It was just strange how the D went from top 5 to bottom 5 right around the time that 12 got the bone. We did however lose our entire LB core at the same time though so maybe not a total coincidence. So damn tired of the injuries.

Next it was The Giants, Defense held them to if not less than 100 it was close.
The real "collapse", didn't come until The Vikings, then the absolute disaster at Detroit.
That would be game 4 and 5 of the 5 games in a 25 day stretch.
I would post numbers, but if I did, the doom and gloom club would accuse me of "statistical masturbation" so I would ask you to go ahead and look up the actual numbers.
Many variables went in to the "collapse", Rodgers was just one, but probably the one with the most effect.
Isn't it peculiar how The Run Defense has seemed to get better( less than 100 yds against Atlanta, around 135 yds against Dallas), when the offense under Matt Flynn finally started to click and The Packers controlled the ball and scored.
Doesn't matter how good or bad the defense has been up until now, what matters is THE NEXT 2 GAMES.
The 2013 season will not be defined untill it is over.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
