Those are Capers type of performances despite 2 first round draft picks, one of whom looks great and 3 high priced free agents. Despite the massive influx of new talent, the performance has been disappointing. The Packers may eek out enough wins to get back into the playoffs but those types of defenses, as we have seen the past 8 years give up 38-50 when an elite qb comes to town in the playoffs. The underwhelming defensive performance is despite very good health. They don't have injuries as an excuse. Trends are also troubling. Since week 3, sacks are way down and passing yards are up. Again it boils down to how you define success. If you are happy with making the playoffs and getting clobbered then a 22nd ranked defense is ok. If you don't want to waste Rodgers career, then a 22nd rated defense sucks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
