Fair enough, let's compare. First, I acknowledge the Seahawks defense is probably in the Top 3 of defenses I've ever seen. But you're trying to say GB has a horrible defense based on one game against Dallas. Dallas has a pretty fine offense. Let's see how the Seahawks and Packers defenses did against that same Dallas offense (Dallas on the road for both).
Against GB ------------ Against SEA
First downs: 21 ----------- 23
Total plays 51 ----------- 69
Total yards 315 ----------- 401
Passing 170 ------------ 239
Rushing 145 ------------ 162
Possession 30:39 ---------- 37:39
Points allowed 21 ---------------- 30
That's a fair comparison. But if you use that argument, you're not allowed to use the following arguments:
"GB's offensive line is WAY better than earlier in the year. They've gelled and are playing like the best line in the league"
"you can't take GB's total defense for the year, look at the last 5 games, they're at the tops in the league !"
"our offense wasn't playing well against you in the first week, our starters don't play a lot of preseason"
Anything else ? Because they're all about as relevant as that comparison.
Go ahead and compare Carolina's game against both of our teams. Keep in mind, the last 6 games of the season, Carolin'as defense was ranked 2nd and their running game was 3rd.
there were numerous times he could have ran with it and instead threw it away or held it too long.... When is the last time he finished a game with minus 4 yards rushing?
