Since Rodgers took over the starting job, Green Bay has an NFL best win percentage of 24% (6-19) when allowing 33+

Flash fact: Cincinnati, Jacksonville, Kansas City and Seattle are a combined 0-100-1 when teams have scored 33+ on them since 2008.

Times that the Patriots allowed 33+ points in a game by season:
2010: 1
2011: 1
2012: 1
2013: 0
2014: 2
2015: 1
2016: 0
2017: 3 in 4 weeks

Patriots 1-8 in these games.

GB allowing 33+ points in a game by year: *(Playoffs)
2010: 0
2011: 5*(37NYG)
2012: 4*(45SF)
2013: 5
2014: 3
2015: 2
2016: 4*(44ATL)
2017: 1

Slight discrepancy, as earlier tweet has 25 games listed, this tweet covers 23. But in these games, Packers are 6-17.

I see my question was already answered.

A more telling picture about the importance of DE-FENSE would be the record of good D teams when they hold opponents to some fairly low level - say maybe 14 or less.

I wonder how NO does in those sieve games.

5 and 22 from 2010 onward.

One can look at this another way: 4 of those 6 wins came in 2011 when the Packers had an offense of historical proportions and when the defense's tendency to hemorrhage yards and sometimes even points was not an impediment to going 15-1. But 2011 was a bit of an anomaly. In normal years, meanwhile, where giving up 34 or more is likely to mean a loss, the Packers are a pedestrian 2-19.

I've been 40% on the Capers needs to go train. The more players that leave GB and exceed what they did previously is putting me farther on board. As I've said, it's either on Thompson or Capers with all the failures on D. The game might have passed him by.

[texaspackerbacker]

With the personnel we have and have consistently had, we NEED the scheming of Capers just to make the defense borderline respectable. A bland straight-up defense just won't cut it. We came as close to that against the Bears as we ever dare. Against any decent offense, we need to compensate with a bunch of blitz packages and a lot of guessing and targeting which aspect of an offense we load up to stop because we just don't have the horses to stop everything simultaneously.
