If the playoffs started today, Packers (7 - 3) would visit Atlanta (4 - 6) in the playoffs. Remember how that went in 2010? :)

The Eagles game was a very top to bottom win and it sure looks like the defense is starting to come together. I'm definitely starting to get the fever now.

So far so good!

Let's maintain this next week against the Queens, then we have another "test" game against New England. Should build our confidence if all goes well.

Next week we will see if they are capable of playing this way outside of Lambeau. Even knowing that Minnesota is not a strong team right now, to play at a high level on the road would be encouraging.

The difference between a contender and a pretender is determined by playing against a high quality opponent - which ironically is just around the corner. A win against the Pats would be huge for a defense that people (including me) have been questioning the past few seasons.

Things are looking up as of late. At least I can give my co-worker a hard time tomorrow, as he has been bragging up his Eagles all season.

The Packers host the NE Patriots on Nov. 30th . The game will answer this threads big question. I believe that the Packers can win this game, but only if they can harass Tom Brady. It is the key element to defeating the Patriots. The game will rest with the defence.

I am more sold in the thorough top to bottom Eagles domination than I am concerned about a 3 point win over division rivals. It did appear the Packers played down to their competition a little. And it seemed they were forcing the run, and it worked.

I'm still leaning more towards CONTENDER than pretender.

If the Playoffs started now, Packers have 2nd seed.

I love the streak we've been on but get real for a few seconds...

Jay Cutler...Mark Sanchez and Teddy Bridgewater? LOL.

The Saints and Drew Brees just destroyed us. In fact, New Orleans scored more points vs. the Packers than in any other game this season including the putrid Bucs when they mustered 37.

The Bengals and Ravens both went into New Orleans and beat them...the Bengals soundly so. Only impressive Saints win all season was vs. the Packers. Otherwise, the Panthers, Bucs, and Vikings.

So, the Saints are a BAD football team and put 44 on us. Why? They have a real QB...we haven't played many of those all season. Brees might be the only legit one and he destroyed us.

The Patriots are a much better football team than we've faced all year and Tom Brady is not going to miss WR's like the slop we've seen play against us the past few weeks.

Love the move of Matthews inside. Genius. I'm not sure that's enough vs. a team like New England.

This is the kind of game you have to at least compete in to prove you're worthy of the praise you've been receiving. Only after a game like this can you truly get excited about what this team is or might be...not before like some of you have taken the bait on, anointing this team way too soon.

The Pats could very well leave Lambeau a victor of 21+ points...then what? R-E-L-A-X because we don't have to face another team with a great QB for the rest of the regular season?

I'm curious to see what we are on Sunday. I don't feel real good about what our D is going to do and I'm concerned about our O as well.

It was probably a few avatars ago, but you had one that was really awesome. I think it was a shield or something like that.


Losing to the Patriots by 20+ isn't the end of the world. Losing by 20+ to the Patriots and failing to rebound, now that would be a problem.

No, not Ted anything. It was just a very well designed graphic. I can't picture fully enough to describe, but I remember seeing it and each time thinking "now that's a nice graphic". I believe it had the Packers logo on it and was gray-ish.


BTW, these power rankings are spot on accurate. Notice no one wants to chirp up now. HA!

    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
