Sure, the overall picture was cleaned up with facing likes of the juggernauts known as the Giants, a Packers team without Rodgers, the Broncos x2, The Mehboys and a ageless Big Ben led Squealers.

No. Not having it that the offense is the issue. The defense is the bigger issue, and has been for the majority of the year.

Thinking this team can go on with the same scheme and DC is just pounding your head against the wall.

Yep. When the defense is so shaky that it's affecting how you run the offense i.e. we can't leave any time on the clock, need touchdowns not FGs etc, that's a problem. Especially when you're in the redzone at the end of the conference championship and your QB passes up chances at a touchdown to send you to the Super Bowl because he feels like he needs to use up the clock because your defense can't be trusted to keep the other team out of the end zone.



Yeah, that's a big ****ing problem.
