And they came through a lot when it mattered. There haven't been as many "gotta have it" moments this season, thus why I feel like the 4th quarter numbers are skewing the Packers overall ranking.The biggest difference to me in last year to this year is turnovers. I knew just by memory and eye test that the Packers don't force near as many turnovers as last year. And the numbers support that in a big way. 8th in TO's last year and 28th this year.Perhaps though the defense is playing better than some of us are willing to give it credit for when the game is in question. I still don't think the Packers need to go completely soft in 4th quarters, allowing huge point totals.</blockquote>
