What the Packers defense really needs is a new D Coordinator. Yes, players make plays, but Capers is incapable of running a consistent defense that doesnt rely on Turnovers. The league has changed dramatically, and teams don't turn the ball over that much unless they have an idiot QB. Capers defense does well in division and against garbage quarter backs, but once we face a competent offense that's capable of not shooting themselves in the foot 4-5 times a game, our defense is incapable of doing anything. It's no wonder why we lose late in the season so much.
Since the Superbowl run, his defenses gives up an average of 399.5 yards per game in the playoffs.
The Packers offense averages about 26 points per game in the playoffs in that same time frame, and 28 points during the regular season during this stretch.
The Packers defense gives up 27 ppg in the playoffs post SB win compared to their 22.7 ppg in the regular season.
The Packers defense gets much worse in the playoffs then it does in the regular season. The Packers offense only gets a little worse in the playoffs.
Give any other D Coordinator an offense that averages 26 ppg and they will be salivating. But we have to accept Dom Capers because why? There is way too much talent on the defensive end over the past few years to be giving up that many points.
