Exactly. Everyone is focusing on Brett Favre and the offense but it is Green Bays defense that is really winning games for them this season. Favre has been playing very well, largely because he is making better decisions with the ball and not turning it over (until the end of Bears game). Obviously the Skins D is central to their success and will be this whole season, but their ability to establish a running game and for Jason to make good decisions against the best secondary he has faced this season will be the real key. The Packers secondary, corners especially, are very physical and they seemed to play a lot of man coverage against the Bears. Hopefully Moss will play and Campbell will finally connect on one of those deep balls. Still my point is that the Lions defense, secondary especially, is atrocious. Jason's play was very encouraging, but the Packers provide a much better test this week. Tough game at a tough venue. Skins 17, Packers 13
