Mike Pettine Bringing Accountability to Packers' Defense

One of the biggest storylines in the immediate aftermath of the 2017 season, right before the firing of Dom Capers and the transition of Ted Thompson to a new role, was multiple players on the Packers' defense citing a lack of accountability for their play.

In an early January piece by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein and Michael Cohen, "several players" said there was minimal accountability on the defensive side of the ball for poor play. This had long been suspected by the anti-Capers contingent of Packers fans, who felt his firing was long overdue.
