Give the Defense some credit· Page 2

Was good to see them pull it together late in the game and get the W. Missing many starters on offense is likely part of the stagnant first half - saw some good playcall adjustments late in the game, which is something I haven't seen in quite some time.

Pass rush was very effective, secondary didn't play too bad either - especially considering we were down a couple of guys back there. I would like to see more man coverage, though. The big question still remains - will they figure out how to stop the run? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Nice to see some grit and a few guys man up - been waiting to see that for quite some time.

Why does there almost always have to be an excuse for when The Packers win?
Here's a game fact.
From the Olave catch late in the 1st half until The Saints final drive of the game, The Saints had ZERO 1st downs.
Defense gave up 10 points! Period!

The Packers played without their #1 Rb, their(arguably) #1 Wr, their all pro Lt, their starting Lg, they lost their all pro starting ILb in the 1st half.

Nobody was using those missing parts as an excuse for The Packers.

After listening to the players comments, this team is galvanized, they have each others backs.

Hope you all like roller coasters, it's gonna be a quite a ride.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Packers fans in general seemed conditioned to credit the offense and blame the defense. So when the defense leads the way, the defense just gets ignored other than excuses if why it went well. Only getting attention when they fail.

The NFL has set up the rules to favor the offenses, and they basically completely ignore OL holding (especially IOL holding) unless it's obvious from the TV booth. So when the defense does well, they're already overcoming the rules and the other team.

Based on what?

That QB put up ten points and got their lone offensive TD on a short field cuz we went for it on fourth down.

So the Saints having two games of playing better in the second half is somehow meaningful, but the Lions one game of beating the Chiefs is not meaningful? Why such a difference?

Lions looked pretty good against the Falcons, and the last three games between Packers and Lions, the Lions are 3-0.

Which I thought would of been the longest streak for a long time, but in 2017/2018 the Lions were 4-0 against the Packers. Before that, you have to go back to before Favre joined the team for the Lions to win 3 straight, those then did win a couple of 3 out of 4.

I'm thinking the Packers are going to need to get some injured guys back to have a chance, though it sounded as if they thought they might get some back on Sunday and didn't, so hopefully ready for Thursday.

I'll wait to see when they actually play an explosive offense.

Where is the consistency in logic here?

Packers defense is based on pass rush dominating... currently the Lions have the best OL on the Packers schedule. Others with a top 10 OL include the Falcons and Buccaneers. So I'm guessing there will be more fire Barry talk after the Lions game as the defense will go as the opponents OL goes.

Though could be an interesting shootout if the Packers get healthy on offense.
