Noteworthy: In a five-day stretch, the Packers played 161 defensive snaps in two games combined, including Sunday’s tie against the Minnesota Vikings. Only Burnett played all 161 snaps. Hawk played 159 and Williams 157. ... Datone Jones played his lowest percentage of snaps (15 percent) this season in part because defensive coordinator Dom Capers did not use his dime package, which features Jones as an inside pass-rusher. ...

Hmmmm...Wonder why some of these guys looked a little off their game.
Bottom line, The defense played twice the number of plays against Detroit.
Early on when they did make plays creating turnovers, the offense could not sustain any type of a drive to eat up some clock and put points on the board.
Then when The Packers Turnovers started, it just compounded the problem, throw in the fact that Special Teams were giving up a couple of big returns and it becomes pretty clear the defenase was put in really bad situations and cuuldn't overcome them,
I'm not giving The Defense a pass, but I hope some of you come to the realization that when 2 of the 3 parts of the team show absolutley nothing the 3rd part is going to break down at some point.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
