Defense wins championships. Even in an offensive era of the NFL, this old adage remains true.
The Green Bay Packers know how crucial defense can be. They played 55 minutes of the best defense they played all season in the NFC Championship game last season. Unfortunately, the last 5 minutes did not go so well and like most of you, I do not care to replay the final soul crushing moments of that game.
So what’s the problem?
I’ve been critical of the defense for quite some time, more specifically, Dom Capers. Part of my problem with Capers defense is his lack of adaptability.
