The discussion started with some posters making an excuse for the defense because they're on the field that much. That's simply not true though.Actually you could have saved all the work put into this post by justing using Football Outsiders' drive stats to figure out how many points each defense has given up this season.Before yesterday's game against the Bills the Packers were tied for 10th in that category in the league. On the other hand the offense was ranked only 27th in points scored.What you have failed to understand is that I'm definitely not suggesting the offense is any good. It's pretty obvious they have struggled to put up points all season. That was to be expected based on a lack of talent at both wide receiver and tight end.My point is that the defense, which was regarded as an elite unit entering the season, hasn't lived up to it so far though.It's not surprising this year's offense is performing worse than it has in a long time considering they haven't lacked as much talent on that side of the ball forever.</blockquote>
