I read that shitty article, and it pisses me off that the guy keeps saying "Packer fans" this and that - like there is unity against Capers. I and I think a helluva lot of others, maybe even a majority, have the good sense to realize that Capers' schemes and compensation are the only things keeping the Packers D even halfway decent. If we played teams straight up without that scheming, we'd be absolutely screwed. A lot of us remember decades of the bad old days when we did just that - virtually no blitzing or movement, etc. If and when Capers ever does get fired or more likely calls it quits, they damn well better replace him with one of his many disciples around the NFL or NCAA. Aranda would suit me.

I do believe that writers and Packer broadcast people probably get as many Capers complaints as Ted complaints.

But that shouldn't stop Demovsky from pointing out that 2016 playoff disaster aside, his Defense has been better in the playoffs than the Packer O for three years running. Some of that is matchups, some of that is the 2015-2016 O funk but some of it is McCarthy and his QB having trouble solving certain defenses.

This doesn't absolve Capers and the D of its meltdowns (49ers, Giants) or late, last minute drives surrendered (49ers again, Seattle, Cards) but if McCarthy is a very good offensive coach who has had a few poor results, then that is the least we can say of Capers recently.
