Our offense can't keep the defense off the field?

I've seen too many Rodgers haters claim that Rodgers and the offense are too blame for our losses because they can't keep the defense off the field. I just figured I'd dispell this rumor right quick with a stat from NFL.com.

Packers average time of possession: 31:43
Opponents average time of possession: 28:51

The defense is never on the field long because they give up a TD in 3 or 4 plays.

Are you sure? Because I thought it was about the offense not being able to keep our own defense off the field. I don't know, I'm confused.

Can't blame the offense, when the D gives up points on the first drive by the opponents.

That has happended 7 times 5 TD, 2 FG.

There is time when the O has not helped the D out, but the D has been able to fail without any help.

We need a pass rush.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The Pack have a real problem with opening drives. It seems once they go 3 and out to start the game the defense lets the other team go right down and score.

Our D has had major break downs at the end of most of the games.

Another thing i noticed is.........MANY times after our O has scored, our "special" teams gives up a big return. It's like they say to themselves "We scored, now we can relax" and BOOM! The other team runs off a 50 yard kick return.
To me, thats mental break downs.

dfosterf (2h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (7h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (10h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (11h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (12h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (12h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (12h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (14h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
