I have not yet bought into our "improved" defence, i think sunday Brees will carve us up for 450 yards total Offense and 35 points.

Our Offense needs to find some rythm, and start putting points on the board again, if we do that we might beat them in a shootout.

Final score

Saints 35

Packers 21

People in sports use “defense” as a verb meaning “defend against,” as in “the team couldn’t defense that strategy.” Outside of sports talk, “defense” is never a verb.
