[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 287492, member: 2232"] [SIZE=6]Devil's Advocate[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Someone please convince me why this thinking is wrong. [/SIZE] The Packers cannot win the NFC because our weakness is going to get exposed by the strength of their competition, mainly the Vikings and Saints. That's pass defense. The Packers were eliminated last year because Kurt Warner went 1984-Dan Marino on our defense. But Warner was obviously not the only one who did that to this defense. Farve did it twice (and with Al Harris still there both times), and Roethlisberger did it as well, setting a Steelers all-time record with 517 yards passing. The injury to Harris is not an excuse. This team's pass defense is simply ****-poor and either boom or bust. If no interception, then we're dead. And last year in the playoffs, we didn't even have to play Brees and the Saints, who would also have thrown for 400+ on us. Remember the year before on Monday night when Brees had a perfect passer rating against our guys? They scored 51 points against us, the most ever in Saints history. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eqXlzdpnIw&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Week 12 2008 - NFLTA, Packers vs. Saints highlights[/ame] Two different schemes & seasons, DC's, but same DB coaches and same CB's basically, so there's something very very troubling about our pass defense that I feel has still not been corrected. I worry that our DB coaches aren't up to par, or else all our CB's other than Woodson are overrated. Nobody else got, gets lit up like we do. Not the Panthers, Bucs, or Vikings with their bad DB's.
