You can't forget about the scoring and yardage numbers, because scoring rankings are based on exactly that ...scoring.

You are comparing 4 games(this year) to 16 games(last year). So let me do the work for you.

In 2010 Packers faced The Eagles, Bills, Bears, and Lions the 1st 4 weeks.

The Packers scored 116pts and gave up 73pts and went 3-1.

In 2011 Packers have faced The Saints, Panthers, Bears and Broncos

The Packers have scored 148 pts and have given up 107pts.

107-73= 27/4 = just to use a round number, The Packers have given up 7pts more a game through 4 games.

148-116=32/4=, The Packers are scoring 8pts more a game through 4 games.

It's hard to factor in The different teams, but I just don't see what all the panic is about, Packers are giving up more poins but they are also scoring more.

With every game, there are mistakes made, but there is also film of theses mistakes. I have full confidence in Dom and crew that the defense is going to tighten down as the year proceeds.

After 4 games last year, we were a +43 team. After 4 games this year, we're a +41 team. So we're 2 points worse than last year. Not bad.

Going forward, either our O needs to pick up or our D needs to get more solid. We're well on pace to being a Slapnuts00 team though so we should be good. I'd really like our D to improve though as also in my SB analysis, I showed how rare it is for a SB winning team to win the SB who doesn't have a top 5 D. For example last year, we were the #2 D and the Steelers #1 D.

I'm talking points, not yards. Yards are irrelevant.

Which brings me to my final wondering... why can't you quote "Rush Defense = 1st" and be happy, but instead make a post like this?

Edit: Not saying I'm particularly happy about our Pass D because I think it's the single weakest aspect of the team right now, but it's nowhere near terrible.

tied for 1st with int, 5th in forced fumbles, 14th in points allowed ( but that does include the NO punt return for a TD)
