[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 837398, member: 11933"] The defense last year showed flashes that I haven't seen in years. Even early on in the season before the Packers caught their stride, they held the Bears in the 2nd half of the 1st game of the season to 6 points, which allowed the Packers to pull off the miraculous comeback. Only gave up 3 in the 2nd half to the Redskins when the Packers offense couldn't get going. Shut out the Bills. Yes I know it's the Bills, but teams don't get shut out in the NFL often at all no matter how bad you are. Played really good down the stretch to allow for the come from behind victory against the 49ers. Played tough against the Patriots and Rams. Particularly what they were able to do against the Rams in the first half was impressive. If the Packers offense does what they are supposed to do, we win that game. I know that's a lot of selective snippets, but again, I'm talking about the team showing flashes. So after half of the season for the team to get comfortable with a new scheme, the next 6 weeks the defense gave up an average of 21.16 points per game, which would have been good for 9th in the NFL. And then of course you have the last 2 games of the season with skeleton crews which are hardly worth even mentioning. It's easy for one to say the Packers ranked 22nd in the league in points allowed, which is accurate. But if you really delve into the season and break it up, you'll see that there was significant progression from the defense as the year went along. You pair that with what the Packers did this offseason, and there's plenty of reason to be optimistic. [/QUOTE]
