Green Bay has a spectacular offense. Aaron Rodgers has Super Bowl quarterback stats with 24 touchdowns, 2619 passing yards, a rating of 129.1, and only 3 interceptions. It is safe to say that at this point in the season, they will make the playoffs by any means. After entering the playoffs last season as 10-6, the Packers have definetly lifted some eyes as to what their true potential really is. However, although they have always come up on top each game they have played since the begining of the 2010-2011 playoffs, their defense is a weak point. Green Bay isn't the only team with a good offense, just the best so far. Once the playoffs this year start to get closer, the competition is going to get stronger. Offense will be even more important to all teams, especially after having half the season to experiment. Bottom line is that Green Bay must do something about their defense, and how vulnerable they are in terms of being scored on and gaining yardage. In this past week, the San Deigo Chargers (4-4-AFC West) had scored 38 points on their defense. There hasn't been a game all year long that Green Bay didn't give up less than 20 points! Not to mention their neighbors in the division, the Detroit Lions (6-2), and their star Wide Receiver Calvin Johnson (Megatron). These two teams are scheduled to play on Thanksgiving a couple weeks from now. It will be interesting to see how the Green Bay defense does against them and if their offense can once again make up for any touchdowns scored.
