Norm Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 5 minutes ago, TheOnlyThing said: Rob DemovskyESPN Staff Writer We may not know if the Packers defense can stop anyone who's any good for a few more weeks. Next up on the schedule: Cincinnati and Chicago -- two teams that have combined to score 31 points in four total games, fewer than the Falcons scored in Sunday night's win. Sounds like good news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think Cincy would be this bad, but the Bears are who we thought they'd be. Great break in the schedule to get these back to back at home. I would love to give some guys who need to heal up get the next couple of weeks off, get by with ho-hum effort wins, and get healthy to battle Dallas in 3 weeks.

Maybe build some confidence and cohesion on defense too. Praying none of that injuries are super serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important part of the equation is who on the defense is playing. Judging a defense with several integral missing parts and comparing it to a defense that's healthy in comparison is no comparison at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattlipp Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I smell a Mixon break out game if Daniels cant play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jleisher Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Well, is this a top 10 defense still? I am not sure, but we still have a lot to work on to stop Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It was never a top 10 defense. Hopefully it's closer to 13-17th range rather than 20th or below like last season, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh we're two weeks in. A nobody Carolina team went 15-1 two years ago, last year no one considered ATL better than the 8-8 team they'd always been. The NFL is consistently inconsistent.

vegas492 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Seattle showed that yah, they are that bad offensively. Atlanta could have rung up 50 points or more if they wanted to. And you have to factor in the Dome Opener. That was going to be a rough one for anybody. Still.....No. Not a top 10 defense. Good news, it doesn't have to be. I'll take top 15 if it can create some turnovers. And I think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 4 minutes ago, incognito_man said: huh? Just that SF did about as good a job vs Seattle (on the road) as we did (at home). And they gave up 23 to Carolina despite utter ineptitude on offense in both games. So is SF a top 10 D? HOU, BUF, CAR, BAL, KC, PHI, MIN, TB, DEN, SEA, ATL, NYG are all head and shoulders better than this squad IMO. I'd take SF, ARI, TEN, JAX, NE, MIA, SD, LAR above GB at this point too.
