Notwithstanding the Atlanta 2nd half and Seattle last 5 minutes, which are the two games that stick in the craw of most of us and the games we remember the most, the defense was pretty good the second half of last year. They played some below average offenses, but they also held Philly, New England, and Dallas, three top 5 offenses last year, below their average points scored.

If you could magically take out the Atlanta game, GB allowed 18.5 points/game, which is top 5 territory. As it was they were top 10 scoring D after the bye.

Here's a homer prediction just to piss you off wist. Dom's gonna turn up the pressure more consistently this year - in part to protect some of the inexperience in the secondary.

I'm hoping Rollins comes along quickly because he and Hyde being all over the field around the line of scrimmage a la Woodson x2 (with Burnett watching on the sideline eventually).

Dom's gonna go all Buddy Ryan on the league this year. No one's gonna know where they're coming from.

Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
