We LED the NFL in takeaways (which is NOT something that happens on accident) and at the end of the day, points allowed IS the primary function of a defense. If you want to say we had a horrible pass rush, I would agree with you (which is exactly what Ted addressed in the draft). But defense is more than just pass rush. The Vikings allowed 50 fewer yards per game than the Packers. They led the league in sacks. But they also had 23 fewer interceptions and were second in MOST points allowed. I suppose you think they have a better defense? BTW, the two Super Bowl teams last year also had one of the 6 worst defenses (if all you care about is yards, for some reason). Sorry, you can crow all you want about the Packers having the worst defense but it simply is not true. They are overall a good defense in desperate need of some help on the DL, and they got that.</blockquote>
