Now granted we're only 4 weeks in and there's a lot of football left to be played, but so far we experienced more of a dropoff than I figured. Some of what I've seen is poor tackling, some I feel is the result of overthinking and being too slow to react, but I didn't think it would be this bad.
Like I said before there's plenty of football left to be played and they did play much improved d today, so I'm not going to judge them too harshly anymore. I'm probably gonna hold my tongue for the rest of the season in fact because I feel like there isn't a good enough sample size to accurately judge what kind of defense we will have for the rest of the season.

GB struggled quite a bit. They got shredded too in yards when they first transitioned. I remember this quite well as a good buddy of mine is a diehard GB fan. He complained for quite some time how he hated the 3.4 switch. They also had players playing out of position like Aaron Kampman(sp?). I think they have made some moves for better suited players and have had more time to absorb the system.
On another note, I don't care if we give up the most yards in the league. If we can hold teams to FGs that's fine.
