[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 448993, member: 1198"] So let me make sure I understand you. You think our defense was the WORST in the NFL? Worse than Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Minnesota, St. Louis? You also [I]must[/I] consider that a lot of the teams which had fewer yards than us often found themselves in a situation where the other team was running the ball a ton to run out the clock in the 4th quarter because they had big leads. That is automatically going to result in fewer yards given up. The Packers didn't have [I]anyone[/I] doing that last year against them. In every single game, the other team's offenses were going full throttle all the way to the final buzzer against the Packers. That's also a big reason why New Orleans and New England also gave up a ton of yards. On ESPN a few months ago they made note of the fact that opposing teams only ran the ball an average of 5.9 times against us in the second half last year. That was the lowest in the league. Surely you understand how that factors into total yards allowed, right? And yes, it also factored into how many INTs we had. I'm sorry, but the idea that the Packers had the worst defense in the NFL last year simply holds no water, no matter how many times you say it. They need pass rush help, and they got that, and you'll be amazed at how much that will help the rest of the defense. I would venture to say our pass rush [I]could[/I] be the best in the next 2 or 3 years. [/QUOTE]
