Should really just be considered a small part of a larger body of indicators in terms of drawing conclusions. Many a game is won by a team with a lesser TOP. My own bigger point on that was the rushing attempts being so low. We became predictable, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass. Of course their two ends will pin their ears back all day on that. And, Rodgers takes a beating with that. So does our OL, absorbing energy rather than delivering the blow to our opponent in run blocking.Regardless, with all the stalled drives, our D was on the field way too long and got gassed. Agree too their holding LAC to FGs first half was phenomenal.-----Found this interesting... if we were ever to have our D make a statement, Sunday v. CAR would be a great time to do just that. They need to flip this.In the past 6 weeks, GB defense ranks 31st in yards per play allowed, 30th in net yards per pass play, 30th in big completions, 23rd in points per game, 24th in sack percentage and 26th on 3rd down. This from PackersWire...<a href="https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/05/struggling-packers-defense-needs-more-out-of-lb-blake-martinez/" target="_blank">https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/05/struggling-packers-defense-needs-more-out-of-lb-blake-martinez/</a>If I were Pettine, I might limit Kenny Clark for a while to get him a break from what amounts to the most snaps of any DL in the NFL. I'd challenge Montravius Adams and Kingsley Keke to bring it. I'd also remove Martinez, and insert Ty Summers into the mix, with Burks or Goodson alongside. The middle of our D is killing us, and that is with a very solid player in Kenny Clark. There are many more players not pulling their weight, or just not getting opportunities altogether. Pretty sure they don't want to burn Kenny Clark out... at this rate, they might, and he's been playing through 2 injuries. Give the guy a break.McCaffery could have a field day going against his former teammate, Blake Martinez. I'd prefer Pettine gets a true Plan B ready to go if he's going to start Blake at ILB... actually, I'd prefer he yank Martinez - he's just not what we need, not even close.Our Defense DVOA has dropped from 13 last week to 20. We currently rank #26 against the run. Wow. Our Defense DVOA ranked 7 in week 7. This should be interesting to see if Pettine can adjust and get his players to respond.</blockquote>
