Despite playing great offense, the Packers own the worst defense in the league in 2011 which allowed over 400 yards per game. With the additions of players such as Mario Manningham and Randy Moss, San Francisco provided Alex Smith with more weapons and there should be a clear improvement for an offense that ranked 26th overall on 2011.
