Thought this was kind of interesting. Marshawn Lynch on 20 carries forced 7 missed tackles while Lacy/Starks on 19 carries forced 10 missed tackles. The big difference to me was blocking on the edges and their LBs covered up when guys missed tackles while ours were getting blocked.

On top of that he makes terrible decisions in the run game. Everyone wants to bash raji. Look what happened without him. The problem is hawk being the best ILB on the field

I agree to some extent with what Darkane said. The team needed a reality check like this to more effectively assess a bunch of new/inexperienced pieces across the defense. HOWEVER, if you don't have the tools you need, what can you do?

For the DLine we have...
- a 2014 UDFA who was average at the NCAA D2 level
- a 2013 5th rounder
- a veteran the Vikings didn't want to retain w/ 5 career NFL sacks in 5 years
- a 3rd year who showed a lot of promise as a rising star in 2013 (Daniels)
- a 2013 1st rounder with an underwhelming first season.

That's it. In a game won/lost in the trenches, that's what the Packers are going to bat with. If I'm a 2014 Packer opponent, I'm laughing as I do once of these... [aiee] Then when they see Hawk and Brad Jones ARE STILL starting at LB, they'll probably all go out and buy lottery tickets.

I truly am wondering what the hell was going on when Guion was tabbed as starter for this game. Guy didn't play until the last preseason game, missed a lot of the offseason stuff with an injury and he's declared starter for this game!? Why? I can only guess that it's because he's a vet and has more experience than Boyd.

It's getting old seeing younger guys only getting a shot due to injuries or superior play over several weeks before they actually overtake an underperforming vet. I wouldn't be surprised to see Guion stay the starter a few more weeks even if Boyd clearly outplays him game after game.

It could bite the Packers in the ass (but how much worse could it truly get?), but it very well could improve the defense. I think it's a risk worth taking, at least in the off season, but I'm not getting paid by a NFL team, unfortunately. But does anyone actually believe there is not a coach out there that could at least do marginally better with the Packers defense over the past 2-3 seasons?

HHCD has already defended as many passes as MD Jennings did all last season so there's also that lol.
