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.
