The Packers defense is so incredibly fucked

On the upside, this is the time of year when offenses falter and defense wins games.
I don't really like either scenario so we're probably screwed a bit. We did beat the best team in the league last weekend so if we can pull it off again that'd be great.

The worst defensive unit remaining are the Green Bay Packers...
Offense actually wins championships about equally with defense.
Last weekend was kind of a Pyrrhic victory though, so many injuries
Have a defense and qb that doesnt turn it over on the road..
The last 8 QB's faced sure did not hold up their end of the bargain.

Hence "I don't like either scenario"
Always thought the old adage that "defense wins championships" was pretty much true?
Depends how banged up Geronimo and Davante are honestly. We could move the ball without Jordy but I'd much rather have him in there.
I dunno, after 2010 nothing really gets to me injury wise outside of Rodgers. We still have a pretty good offensive and defensive line so protection should hold and hopefully we can win the trenches.

Somehow, yes.
I really wonder how we would do against Atlanta if we make it. They are a mismatch for anyone on offense. I am not sure we could keep up if our defense can't slow them down.
And the Packers on paper are garbage but if Rodgers fucking beats the Cowboys and Atlanta by himself then he is obviously a football Jesus and the regular rules go out the window.

I imagine they have to pay a premium to keep guys there.
Gata - That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection.
Overruled.

We had a pretty shitty run, but it's over.

Wow that is the exact opposite of the Eagles offense this year.

Defense wins championships a tiny tiny bit more but it is about equal.
If only the Eagles had a receiver with the speed to stretch the field and be a legit downfield threat.
Like a Desean Jackson or something.

Do the Falcons have a one dimensional guy who can only run fast down the field, and who also gets paid a ton of money to do that one thing only?

Yikes. I miss Jamie, but fuck... that's a lot.
None of our WRs have a dimension.
We don't have much money invested in the WR position. I'd take DeSean (of a couple years ago) everyday of the week. Our best game changer is a 33 year old RB who is retiring at the end of next season.

Desean wont have a dimension soon either. Plus he is way to easy to neutralize, and he is a bad character guy. I hope the Eagles go out and get someone much better like Kenny Stills from Miami if they are going the FA route.
