Should the Packers Consider Making Changes on Defense?

Going into Thursday night's game, the Green Bay Packers defense knew they would have their hands full stopping Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks' prolific running game. However, I don't think anybody expected Seattle to completely steamroll the Packers for 207 yards on the ground and a 5.6 rushing average on the night. The Seahawks were

Any team watching Thursday night’s game and facing the Packers this season will now test the Packers’ ability to stop the run.

This is good, because it will force the staff to deal with the situation before we end up starting our JV team in the playoffs, again.

Good Article. A lot of the same stuff I've been saying.

It was a good article, but I thought the headline was moronic:

Well, DUH! Unless, of course, we were satisfied with our defense on Thursday.

They had ONE game in the new defense... ONE... against SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! ... and it's been said are new defense is a lot like the Seahawks defense... so the Seahawks offense might be used to seeing it more than Packers defense are playing it.

At the very least we need to see how it does against division rivals... after all that's who we need to beat to get into the playoffs and you can't win a Championship without getting into the playoffs.

We face all the division rivals by the 5th week...

Most NFL rosters change over the course of a season. Ours will be no different. We'll see changes on both sides along the way. What I don't want to see is Janis on the inactive list for too much longer. He needs be utilized and I expect the coaching staff to find a way to do so effectively.

I doubt we see anything very substantial happen because for some unknown reason, they don't want to ditch the bad old guys at ILB. I like the idea of using Perry there, along with, of course, Lattimore and/or Barrington. Also, it's just inexcusable to have players like Elliot, Pennel, and Janis inactive for a game that important.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
