Vikings are a lesser team than Falcons, yet so many are confident the Packers are going to win?

The Packers did beat the falcons and I still think the should have beaten the vikings.

With a healthy Aaron Rodgers, sure. But the defense is going to have to keep improving, and I don't have much confidence they will.

Noticed how when the offense stopped sucking the Falcons didn't score another point all game... and really the offense two turnovers set up the Falcons for 14 of their 21 points. Which has happened a lot this year... yet the defense getting the blame for not stopping them but the offense has put the defense in bad positions.


And again, the defense has had a couple of horrible drives most games but outside of that, they haven't been as horrible as all the talk about them.


And I think the offense is the one that needs to step up against the Cowboys. The Cowboys defense is 32nd in the NFL with most yards given up, including 32nd in passing yards given up and 27th in running yards giving up. The offense needs to finish with a couple of TDs.

As the Raiders #2 WR (that game) WR Andre Holmes (who?) had 136 yards against the Cowboys. So the Packers WRs should get their chances.

No, beating the Falcons this season doesn't make me feel much better. I don't think the defense is clutch, at all, and I would expect them to get lit up against the likes of the Saints, Seahawks, 49'ers, and even a few others. I'm not giving them an easy out due to the offense. The defense needed to step up and carry the team since Rodgers has been out, and for the most part, they have failed at doing so. Add that to the past couple of seasons, and I have plenty of evidence to support my opinion.

I think our D is decent. Not too bad or good. When Rodgers plays again we will see how much not being on the field as much can help them.

Glad to see our D stepped up today. It looked bleak after that very unlucky pick 6, and we kept battling.

They need to be able to stuff the run. That's where it all starts. If Pickett, Raji and Jolly are all hurt or something, then maybe some fresh legs from Worthy, Boyd and Wilson can get some reps. Whatever it takes, they need to find a way.

The rest will fall into place, imo. I know Burnett has struggled, but until proven otherwise, I will assume it's because of Jennings. Hopefully Richardson's promotion will repair that.
