[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 837437, member: 11933"] First year in a completely different system, where Pettine was working to change the culture, of course there are going to be hiccups along the way. No one expected the Packers to come flying out of the gates holding teams to 15 points a game. But it is absolutely undeniable that the defense got better as the season progressed. The numbers tell that story. There were several games that the Packers lost that they should've won, and it's because the offense couldn't bail out the defense for a change. [USER=11829]@Pintsizedbox9[/USER] two of your examples are the #1 offense in the league last year and the greatest quarterback/coach duo of all time....LOL. Against a 1st year defense. If you can't appreciate the things the team did in the Rams game then you clearly didn't watch or aren't remembering the game correctly. It's easy to look at a number like 29 and say "see! see!". If you actually WATCH the game though, you'll know that the defense gave the offense AMPLE opportunity to win that game. The defense was on the field for 35 minutes against a potent offense because the Packers couldn't sustain drives offensively. They were gassed in the 2nd half against the #1 offense in the league. Give me a break. [USER=6794]@captainWIMM[/USER] of course giving up 30 to the 49ers isn't anything to brag about. 24 of those were given up in the first half. It was awful, no doubt. But the team came out in the 2nd half and locked them down, only allowing 6 points in the 2nd half to give the offense a chance to come back. That's the sign of a defense not playing up to its capability. It should have been expected for it to take more than one offseason for Pettine to remove the stink of Dom Capers. Using the eye test, I don't see how ANYONE could argue that the defense wasn't improved. [/QUOTE]
