...the Confederacy would be alive and well today. The Packers are 5-1 versus teams from the Union, and a robust 0-8 against the South. There are a few reasons that the Packers are where they are. A distinct inability to run the ball and stop the run are the biggest reasons they are 5-9. A lot of Favre lovers will say his trade to the Jets is the reason for this, and not the lack of defense. That is faulty logic. Aaron Rodgers more than acquitted himself this season. Long-term, I think the Packers are going to be fine with Rodgers at QB. The thing is, I am not sure how the Pack is going to improve on defense. Is it a personnel thing, or a scheme thing? Honestly, I am not sure. Granted, there have been a fair number of injuries, but the lack of execution on defense is awful. So, what to do?
One other Packer-related question: Are any of you as scared about that Detroit game on 12/28 as I am?

It's defensive personnel. Subtract Corey Williams, then Cullen Jenkins, then KGB, then Atari Bigby, then Nick Barnett, your defense is going to be hurting. You could have the greatest schemes in the world, but they won't work that well when you have to rely on people like Desmond Bishop and Brandon Chillar to play.
As bad as this has been, it could be worse. You could be a Seattle Seahawks fan.
