Someone can check the math on the topic title. But I believe it's true, or close to it and with that said, this quote rings a cord ...

The first thing Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor and those guys said to me when I walked into the defensive back room, was if you don’t stick your face in the thing, you can’t be on this defense. If you aren’t ready to hit — we don’t care about interceptions — if you aren’t ready to hit, we don’t need you.

We've got the most cumulative INTs over the last 3 seasons with 73! New England (68) and Chicago (65) are next over that same span.

We were ranked #8 last year with 18, and #1 in 2011 with 31, #2 in 2010 with 24.

CHI led the league last season with 24.

BAL leads post season cumulative INT total over that 3 year span with 14. GB #2 with 11. We had 8 of those in the 2010 post season. Remarkable.

I think we are all judging our defense on the debacle in San Francisco, which was an anomaly of a game played by a short handed defense. I expect a much improved defense fielded in 2013.

A healthy Perry, an improved Neal and Dantone Jones will hopefully transform a weakness, pass rush, into a strength. Then the rest should fall into place...hopefully.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (8h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (9h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (9h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (12h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (12h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (12h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (15h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (15h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (15h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (15h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (15h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (15h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (15h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (15h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (16h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (17h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (17h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (17h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (17h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (17h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (17h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (18h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (18h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (19h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (19h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (19h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (20h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (20h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (21h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (21h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (21h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (21h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (21h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (21h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (21h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (21h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (21h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (21h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (21h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (22h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (22h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (22h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
