I think he was only targeted so much because the D obviously couldn't stop him. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but I definitely think we have more talent on D as compared to last year. Its still unacceptable for one receiver to dominate like that unless it's someone like Calvin Johnson....
I sat him on my fantasy team because I thought the Packers pass D was improved and facing a rookie QB..
Double dumb fart on me.

So what does defensive coordinator Dom Capers think of his defense, which ranks No. 16 in the league?
“I think this: I see the potential there,” Capers said on Monday. “As I look at the last three games, the takeaway opportunities are there. I think we’re getting more consistent pressure on the quarterback than what we did last year. We probably pressured more (Sunday) than we have this year but I like where our percentage of pressure is this year better than I did last year, where you thought you had to pressure to get pressure on the quarterback.
(Andrew) Luck, as we talked about last week, is a talented young man. You saw he’s a big, strong guy. He’s got good movement. There were a couple times where we had him wrapped up and he kind of shook us off and pulled the ball down in a couple of critical situations. A couple other times, he scrambled outside – and that was after taking some pretty good hits.” continue
Watched some of the replay last night & Capers is correct, we have dropped a number of Interceptions. Just like on offense, the opportunities are there, we are just not cashing in on them. DJ Smith looked bad in the 4th quarter on a few plays where he showed a lack of speed, one was on a run outside, where he initially had good containment position but just couldn't get there, another he was blitzing & had a bead on Luck, but again looked too slow to get there.
Held Arian Foster to 29 yards tonight.
Minus Raji. and Perry. and Smith.
Our defense is good.

And the rookies came up huge tonight.
The defense does better when the offense is able to retain the ball longer. Longer drives means more rest for the defense.
