I know, I'm opening up an old argument. Sorry But since not much to talk about this preseason here goes...
Just finished this article: The Aaron Rodgers dynasty: the NFL era that never came to pass
Great quote: "The Broncos proved last year it’s possible to win a Super Bowl without a quarterback. The Packers seem intent on proving you can win one with little else."
Okay, I admit to liking the article because I agree with the reason - a substandard defense and defensive coordinator that cannot seem to come through in critical situations. Which makes me wonder - assuming the offense stays healthy and returns to form and there's no reason not to believe that - have the Packers made enough changes/improvements to the defense to finally hold at those critical game-time situations? You know, like OT's and playoff situations when you need to stand firm to prevent a score or hold a lead...
The only changes are the draft of Clark to replace Raji, and one FA McCray who may be "slightly above average" at best. That means the Packers are counting on defensive experience as the reason of improvement. Hope it's enough because it's sickening watching them fail to hold an offense when the importance is greatest.
