Many people have been eagerly passing blame in circles after the Packers dropped an embarrassing 28-22 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.
However, it comes down to a fundamental question: present vs. future.
The Packers were 23rd in the league last year in rushing yards a game at over 120. They gave up an astronomical 4.7 yards per carry. Nothing was done to address that glaring problem and now that same defense is staring at the crosshairs of another late-season collapse because it cannot get off the field.
"We better get it fixed and fast because I have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen in San Francisco," said a frustrated Packers coach Matt LaFleur.
