Now if Gute and MLF decide that the defense is short quality players and Pettine is over achieving with the Tool box he has been give to work with, then he shouldn't be fired.  While it would be nice to have a few better players, I don't see lack of talent as the pervasive issue with the D.  We seemed to have this same hot-cold inconsistent defenses with Capers.  Brilliant guy, but he couldn't keep his foot on the gas pedal and sustain it.  I also think the Front Office got tired of "needs better players" and when you look at the drafts, they sure tried.MLF is the most innovative head coach we have seen in Green Bay, I think its time to find a DC that has that same creative mind and ready to pump some new hope into this defense.</blockquote>
