The most common sentiment expressed about this team is the offense is putrid (true) and the defense is excellent (true).
People go a step further, saying the defense is being “wasted” because of the offense. Which is also true. However, the defense is as good at it is partially at the expense of the offense, For whatever reason, the GM and HC seem to favor the defense. (For instance, after the offense’s poor 2022 performance, the first pick was a defensive player)
Obviously there are other factors, probably most importantly Aaron Rodgers’s deadbeat buddies stinking up the field.
But the defense is deep, an embarrassment of riches. And partially as a result, the unattended-to offense is just an embarrassment.
Unattended?
They literally brought in a HOF QB, a WR1, one of the top RBs in football, a LT, a Guard who can play both Tackles, signed a Center, signed a Guard who came off a Pro Bowl season, and just drafted this teams future Center.
Everybody wants to blame somebody, but you want to know what the shocking truth is?
This defense has stayed healthy over the last two seasons, while the offense has had season-ending injury after season-ending injury at a level that is just unsustainable.
Shit almost made me tear up… Glad to see ppl who aren’t quick to scream “WITCH!!!” still exist in this sub.
