A look at the Packers’ Rankings

Posted by mikemarit on December 3, 2009

Here are the Packers’ rankings in a variety of statistics that I thought were pretty interesting…

Turnover margin (+17)…No. 1
Total offense (382.0) …No. 6
Passing yards (262.8)….No. 6
Total defense (281.5)…No. 1
Rushing defense (89.1)…No. 4
Passing defense (192.5)…No. 6
Third-down offense (45.7%)…No. 5
Third-down defense (33.3%)…No. 4
Red-zone offense (52.6%)…No. 15
Red-zone defense (63.3%)…No. 29

The one stat that sticks out the most for me is the red-zone defense is ranked 29th and the red-zone offense is ranked 15th. I would have guessed that the red-zone defense would be much better than the red-zone offense for the Packers. Lately it seems like the offense can’t get into the end zone when they are sitting in the red-zone.

I’m guessing we helped our red zone defensive stats on Monday night with Woodson’s amazing trip of the running back at the 3, which set up Williams’s interception of Flacco’s flaky pass.

Williams scares me a little though. I think Bush is better, though Bush is a little shorter and maybe more vulnerable?

Bring on the hapless Bears!

That high red zone defense percentage includes field goals allowed doesn’t it? We’re ok stopping the touchdowns, but not so ok preventing field goals. We overcome that deficiency with our high scoring offense though.
