Game 1: Packers @ Saints (in Jacksonville) - Sunday, September 12th, 3:25pm

Death, taxes, and crappy Packer defense.

Nice to have things in life you can rely on.

Ugly 1st quarter defense. MLBs grade a F thus far.

[BruisedCrew]

The Packers defense looks like they’re already gassed from the heat while the Saints defense sits with their feet up under fans on the sideline.

Rough quarter for my Adams/Tonyan fantasy duo

[Fear The Chorizo]

GB run defense is essentially a wet blanket again just hoping the ball carrier gets tired with them passively getting blocked at the point of attack

[OldHeidelberg]

Same old soft defense so far. Gary lost contain 3 times already

Ugly 1st quarter defense. MLBs grade a F thus far.

 

Over the last 25 years the Packers have had one of the saddest collections of MLBs in the nfl.

I'd hate to make judgments only one quarter into the season but after 10 years of bad defense it may be time to switch philosophy. Run the 4-3, just anything else. How any unit can be this bad for so long is mind boggling.

[yourout]

Not ready to play.

[HarveysWBs]

Saints defense, still good. Packers defense…not.

[PinaMadness]

Guess this is what happens when you don't give your starters any reps in the preseason.

[adambr2]

Who would have thought that not playing all of preseason would result in a team that looks like they haven't played all preseason?

Was going to post the same thing, hopefully they just need a half but man…

Same as last year. I’m guessing the reshuffled offensive line is a bigger factor here. I expect that to gel with time.

 

However, I’m more concerned with the defense. If we’re going to have run-stopping problems, we’re going to struggle.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Not ready to play.

 

Not going to put too much stock in week 1 results - going to take time for a starting roster that basically didn't play at all during preseason to gel. Saints likely played more together in preseason figuring out who was going to be their QB.

 

Saints are 5 yards downfield all game long, defensive front is getting abused

[PinaMadness]

This is bordering on embarrassing.

[young guns]

Make a stop here and then a long td going into half and I'll feel better.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Its amazing how fast a gameclock runs when your defense can't stop the run...

[HarveysWBs]

As long as 12 is suiting up, why wouldn’t opposing teams just keep running until we stop it? Unless I can just abuse the heck out of King every time, I wouldn’t want any part of the rest of our secondary. And if I’ve got Kamara? Forget it, I’m running.

[PinaMadness]

That was way too easy SMH.

[adambr2]

Joe Barry was such an awful hire. They had an extremely desirable position and MLF somehow filled it with about the least qualified possible candidate.

[OldHeidelberg]

Man we looked outcoached and whipped already.

[adambr2]

Bear in mind that Drew Brees is long gone and this isn't even a home game for the Saints.

I don’t want to make this conclusion yet, but there isn’t any contravening evidence available. Not a good situation.

[PinaMadness]

I hope my grandchildren one day get to see a great Packers defense. It’s not happening again in my lifetime.
