I'm just not sure what Calvin Johnson is going to do for the Packers in in the post-season. It's not the offense that has failed as much as it it is the defense not holding teams down.
2016 was end with 44 points.
2015 was ended with 26 (OT) points.
2014 was ended with 28 (OT) points.
I don't see another WR adding points. Its the defense that needs to bottle teams up better.
I wouldn't take Calvin Johnson even at the veteran minimum.

Of course one could analyze it differently in pointing out that with a hard cap financial resources were not spread evenly [the O had 3 times the # of elite contracts as the D], so the responsibility should not be spread evenly.
Or that fumbles, INTs a QB taking sacks after passing up open short routes, a QB refusing to execute his offense, an offense being shut-out averaging 4 plays per drive can be the direct cause of a D giving up more points than they would have if the offense executed up to their contracts.
But we cant twitter or bumper sticker that argument!
Reminds me of a brilliant song by Jill Sobule
YOU TUBE LINK about the bumper sticker quote: "we want our America back"
Here's a sample:
Before there was Ellis island
And that statue we got from the French
That whore’s still alerting, with strangers she’s flirting
Inviting them into our beds
The guineas, the coolies, the wetbacks, the reds
The Jews, now those terrorists
And who let in the woman who looks after my kid
And the one who is cleaning my mess?
Chorus:
Life was better, we lived right,
Life had a paler shade of white,
when they sing “We want our America Back”
"Our America back," "our America back.”
When they say, ” we want our America back”
Well, what the fuck do they mean?
