Yes I agree...But some people look at how the D was last year and expect it to be the same this year..
They forget about the injuries, and loss of Jenkins...
Collins out is a HUGE loss, and we cant replace Jenkins, so in my view those two players are the real issue with the defense..Jenkins provided the pass rush in the middle that allowed BJ to get pressure as well and for Hawk to slide in...Collins was able to direct the players in the back and that helped...
THIS.

I've been pouring over stats all day today and to be honest, I'm kinda worried about the Packers.
Last year they had the 5th rated defense and the 9th rated offense, 10th in points scored.
In the post-season they were 4th in offense and 3rd in defense. They were a balanced team.
This year they have the 30th rated D, 16th in points allowed and the O is 4th in total yardage and 2nd in points scored.
The offense has been overwhelmingly dominant. Aaron is elite beyond compare. They've simply outscored their opponents every step of the way. And so far they're undefeated. But their schedule hasn't been that tough. And it doesn't look like it's going to get much tougher. They're a lock to make the playoffs and probably a 1st round bye w/homefield advantage throughout.
But there's a serious problem in the Packers D. And it could haunt them in the playoffs when they go up against teams with much better defenses and balanced offenses. And God forbid that anyone in the offense gets injured. The Pack is going to have to rely on their offense to get the job done for them. Their defense is just not there.
