Minus Burnett, Capers had every preferred starter playing today. And yet again, blown coverage after blown coverage, guys looking at each other (including Pro Bowler HHCD) pointing wondering what just happened. Shi* tackling again and again.

Facing a competent offense, Capers just fails over and over. Yes, some years it's injuries. But plenty of others, his defenses are healthy enough and he fails. And fails.

6 1st round picks on his defense.

2 2nd rounders as well.

Same as it ever was...

I saw 4 D backs standing within 4 feet of a NO receiver as he caught the ball and turned and ran for about 5 yards--Dom's D is all about talk, I dont believe he teaches or motivates the D in the slightest.

Six things are true:

1 - Everybody agrees Dom should go

2 - MM will never do it unless he is forced to by TT

3 - TT won't force MM

4 - Dom will remain in GB as long as MM does

5 - MM will remain in GB as long as AR does due to winning percentage

6 - We will never know how many rings AR would have at the end of his career if the defense was nothing more than just respectable.

MM may very well end up getting fired if he doesn't address Dom.  It's the classic loyalty to a fault scenario and I'm amazed he doesn't recognize it.  

They can package it as a "retirement" as give him some hush money and bull**** "special consultant to the team" title and it's all good.  

 

Agree, and would be long over due

Well it wasn't until after the special teams gaffes were so instrumental in the Pack losing the NFC Championship game in Seattle that McCarthy finally fired his buddy Shawn Slocum.

And Slocum's special teams units were worse than Dom's defenses, so I think McCarthy's penchant for loyalty is not due to the fact that he does not recognize it but rather because he celebrates it.

Long live Dom and his enabler Mike McCarthy.

This defense doesn't do anything well. They can't generate any pressure; not with four, five or six rushers. DBs cannot knock WRs off of their timing on short routes.  They get burned deep.They can't stop the run. They're just hopeless. It's coaching when a unit cannot do anything well. There are guys out there with talent (enough to at least look half-way competent), it's just being wasted by idiots with a rigid belief in their "system".

 

There's no excuse for giving up 500 yards of offense to a dome team on a wet, soggy grass field. It's just pitiful. Total incompetence.

Comper's defenses since winning the Super Bowl (based on ypg-nflstats.com):

2011-  32nd ranked
2012- 11th
2013- 25th
2014- 15th
2015- 15th
2016- 22nd

Average over those six years: 20th

Comper's postseason rankings since the SB year:

2011- 8th ranked defense (out of 12 teams)
2012- 11th
2013- 7th
2014- 7th
2015- 10th
2016- 12th (dead last)

He had two really good defenses (2009, 2010) but he's been downright mediocre to awful since....yet he's the longest tenured DC in the league.

His predecessor, Bob Sanders, was fired after three seasons. From 2006-2008 Bob's defenses ranked 12th, 11th and 20th.  I'm not arguing that the Packers should have kept Sanders, he clearly needed to go, but Comper's has been much worse since 2011.

The only upshot to Rodgers getting hurt is that we most likely won't have to watch another Comper's playoff implosion, and it'll make it easier for MM to send Compers into retirement when the season is over....not that MM will pull the trigger. 

I like MM and I think he's a really good coach, but like others have said, if he doesn't jettison Compers by next season, he should go too.
