I didn't say the Packers should get rid of Shields. I said if he wants to see the last couple years of his contract ($12.125M in 2016 and 2017 each), he needs to be playing at a reasonably high level. Not being benched in games for guys like Davon House.
I like Shields and can certainly just chalk it up to a bad game for now, but he needs to play better.
I'm also not going to criticize the Seahawks for a scheme that works. Like you said, our coverage only works with a pass rush. When you're getting none, you better adjust and get out of the single high safety with no help over the top on Jones. That's on Capers as he never adjusted last night. They never schemed to take Julio out of the game. They were going to let him beat us and they're lucky he didn't.
The Seahawks scheme works very well but does rely on getting pressure with just four guys up front meaning they hardly ever blitz. If they can get pressure on you with 4 then there gonna beat you. If they can't then a QB like Rodgers has the ability to pick there zone apart and look for favorable match ups.
