Reasons of Packers' 2016 struggle

Green Bay Packers, the team that makes the history and excellence of its trademark so as to put the "G" of greatness as the franchise's logo, unfortunately for his fans 2016 until now after so many years has been brilliant a rather disappointing year and I avvisole reasons are two: the first definitely not up to a defense of a team that can aspire to the Superbowl, which saw the end of the 13 league week has created only 12 total turnovers, no touchdown scored undergoing a total of 296 points, which I think is a behemoth saw that in their schedule so far have not found three explosive attacks. The main reason why the defense of the Packers so bad is definitely secondary, which in recent years has lost key elements of the caliber Tramon Williams and the current leading the NFL in interceptions Casey Hayward, also Ha Ha Clynton-Dix had problems in creating the turnover he had created in the past by giving an edge to the defense of Dom Capers. As for the attack (not blameless) the running game already low at the start of the season has become nonexistent with the injury Eddy Lacy forcing Rodgers to throw against obviously more careful defenses and formations see Dollar, Big Dime, Nickle , etc. best equipped to counter the aerial game, this has made the task even more difficult in the number 12. Despite all the criticism and difficulties Aaron Rodgers in 12 games he scored stratospheric number: 3283 yards of passing, 29 TD passes, 301 yards rushing, three rushing touchdowns and only seven interceptions, I do not exaggerate when I say that it is a legitimate candidate  to the MVP of the regular season. Some problem of understanding between him there was his receivers, with Nelson falling from a knee injury it took a few weeks before finding the understanding of the past years, however with the other receivers such as Adams and Cobb to the problem my opinion was that unlike Nelson are not excellent "route runners" and against certain types of defense like Minnesota or Houston yards of difference in a track can make the difference between a full and an interception. Green Bay is lucky enough to have it very good teams in their division but no with a dominant record barred from access to the playoffs, are now two races away from the Lions who will also have the benefit of home advantage to the last of their league in direct confrontation with the Packers that for reasons of schedule and performance I think at the end of the season will remain behind the Lions in the rankings, which is why I see Green Bay more likely to the playoffs with the second wild card now is only one race, that of winning NFC North.
