Mr. B.,
I didn't overlook Matthews 2 picks. He's a very good football player.
But he shouldn't be in the conversation about the best defensive player
in football. That's a joke. 'nuff said.
As for your earlier attempt to answer my question of when has a defense
this pathetic ever won the Super Bowl.....try again. You couldn't be
more wrong.
The Packers weren't a great defense last year, but they weren't bad.
They gave up 309.1 yards per game and a total of 240 points. The 2011
crew has already given up 262 points with three games left in the
season. And you'll love this. They are giving up 397 yards per game.
That makes them the 2nd worst defense in the entire NFL.
No way this team runs the table. I'm actually rooting for the Packers
to win their next three, so that when the inevitable loss comes, it is
as painful as possible to the Packer faithful. (Did I get that last
part right, Doug?)
Jeff

Jeff: Its only "bait" if there is a sharp hook on the other end, and
here, there is not. Some free information for you....1. The Packers
play a 3-4 defense, in which the job of the OLBs like Mathews is to put
pressure on the QB. Their role is comparable to the role Julius
Peppers (27 tackles for the year, by the way) plays quite well in the
Bears D. In the Packer D, the tackle leaders should be the two MLBs,
and if we are winning a lot (12-0, as a reminder), the safeties and
corners. True every year for the last three.2. Sacks are nice, but
pressure is the key. Pressure yields picks and incompletions, and the
Pack has lots of both. In terms of pressure, football pundits widely
acknowledge that Mathews is having a great year, even though his sack
totals are down.3. Nice how you overlooked Mathews' two picks, both in
key situations, and arguably the difference against the Giants. He
never takes a play off.4. I may not know baseball; heck, I may not
know football. But I know the Pack. I can identify those playing well
(A Rod, Mathews) from those playing poorly (Peprah, Woodson). Final
word of advice: don't wake the sleeping giant. Until now, the USML
Packer fans have been pretty quiet this year despite being on the most
phenomenal run of my lifetime, and I am sure most are happy with that,
because at 12-0, there really isn't too much in the negative column to
write about. -- Mark-----Original Message-----From:

knew Mr. B would come to the defense of the poster boy for the Green
Bay defense. Put out a little cheese and the true blue Greenies can't
help but take the bait.Watch TV? You bet. And my guess is that you
haven't since if you had you might have seen what is inescapable to
anyone who knows anything about football.2 tackles in yesterday's game.
Wow! 36 tackles on the season. 36! That's 9th on the Packers. What
about that is dominating?6 sacks. Not bad, but we're talking about a
guy that is hyped as the BEST IN FOOTBALL. You must be kidding me. 6
sacks has him tied for 26th in the league.And if you watched the
long-haired wonder, you'd notice that at least once during every
possession, he seems to take the play off. Just lolligagging around as
though his reputation alone will make the tackle.I'm not saying he's a
bad football player. He's not. But he reminds me of a former Packer
linebacker, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila. The only difference is
marketing.Clay Matthews - the most overrated player in the
NFL....easily.Jeff-----Original Message-----From: Blocker, Mark B.

SuperBowlwith a defense like this: 2010. It's the same Packer defense
aslastyear! Except this defense has done enough to keep its team
at12-0.Maybe it's better to be 7-5 with a good defense, but not if
youwanthome playoff games. Clay Mathews overrated? Do you even own a
TV? -- Mark -----Original Message-----From:

SecondsDennis,You'll also learn (if youhaven't already) to take
whatever you are told by Mr. Fruit was a(gargantuan) grain of salt.The
date was September 27, 2010. The cheesewasn't even off all of the
heads and back in the refrigerators in GreenBay and the one and only
John Fruit was already trotting out conspiracytheories about how the
Pack had been done wrong by the referees. Itrust Professor Klein will
back me up on this one.Your Giants played agreat game. I've got to
believe you enjoyed the picture of the vastlyoverrated player with the
flowing locks (boy/girl - you decide) sittingon his butt (backwards) as
he watched the Giants run right through themiddle of the pathetic
Packer defense to tie the score up with 58seconds left. I'll give
Aaron Rodgers all the props in the world. Hejust might be good enough
to get it done in this year of parity. Butname me the last time a team
with a defense this porous won a SuperBowl.Jeff-----Original
