Just heard an interesting defensive stat on the Mina Kimes podcast: the Packers defense, if you take out drives that started because of a turnover by the offense, are top 10 in scoring drive percentage allowed. So, the defense is actually really good when you just look at drives that start normally. Over a third of the points given up by the defense have come off opponent drives that began with a turnover. If Love can cut down on the INTs this defense could really start showing out.
Good stuff thanks.
This next part is not a response to yours just general commentary.
We all know that Love has struggled with accuracy this season. Thats caused a lower 62% Completion % and higher 11 INT.
However, look past the bad accuracy that some of was a direct result of missing time and playing gimpy.
19th in Passer rating (Pat is 20th)
18th in total yards
5th in yards per game
7th yards per Pass
#5 in Avoiding Sacks(100 attempt min)
9th in TD
Love is a QB that can play under his standard, but still easily qualify in the Top 50% of the NFL. I truly believe now that he’s healthy, we will begin to see some modest improvements over the next several weeks. I’m not expecting 19:1 TD:INT ratios here. But 100% think he can go INT free for a game or two.
