For those that are into numbers to confirm what you say- 283 YAC for the Packers.

Tackling is a huge problem right now.

[12thMan]

I'm going to remain positive and say it's only two games. I'm not jumping to any conclusions about the defense being worse or better after just two games. It's a long season and the defense could turn out to be better than we think. In fact, I think it will. I've been hard on Orakpo for two years and haven't seen anything this year to change my mind.

In fact, I still stand by earlier comment that the defense played well (early on) vs Green Bay.

So regardless what the facts (missing hella tackles, letting QB set records, giving an avg of over 200 yards rushing, YAC totals that make me physically yack) your gonna stick with the defense played well?

Yep.

No seriously, we were getting after it for a solid quarter then the game just got away from us. I'm not ready to write off this defense by any stretch of the imagination.

Defense is on the field first, they need to set the tone. 7 minute 80 yard TD drive to start the game is not setting any kind of tone

I have faith the D can turn it around, they did it last year with some key guys out, but facts are facts. The D has been straight up ass so far.

I don't think I have ever seen a worse tackling team in my entire life. I understand that the rookies are probably going to miss some tackles, but it's not just them, it's everybody and I cannot put my finger on how, all of a sudden, this team forgets to tackle.

I dont understand our D, we get pressure on the QB but then we dont.. Kerrigan was great the first series and then he was gone..

Once the Packers went to a quick hitting passing game it killed our rush effectiveness.

...and then we failed to adjust. Our DBs gave huge cushions, never jammed GB receivers.

Will we see any kind of improvement at least with stopping the run game when we get our guys back from suspension?

I see that as an element that is part of the problem.

[skinsfaninok]

I just dont think Stafford will shred us like AR did and if u remember right, Vick really didn't kill us it was shady

[Evilgrin]

Team Speed on defense doesn't look good now, contributing to the missed tackles and the YaC stat.
