The Packers were very very close to completely destroying the Redskins yesterday. A couple calls from the refs & a couple missed deep throws were the difference in a 20-15 game vs. a 45-9 beatdown.
They're working hard & improving each week. Hopeful they have it all put together come playoff time. This defense is damn good when they need to be. That's what is most important to winning.
They're also winning.
Worst 10-3 team in the 💯 year history of the NFL
Leading the league in tackles is not impactful. It only means Martinez never comes off the field and that in GBs defense his spot is designed to make the tackles and GBs defense is on the field alot.
But where are the TFLs, Ints, Forced Fumbles or even recoveries? Where are the passes defensed? Yeah, Martinez makes tackles, so did AJ Hawk, but neither of them are playmakers and neither can cover in a passing league.
If you want a good defense you have to have your ILB cover and Martinez can't.
