[QUOTE="Brandon, post: 420650, member: 6054"] I agree with you 100%. The fact that we give up so many passing yards is completely meaningless for the most part, because in most of these games that I've watched the Packers will have a substantial lead and then play a soft coverage that allows for a ton of underneath yards. I think there's only been maybe 5 games this whole year where the defense actually played bad, last week including.. although we didn't have woodson and matthews out there who by themselves can be game changers. Like you pointed out we lead the league in interceptions (I think turnovers too? Maybe the 49ers have that right now, not sure) and when you have a defense that can take the ball away and give it back to Rodgers on average of 2x per game, then THAT is why we are where we are right now. Garbage yards and garbage points don't matter in this league. I mean hell, we just let a guy throw for 500+ yards and 5 TD's and we STILL won the damn game.. why should our defense scare us? What I will say about out defense is that I sincerely hope we find a pass rush in the playoffs, I've been extremely disappointed in our d-line and have not seen very much pressure like we constantly got last year. I attribute out front 4 more to the passing yards given up than I do our secondary who have more interceptions than any team. [/QUOTE]
