A lot of folks won't even click this thread because of the name. I will be called a blind homer, or worse. The bottom line is this offense is pathetic, but this defense is for real.
If somehow, the offense can find its way (more of Ross, Core, Malone, Erickson...less of Hill, Lafell, and Kroft) and get rolling again, they could get right back in the thick of things.
Do I think it will happen? Probably not. I am resigned to the fact that Zampese has taken all-pros and made them look like turds. His offenses are gawd awful. But, there is evidence that a lot of teams, even really good teams, have "lulls" in the season where things just aren't firing. Some on defense, some on offense, etc. Rarely is one team all-world an entire season on both sides of the ball.
However, if the defense continues to shine against GB and with the extra time to work on the schematic to attack the weakness of the packers (secondary), they could end up 1-2, with Burfict coming back the following week. A lot of us had them losing to the Packers but beating the Texans. So, beat the Packers and flip it.
No need to comment on what an optimistic loser I am, but I think the anger over the past couple weeks of horrible offense needs to realize that they still have talent and their QB is a proven winner. They aren't done. Not yet.
