (total Takeaways is tied for #6) Dissecting further? GB’s Defense gets a takeaway every 38.79 plays Dallas takeaways every 32.44 #1 Eagles takeaways every 37.37 #2 49ers takeaways every 37.54 #3 Patriots takeaway every 38.26 #4 Packers takeaway every 38.79 #5 As a gauge, The lowest in the league is every 84.83 plays. As we can clearly see by who’s in this list, Takeaways are a key component in D success (and winning games Defensively) The Lions are exceptional at taking care of the ball this season (#1 in the league with just 15 Giveaways) We have to change that Sunday night.
