"What did anyone expect?

The National Football League's worst-ranked defense during the regular season went out and stunk up the place in the playoffs Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

"We had a bad year," defensive end Ryan Pickett conceded after the Green Bay Packers were dismissed by the New York Giants, 37-20, in an NFC divisional game. "We just didn't put it together this year."

Coordinator Dom Capers tried a novel approach during the open week, showing all 25 of his players the tape of their worst plays. His position coaches met with their players in somewhat of a desperate attempt to turn the unit around.

As expected, it didn't work. The second-worst defense in NFL history based on yards allowed gave up 420 more to the Giants. The worst pass defense in NFL history yielded 325 more through the air."
