Comparing the Packers Defense to the Juggernauts in Seattle and San Francisco

ALLGBP.com All Green Bay Packers All the Time
Seahaws CB Richard Sherman gave a postgame interview after his team won the NFC Championship game that would’ve fit well into one of the Godfather movies.

An email exchange among Jersey Al and the ALLGBP.com crew during the NFC championship game between the Seahawks and 49ers got me thinking about the Packers defense compared to the two defensive units we saw on the field in Seattle on Sunday.

The Seahawks defense is like The Godfather: Tough, gritty, innovative, in-your-face, shocking at times and wildly entertaining.

The 49ers defense is like the The Godfather Part II: Unique, equally as tough, maybe a little sleeker, and just as shocking.

The Packers defense is like The Godfather Part III: A few decent moments, but mostly hated by fans of the Godfather franchise, boring, dated, slow and frustrating.

If there are any mafia Dons among the millions of Packers fans throughout the world, perhaps one of them could make the 49ers or Seahawks an “offer they couldn’t refuse” to swap defenses with the Green and Gold.

When you were watching the Seahawks and 49ers defenses on Sunday, what came to mind when you compared them to the Packers D?

  1. It was pretty amazing the Packers got in the playoffs at all considering the close games they won with AROD out & the Rodgers/Cobb pass in the Bear game. They actually could have won the 49er game if Hyde hangs on to the interception in the 4th quarter. So all in all it wasn’t that bad a year with all the injuries.
    The Packers have a host of relatively high draft picks that haven’t gotten to the next level for one reason or another on both sides of the ball. This has hurt late in the season when we need these guys to play their best football if you’re going to make the final charge. That being said, I just don’t think the Packer defense plays with the intensity of either the 49er’s or Seahawks. There’s something missing.
