Some Positive Packers Defensive Numbers

The talk surrounding the Green Bay Packers' defense is usually negative and with good reason over the last few years. It has mostly remained that way this season, especially with everybody looking at NFL's worst ranked run defense (163 yards per game). However, there are many positive stats being overlooked with Green Bay's defense so

PackersTalk wrote:

"Green Bay also is +6 in the turnover margin, which is tied for the best in the NFL. If you win the turnover battle in the NFL you’re going to in the game the vast majority of the time. That may be simplistic, but often times is true. The much improved pass rush has been the key to those turnovers."

Here's an article that breaks down The defense the right way.

Gonna be real fun to watch all the "ney sayer" gloom and doomer's tear this apart.

Can't Wait!!!

Don't have any stats to back it up, but my eye test wants to say that the team has grown more confident with the ability of the secondary, and has been willing to put more pressure on them by going after ther QB more. Which is what I have been wanting them to do.

I think the next couple weeks, they should leave Sam and Tramon on islands more and open the blitzing capability from the S spot along with LBers.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I advocate we go get JJ Watt from the Texans. I say we break the bank to do it. If I was GM, that's what I'd do.

Good quarterbacks seem to be sprouting out of college all the time. Ted can't get us a pass rusher through the draft, maybe we could at least rattle the concept around.

We're +6 and only 3-2? Feasting on the inferior.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

We've also been mudstomped by the defensives of Seattle and Detroit - superior teams with regards to physicality. We have a long way to go, but a plus 6 in turnover ratio is a good number.

Zero2Cool (2h) : James Jones. Y’all must not know, Dr. Mackenzie🤣 he was not going to let Jordan love play today.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (3h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (19h) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21h) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
