Let's just look at the purple slimers.

The vikling ding-a-lings were:

32nd last season in opponents QB rating
32nd in Passing TD's surrendered
32nd in INT's
31st in opponents completion %
31st in opponents pass plays over 40 yards
30th in pass yards per play

Nobody would want to have the vikling pass defense.

Sometimes a team with good pass and run defense has one look worse than the other simply because the opponent has to choose the lesser of two evils. Therefore, the lesser evil looks worse than it is. The Packers were not in that situation, they need to improve both. The point is statistics are usually and indicator best, rather than an answer.

No matter how the numbers are twisted to show the Packers weren't the worst, those stats don't make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Anyone who watched the games knows the Packers pass defense was pathetic no matter how you shade the numbers.

IMHO all the route jumping they did to try to make the interceptions were part of what made them look so bad when they didn't make the play on the ball.
I love the interceptions if they don't give up solid defense just to make the big pick to add to the glamorous stats.

Let's be honest here.. and I know we are looking for a silver lining.. but the Packers defense may or may not have been statically the worst in this aspect or that aspect.. but it simply was a poor defense from the pass rush trickling into coverage.

Yes we jumped routes and picked the ball.. but a more telling stat to me was 3rd down conversion 43% which was bottom third of the league coupled with # of penalties, 122 for 948 yards bottom near the bottom of the league in both.

Sprinkle in yards per play.. 6.3 dead last.

The defense was, if not the worst, right there among the worst defenses in the league, yes our fatal flaw from last season.
