The Packers have been infamous for their defensive shortcomings over the years, and with good reason. Dom Capers and the rest of the defensive staff did a consistently poor job of getting the defense on par with the rest of the league. But what has been equally disappointing in recent years has been the offense’s inability to strike fear into opposing defenses, despite Aaron Rodgers‘ greatness.
Mike McCarthy has a small share of blame when it comes to the offense’s poor play. McCarthy is known to have the simplest scheme in the NFL and has done a poor job of adapting to the league’s quicker defenses.
