[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 610027"] Here are a few counter thoughts to that notion: 1) What's the likelihood of meeting again a QB who throws 3 picks in the first half? 2) What is the significance of picking off a QB 3 times in the first half followed by him lighting up the defense in a historic late game collapse? It's possible for the Packers to get to the Super Bowl without an improved defense depending on the playoff match ups. If it's offensive-oriented opponents at home in the playoffs the chances of getting to the big show would be fairly good. If it's road games against teams with strong defenses that keep a lid on scoring, the odds decline sharply. In my view, losing to Buffalo on the road was emblematic. That loss was no fluke. After the the individual player grades are added up, in the final analysis it will come down to intangibles. To what extent will the whole be greater than the sum of the parts? Will this defense gain some edge and cohesiveness to hold down the score on the road and close out games? It takes a couple of players bringing leadership and "glue" to the proceedings. The best candidates to bring those characteristics are Matthews, the "other" ILBs and Burnett. They need to step up. [/QUOTE]
