Fans of the Green Bay Packers and all teams in sports hear the term all the time – "a must-win game' – it gets kicked around far too often. However, as we look at week two for the Green Bay Packers the pattern of years past proves that week two could be a make-or-break week.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a must win - more of a "D must show up" game. As I mentioned in another thread - good opportunity to try some adjustments on run defense.

If you don't look at each and every game as a must win, than you just shouldnt' be playing.

Playing at home against the Jets we'll probably cruise an easy victory.
Fans (me included) will say the real Packers showed up but the reality is that team will still be as bad as we saw them against Seattle.

This happens every single year, we are a very good team just because we have a very good record and then something terrible happens in the playoffs.

The must-win games are the games that we never win: Seattle, San Francisco, New England... The day we win THOSE games will be the day I'll be confident about the SB.

In the meantime I'll hope for another 2010 miracle where all the good teams that could defeat us got knocked out of the playoffs.

Aaron has to show he's not a confirmed coward like Jim Everett, and the defense needs to show they can stop the run.

I would argue that games a lot of people expect you to lose anyway - like Seattle - are the least "must win" games. The games where you just take it for granted you're gonna win - like this Jets game - are pretty close to "must win". That is especially true early in the season when there is still plenty to prove. If we lose this game, we are in deep shit ....... but it's extremely unlikely that will happen.

The only reason it's a must win to me, is because I'm going to be there and I don't want to drive down there to watch them get their arse kicked.
Other than that it's only game 2 of a 16 game regular season.
Although it is one of the 11 games I predicted the Pack to win this year.

I heard on the NFL Network last night that teams that start the season 0-2 have a 12% chance of making the playoffs. Teams that start 1-1 have a 44% chance. I don't know how valid any of that is, but I thought it was interesting.

Makes the game a little more in the category of MUST win.
