Defense got off to a rough start (the first two drives), but locked and loaded after that.
The Falcons had the ball 7 times after that (not including the kneel down right before the half).
The first 5 drives (middle of the 2nd Qtr through beginning of the 4th Qtr) went for a combined TOTAL of 15 yards and all ended in punts, and the last two ended in interceptions.
There was a lot of bashing of Dom Capers in the GameDay Chat early in the game yesterday, including repeated calls for his being canned.
Seriously? Because the D got off to a slow start for the first 4 (1/2) games this year? Last year, the Packers ranked 2nd in scoring defense, 5th in the league in total defense, and 5th in pass defense.
In 2009, the Packers ranked 7th in scoring, 2nd in total defense, 5th in pass d, 1st against the run.
2008, the year before Capers arrived, the Packers ranked 22nd in scoring, 20th in total defense, 12th in pass, 26th against the run.
Seriously? Is Dom Capers a piece of crap we need to scrape off our shoes?
