Can we please focus on the defense

Can someone explain to me why the focus of these posts is overwhelmingly fixated on the offense.

This defense is a joke....does anyone realize that Mitch Trubisky had over 100% more yards than his average against other teams?

We are wasting the career of the best quarterback ever to play. Things need to change...there is too much complacency, too little accountability, and too much intellectual inbreeding within the coaching staff.

I am bummed.

Brother? Is that you? LOL!

I've been going off about this D for years. It's so bad that what Rodgers is able to mask, it will inevitably always show itself when needed most and kryptonite 12's greatness. It's why I rarely get excited about this team because the D is terrible and a huge parct of this "team".

Ted can't draft D consistently so until he and Dom go, this is the unfortunate story of Aaron Rodgers career.

Oh, a word of advice... You will be labeled negative for telling the truth like this, and some might think you think you're better. 🙂

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 have been complaining about the defense for years. Long before you got here.
The offense is talked about more since the Rodgers injury.

On NFL.com highlights, they show the offensive highlights and often (at least when I've looked, even in non-Packers games) I don't see the defensive highlights up right away, not even for sacks.

How often does the media talk about defenses? With few exceptions, they rarely talk about it... other than if the Patriots defense looks horrible, or some star like JJ Watt gets injured...

That's another of the NFL many problems, so focused in on one area... and not on the game as a whole.

Trubisky had a previous high passing yardage total of 164. Our defense turned him into a 297 yard passer on a run first team.

Last year, Matt Barkley, lit our D for 362.

Wacco Flacco has a season high of 261. I'll bet the over.

This D has made a lot of QBs money over the years. Pack was lucky the Bears didn't choose to air it out from the kickoff. Trubisky likely has a 400 yard game.

More like how you go about bashing everyone else and assuming the worst... like assuming this person will be labelled negative for telling the truth.

Keep telling the truth, YES!
But pounding? ... pounding is good for no one, as it just leads to pounding back, which has happen to you, and you have wondered why they pounded onto you, it's usually because they're just pounding it back. In the end, pounding is good for no one (says the hypocrite that does it 😝 ). But I usually only do it to others that have also doing it. But I'm not surprise when they pound back.

Though speaking of something negative (I've had no where to put this, and didn't think it deserved it's own topic).

On - 11/11/2017 - LB Derrick Mathews released from practice squad
On - 11/13/2017 - LB Derrick Mathews signed to practice squad

What changed?!?!?! One day he's going buh bye, next your resigning him!?!

Of course I just thought of a possible option, maybe they wanted to sign someone else and that someone else failed their physical or something? But still... it seems weird.

If you throw in bashing comments about others here along with your post, how can you expect people to care about what you say?
Belittle others right off the bat....yup, that will get your opinion listened too.
Try to make yourself out as some intellectual, and us as bumpkins , yeah, that's really smart.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
