What of the better efforts from our defense. I can live with giving up 16 points when your offense punts 5 drives in a row

I can too if you’re not second in the league in defensive spending and haven’t spent 5/6 of your last first round picks on defense.

We clawed our way back to 15th in points against. 

The teams immediately ahead of us and their remaining schedule:

Niners - Cowboys, Cardinals, Seahawks
Cardinals - Eagles, Niners, Rams

Oh who am I kidding?  We're not cracking the top 10.

It’s come to wishing other teams gave up more points just so the Packers will rise in points against rankings.

I don’t know why I’m so worried about it.  This defense is capable of being elite.  If they put it all together the way the 07 Giants, 11 Giants and 09 Saints did in the playoffs, this team is winning the Super Bowl and I am streaking (weather permitting).

The defense is capable of being elite, sure.  I'm not sure Pettine is.

Streaking is most effective and bold when done in inclement weather.

Although the cold carries its own set of problems when streaking.... for males anyway.

GB scoring defense is trending in the right direction.  

over last 7 games, PPG against 21.7

There have been some super bowl winners that did not have top 10 scoring defenses over the course of the season, but were able to show out in the playoffs.  

@Outpost31  let's have some optimism here!!!!!!!!

14th in points against now.

.7 points behind Arizona
1.3 points behind Tampa Bay
1.3 points behind Indianapolis
1.5 points behind Chicago
2 points behind the Giants

Over the past three weeks the Packers are 6th in the league in points against.  Only took playing three bad offenses, but hey, that's something.
