The Packers Have a Missed Tackle Crisis

After improving their tackling ability down the stretch run of the 2014 season, the Green Bay Packers' missed tackle bug reared its ugly head again during the season opener against the Chicago Bears.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said they had double-digit missed tackles on Sunday at Chicago.

Whatever language you speak, 10 missed tackles in a game played by professional defenders is unacceptable.

This seems like a yearly occurrence with the Packers. They start the season sloppy, give up chunks of yards, yield lots of points, and leave many plays on the field through missed tackles.
