Yes, it’s ranked dead last in passing yards. We are 19th in scoring defense. Listen people, all that matters is scoring defense.  You don’t win a game because you put up 6,000 yards like you can against this defense. What frustrates people and I’ll admit it frustrates me too, is that teams (ALL TEAMS) seem to move the ball down the field on us with ease. Every 20, 30 and 40+ yard completion makes me want to kill someone, and that angers us as fans. But what we overlook is that teams don’t always score against us. They do quite a bit as evidenced by our 19 ranking in scoring defense. But we aren’t the worst defense in the league. We’re not good, but we aren’t the worst. Regardless, every team in the playoffs has the ability to torch our defense, for yards AND points. If we go back to the superbowl, we are going to do it on the right arm of Aaron Rodgers and the hope of winning the turnover differential. We aren’t going to do it because we shut a team down defensively. We haven’t done it all year, we aren’t going to start now.</blockquote>
