Packers 2023 defense was in the top half by DVOA, almost top ten at #11.

huh, I see this:

The Green Bay Packers finished the 2023 season ranked 10th in points allowed but also 27th in defense DVOA and 21st in PFF defense grade — highlighting the frustrating inconsistencies that eventually led to the dismissal of defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

Digging around, it looks like Barry's D went 22nd in 2021, and 20th in 2022 in DVOA... so 2022 was his best year in DVOA. They also ranked below average in EPA/play.
The defense was helped by the offense playing at a very slow rate - Rodgers liked to milk the clock down to 0 and MLF doesn't operate a lot of no-huddle.

I'd also like to remind you of these 2023 gems:

Getting absolutely run over by ATL in Game 2
The Baker Mayfield perfect game at Lambeau
Tommy Cutlets
A terrible Panthers team scoring 30 points and almost beating GB

Wishing Joe Barely back is like wishing for your hemmhoroid to return.

Looks like the site I looked at was only showing DVOA for one week of 2023. Oops.

In any event, I don't want Barry back. I don't care if we give up the same amount of yards as last year if we are generating a lot more turnovers.

Anyone wanting Barry back is barking mad.

He was a bad hire and I don't think many liked it from the start. The results were...not good.
I think if an offense is dictating things on their terms only, and you are passively reacting, you're just going to get dogwalked down the field all day.

I would feel more confident about this defense if Xavier McKinney would remove that pineapple from his head.

When's the last time we had eight minutes of defensive highlights?

This defense is only going to get better. We got some serious horses, y'all. At every level of the defense.

LVN's backside pursuit and TFL was kick ass.

Joe Barry made me miss Mike Pettine. A lot. There's no reason the dude should be a DC, let alone OUR DC.

Why? the pineapple is working. Embrace the pineapple!

4-3 > 3-4. Do the math.

And there's his nickname from now on. I've been struggling with a few of the names on this year's roster but thanks to you, and because you obviously know, because you're obviously The Shadow, I can now yell something unexpected and funny at the TV whenever he makes a play.

I can hear it now:

"PINEAPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!"
