Hi everyone, this is my first thread so hopefully i wont get beat up too badly here. However, i was doing a little research getting ready for this sunday's game and found an interesting little tidbit that I haven't heard much talk about. All week we've heard about how great the Packers passing attack is, but what no-one has looked at, is the current rankings of the pass defenses Farve and the Pack have gone up against. Without further ado, this is what I found and the point being; I really like how our secondary matches up with this pass-first offense. It seems as if everyone is scared to say that maybe farve and the packers offense is over-rated, but I'll come out and say just that. Very similiar to detroit's record coming into last week's game.

the current pass-defense rankings of the team's the Pack have faced (by YPG)..

week 1: Philly: Farve 206 yds (0 TD, 1 INT), philly ranks 21st
week 2: NYG: Farve 286 yds (3 TD, 1 INT), nyg ranks 20th
week 3: SD: Farve 369 yds (3 TD, 0 INT). SD ranks 27th
week 4: Minn: Farve 344 yds (2 TD, 0 INT), Minn ranks 30th
week 5: Chicago: Farve 322 yds (1 TD, 2 INT), Chicago ranks 26th

Hail.

impressive first blog, yeah....they could be overraded just like the lions....however, their defense does make up for much of the difference

Yeah, but you could say that GB had a little bit to do with why those pass defense ratings are what they are. Goes both ways.

Yeah, they had an effect on 20% of those teams ratings. That doesnt make the point invalid.

Welcome, InGibbs....and good first!
Your correct, it is an interesting point. I to, like the way we match up. If we do our job, we may see a little of the Brett we love, with four or five int's

fantastic stat and welcome. i wonder if you removed the games that the pack played against those teams, if it would significantly raise their ranking. I don't have a clue but with only 5 games one game can put down an average quite a bit. Regardless, we will see how they play against the #3 D

Good post. I think the test this week will be to see if Campbell and the offense can control the ball against a Packers defense that is the best group we've faced. In spite of these numbers, I still think we need to lean heavily on the ground game. This sure would be a nice week for Portis to get over the 100 yard mark. It's a lot easier to win road games if you don't have to throw much.

Anyone feel like showing us what the Lions first opponents pass defenses looked like?

Excellent first post. Most regulars don't put that much effort into threads. Well done and welcome.

I echo the sentiments of the board. I think it is a telling stat, but a bit inflated because of what the Pack could have done to their D rankings.

It is the whole issue of the direction of causality. Is X causing Y or vice versa.
