I think that's about as good as one can expect this defense to play given the current coaching and personnel. Sure, I'd like a better defense, but it is what it is. Mike Daniels really came back down to earth though. He has to consistently play like the did against the Jets, imo. Datone Jones seems to be quietly coming on, though. Mike Neal is pretty consistently solid, even if not great. I haven't been very impressed with Perry once again. The guy has so much natural physical ability. For some reason he just can't consistently turn that into great play. I think someone could get it out of him, though. Peppers was a great addition and has been worth every penny the Packers spent on him so far. Even if he hasn't been great, he's still been very good.

The Packer D didn't give up the points, yes, and that is good. But a big part of the reason they were on the field is that they let the Lions offense stay on the field.

Blame goes on both sides of the ball this week, IMO.

Again.

(Did like the Peppers play, though.)
