Jeff, There are tens of thousands of us fans enjoying being 7-0, and all of us also concerned about the defense. Because your 7-0, doesnt mean your team is perfect. Or does it? Read any writers (incuding here) There are issues.

Randy,

What’s the problem with being the last undefeated team in the NFL? I’m sure you’ll call me a ‘moron’,'idiot’, or some other highly creative term but lighten up a bit and enjoy the success this team is having, no matter how they are reaching it.

Your right iltarion…the poor defense is a non factor. Those 82% that voted defense giving up yards is the biggest issue with the Packers. I guess your right, and those 82% are wrong, but then again iltarion..your “always” right aren’t you? Can you think of any reason why we lost the playoff game to the cards in 2009 iltarion?…”Could it be?” because we gave up 531 yards and 51 points? Or was it, in your line of thinking…because the offense couldnt score more than 45 points? In your analogy, blame the offense. That shows your wrong…Defense does matter, your a moron.

Iltrion, well said. We should all be happy, 7-0 into the bye week. Savor these days, not every fan is as fortunate as we are.

Randy R, we are going to be patient here and start from the beginning. We are miles away from a GED here. No, we need to start with elementary football.

Football is about points. The team with the highest amount of points at the end of 60 minutes or OT wins. Are we good so far?

The sole purpose of offense is to score points. The sole purpose of defense is to prevent points.

Yards don’t matter. An offense that gains yards but scores no points is useless. A defense that gives up few yards but gives up points is useless. No game has ever been decided by who had the most yards.

A one yard drive for a TD counts for 6 points. A 99 yard drive for a TD counts for 6 points.

The Packers score 33 points per game. The Packers allow 20.1 points per game. Logic would suggest that INDEED if the Packers continue these two trends exactly as they are, they will continue to win games.

Just a few more facts that might help you:

The 2009 Packers ranked 2nd in yards allowed. They lost in the 1st round of the playoffs after giving up over 500 yards and 51 points to the Cardinals.

The 2009 Saints WON the Super Bowl. They were ranked 25th in yards allowed.

The 2006 Colts WON the Super Bowl. They were ranked 21st in yards allowed.

The 2008 Cardinals made the Super Bowl. They ranked 19th in yards allowed.

None of those 3 teams scored as many points per game as the Packers have scored in 2011.

I really hope this helps.

Randy R Is a Packerfan, and a realist, and knows bad defense when he see’s it, and isnt afraid to point it out. Go to Packer news, and take the poll: What concerns you most about the Packers? Ask the Patrots last year how easy it is to get to the Super Bowl with a 24th ranked defense……..idiots

Eric, I see where you wrote, we kicked some ass, although we love all your high school trailer park f bombs. You think winning by 6 and giving up 435 yards is kicking ass?…really?…Son?..Listen close…N O Saints kicked ass..Houston kicked ass……learn the difference between getting by with a 6 point win, and kicking ass.
