GREEN BAY, Wis. -- No one had to tell the Green Bay Packers where their run defense was ranked after Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears.

"I'm aware what the numbers are," coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. "Nobody likes it."

The Packers' run defense went from bad (27th in the league) before Sunday to the worst.

After giving up 235 yards rushing -- the third-highest total since Dom Capers took over as defensive coordinator in 2009 -- the Packers found themselves dead last in the league, allowing an inexcusable 176.

Oh yes, one more thing:

Lest you thought the Bears were a rushing juggernaut, you should know this: Before Sunday, they ranked 32nd in the league in rushing yards per game.

Well, it doesn't get any uglier than that.
Or can it?

Dom is true to form. He comes in and makes adjustments and the team responds then little by little they fall flat over the next few years.

Dom builds defense based on creating chaos.. simply put, we lack players that can create chaos within the scheme; holding true to the scheme.

Clay is playing with his hair on fire, but is way to quick to give up the edge. Mark it down, if Bridgewater is healthy, they are going to expose that edge a couple times Thursday night.

Peppers is becoming a guy that can make plays and stay disciplined in the scheme. Daniels flashes but at times gets washed out on a combo block. HaHa is showing a nose to make a play in the secondary.. I think Hyde and HaHa would be the best combo back there. Lattimore made a downhill play Sunday.. something sorely lacking to date from our backers.

So there is hope, but I still think Pennel or Boyd better develop quickly at nose; because we are getting pounded inside. We need a true ass kicker in there.. I think the rest of the line actually has promise if we can hold the point with any consistency.

I would talk about the interior backers.. but without the front at least being competitive in combo blocks, it matters little.

I think our ends can get it done. Datone is coming on and Daniels and Boyd are players. It's up the middle where the problem is. Get Pennell some reps, let's see if he can get it together by playoff time.

It's clear Ted's not gonna bring anyone in.

Our LBs will look much better if we've got DL up front who can eat up blockers.

With the Packers Defence playing the run as they have been. It is, and will be no secret that, the Vikings will be running the football right through the middle of the Packers Defence. And they will keep running there until they are stopped. I'm not so sure that the Packers will be able to stop them. They will chew up the clock with long sustained drives and at the same time keep Rodgers and Co. off the field. All the booing from the stands will not inspire the Packers Defence to stop a running attack that was built to support Adrian Peterson. The Vikings O-line is going to push the Packers D-line around like they were college boys.

Now, I don't hear Uncle 🇹🇹 Teddy rushing to plug the hole in the Dam. Yet we praise him for his omnipotent skill in building this team. I have not come to praise TT, but to turn the spotlight on him. This team is in trouble and he just collects his paycheck ! While his mouthpiece,"Vic Ketchman" spews out the comforting propaganda. Coach McCarthy and his staff are caught in the middle ! They can only try to do the best with what have to work with.

There is a short poem that truly fits , and it goes like this:

We the willing
Lead by the unknowing
are doing the impossible
for the ungrateful
We have done so long
with so little
we are now qualified to do anything
with nothing.

They have a solid run blocking line and a top 5 RB. The 3 teams they faced before us are the top 3 run defenses in the NFL currently and Chicago was playing from behind in 2 of those games.

It was so stupid to not practice the new defenses at all in preseason. Now we are changing personnel and schemes and whatnot on a weekly basis because Dom never bothered to figure out who fits where in the offseason. I haven't seen any breakdowns or anything by scheme but it seems like our 4-3 defensive sets where Clay plays SLB have been pretty good against the run. We seemed to play a lot more nickle against Chicago and it hurt against the run.
