...here's a little balm to soothe the wounds from last week...


...Green Bay's defense is top rated DVOA going into week 11 at -14.0% and while it's not particulary good relative to history it is nonetheless the league's best at present...it is also tied atop CHFF's Defensive Hog Index with Philadelphia...only three NFL defenses have seen less snaps than Green Bay's 419...they get off the field...

...They have stuffed opposing runners for no gain or negative yardage on 25 percent of all carries, the third-highest rate in the league. No other team is so successful at preventing opponents' big plays and making their own...

...what's dragging them down?...the offensive line [of course] and marginal quarterback pressure/sacks [22nd in adjusted sack rate]...

Charles Woodson, Al Harris, Collins (Pro Bowl Safety), Clay Matthews, Nick Barnett, AJ Hawk, and the biggest defensive line in the NFL per man -- ranking #1 sounds about right.

This team got absolutely dismantled by the Vikings.. twice. The Vikings are a playoff contender.

Contender, not pretender.

It would have been a different game if our O-line would have came to play.
