It is really weird having a good D, I'm not used it. I actually trust them with the game on the line. That INT by Williams will unreal, he put it all on the line, either it was going to be an INT or he was going to mistime the jump and it was going to be a TD. Gutsy, athletic play.

Taking the ST out of it because I don't trust them. Let's assume next week, you could have one of the following two options, what would you take?

1) Falcons on own 30 with 2 minutes left, no timeouts but Packers are up 17-14 and its on the D to stop them.

2) Packers on own 40 with 2 minutes left, no timeouts but Packers are down 17-14.


What would you rather have? The being up with the D there to try to stop them but its possible the Falcons score and you lose. Or have control with a chance to tie or win?

Any other Packer year in recent memory, I'd take the O by a longshot but this year, I don't know, I think I would actually rather take my chances with the D.

A big sack by Clay, an INT by Williams, who knows.

EDIT: Looking at it, I don't know if the 2nd option is that attractive, may be it should be edited to having the ball at midfield or something. Either way, you get my drift.

I'm with you on this one, Red.
I'm NOT used to having a strong D. But our guys have shown that they ARE a good defense. Right now, i trust them.

If it's in a dome, Packers offense.
If it's outside, Packers defense.

I'll vote assuming we're talking this upcoming game.

The Packers defense has been remarkably consistent this season.. and very stingy overall. I will take that unit over a up and down offense that for the most part has been one dimensional in its attack.

If the Packers establish a consistent running game.. then it moves to a don't care to a slight advantage to the offense.

Why.

Because on offense you can dictate the game.. on defense you rarely can.

Even thou I really enjoy our D this year; I have to go with the O - arod and his receivers are a gift to us fans ...

The D often has left blow coverages etc ...

It's tough, and it really depends on the game situation. I think if both teams have been scoring a ton I'd go with our O, otherwise I'd go with our D. We're blessed to have good play on both sides of the ball. I voted D in the poll just because I'm still pumped about last night.

Do you want a dropped pass like James Jones just before the half on 4th down?

or

a Jarrett Bush screw up like allowing the touchdown pass?

Jones provides more pros than cons on offense.
Bush provides more cons than pros on defense.

Bush is decent on special teams.
