Let’s Pile On The Packers

It hasn’t been a good time to be a Packers fan lately. Two weeks ago they were stomped on by the traitorous Brett Favre. Last week they gave up 38 points to the previously winless Buccaneers. The weather forecast says it’s going to rain this weekend. Bleah. Green Bay is starting to look like one of “those teams” in the NFL...which could provide a great opportunity for fantasy owners.

Right now, the Packers are unable to stop teams from catching the ball in their end zone. Statistically they look like one of the better defenses, but they have given up 16 passing touchdowns this season, including seven in the past two games. Compare that to the three rushing touchdowns they’ve allowed this year. That 16 to 3 difference of passing touchdowns allowed to rushing touchdowns allowed is the biggest gap in the NFL. There are worse passing defenses, but no defense has been as one-dimensional as the Packers.
