Ever year is different, BUT, many things remained the same! Here is my list:
1 - The Packers Defense is NOT good.
Here are the numbers:
22nd out of 32 teams in yards per game - 363.9 yards per game
21st out of 32 teams in points per gam - 24.2 points per game
Main concerns? Injuries, we will get to that later.
Pass rush? 8th in league - Nick Perry - 11 sacks 31st in league Julius Peppers - 7.5 sacks Clay Matthews - 6 sacks 58th in league.
Interceptions - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix 5 interceptions 5th in league, Micah Hyde 3 interceptions 21st in league.
Keepers - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Micah Hyde, Mike Daniels, Morgan Burnett, Clay Matthews(last contract-sorry!), Nick Perry. The free agents are Hyde & Perry, I would sign. Julius Peppers, sorry Julius - No. Danone Jones - No,
Hey, guess who led the league in interceptions, Casey Hayward, yes, ex-Packer!!
2 - The Packers had a lot of injuries!
Wow! Here is the list of Packers that were on the Injury Report this year, weeks in parenthesis.
Bakhtiari(1,11), Banjo(1,2,3,6,7), Davis(1,2), Elliot(1,2,3,13,16,17), Hawkins(1,2,3), Janis(1,2,3), Perillo(1), Shields(2,3,5,6), Jones(3,5), Lang(3,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17), Matthews(3,5,8,9,10,11,13,14,16,17), Burnett(3,5), Guion(3,5,10,14), Hyde(3,10,11,12), Cook(5,6,7,8,9,10,11,15), Randall(5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17), Ripkowski(5,15), Cobb(6,7,8,9,10,11,15,16,17), Lacy(6,7), Rollins(6,7,8,9,10,11), Starks(6,7,8,9,10,15,16,17), Tretter(6,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17), Abbrederis(7), Adams(7), Bulaga(7,17), Jackson(8), Montgomery(8,9,11,15), Goodson(9,12,13), Ryan(11,12,13,14), Barclay(12,13), Brice(12), Fackrell(12,13,14,15), Martinez(12,13,14,15), Gunter(13,14,17), Rodgers,A(13,14,15,16,17), Perry(14,15,16,17), Peppers(14,15,17), Daniels(15), Michael(15,17), Taylor(16), Thomas(17)
Count 41 players!! Remember, there are on 53 on the roster, plus all the players picked up during the year! And, this is just the regular season, we did not count the rest of the season!!! And the LAST game!!! Brice went down on play one!! Nelson, broken ribs in playoffs, Adams sprained ankle! 3 offensive line men went down and DT, Guion was in at offensive guard!! HOLY CRAPPPPPPPP!
3 - Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback!
At 4-6, we can run the table - ENOUGH SAID! Last year - R-E-L-A-X
4 - Ted Thompson does not like free agents!
All I can say - IT IS TIME!!!!
5 - The Packers always seem to be close!
Last 8 seasons in the playoffs! One Super Bowl. We NEED another while we have Aaron Rodgers!
6 - McCarthy is a good coach.
We need to keep Mike, and let Ted & Dom Capers retire!
So, let the season close! BUT, I'm already looking forward to 2017!!!!
Go Pack Go! And the Packer Buddies are ready!!!
