The more I think about it, GB has the best secondary in their division and would if they played in the NFC South, NFC West, AFC West and AFC East.

Just wondering, what are the secondaries you would put above Green Bay?

I know you're not asking me but now i think about i'd say only Tennessee have a better secondary.

The homer in me would also like to say a healthy Colts secondary is very good at doing what they're asked.

Except for Philly and possibly Pitt and Tennessee not a single team in the NFL.

Every big game i've seen, they get trashed. I don't care where the hell you rank them individually, i've seen them get beaten like dirty rugs more than a few times in big situations to make me think they're overrated.

I think we're all forgetting about the Jets'.

Are you thinking about the pre Woodson secondary or some of the big plays that happened when we didn't have a pass rush? Because otherwise I don't see how that makes much sense. As an outsider looking in it would still be pretty hard to find 5 teams with a better secondary than us.

but that was more of an DLine issue with you guys. Brees is lethal when he has some time to throw. He is able to kill gods if he has all day to throw.

Everyone gets beaten sometimes, hell there's plenty of games where randy Moss' stats have read 1 rec 12 yds or where Manning has thrown multiple INTs, or brady for that matter.

The thing is a few bad games does not a team make.

The big GB secondary flop that sticks out in my mind is the Giants playoff game in 07, but to be fair that's some distance away now.

I do think the Pack have a top 5 secondary, and probably even a top 3, but I really can't put anybody above the Titans right now. I think their safeties are superb and they have a shut down corner to throw in on top of that. The Raiders are surprisingly sharp here too, Chris Johnson has really developed into an ace across from Nnamdi, and Routt at nickel. Huff may be coming around at FS too.

I think the big thing is that their DL has struggled a fair bit the last couple of years, the secondary does all that can really be asked of it, it applies for every team, if you give a QB 5+ seconds he should hit an open target because someone should get open.

Personally I think that Pittsburgh is better for sure. I quite like Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, Carolina, Philly and the Jets, basically the amount of pass rush those teams get will pick their order. Vikings, if healthy should be much improved this year simply by getting rid of Sharper but I don't see us on the same level though our DL can help inflate the backs.
