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.

    I recognize they brought in Rodgers but imo that was an moonshot to fix something that clearly needed more thoughtful holistic work (and also a pipe dream that Zach would come in after and be The Man).

    The weapons are not there, they have two high level players in Hall and (G) Wilson. Injuries happen and yes the offense has taken its hits but what did they DO about it? What did they do about Zach’s “unpredictability”

    The idea that no-one is to blame and this is all bad luck is mind-boggling to me.
