[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 585822, member: 5535"] It certainly isn't time to panic over the defense, but there's enough deja-vu all over again to put even reasonable Packer fans on edge. There are 3 things that stand out about the collapse in the 2nd half. a) the switch to a conservative plan after half time and a big lead. McCarthy keeps doing it even though it has backfired a number of times like it did last night. He just doesn't seem to want to learn that you don't go away from what is working until LATE in the game; b) Even the most simple of adjustments on defense was not made, as a number of analyses of the game have pointed out. Put a safety over the top on Jones for chrissakes. Did Capers have brain-lock? And on top of that, McCarthy in his interview just brushed the thing off; c) A performance like this in the playoffs means the end of the road. It's the old story of 2011: the offense can cover up the defense's weakness, but if the offense ever falters it's over, and against top rated defenses like the ones you meet in the playoffs, the offense ain't gonna be putting up 40 points most times. Now do I think this defense is better than in years past? Yes, but there is room for concern. I don't have the same confidence in this defense after this. They've shown once again that they're inconsistent and Dom Capers cannot be trusted. [/QUOTE]
