OK. So, I'll wait until after the Patriots game to make that call... [boxing]

They played 3 teams that now (over half way through the year) that have winning records. They lost all three times.

We're currently 1-2 against teams with winning records.

Zero, I love how you can simultaneously run threads in which one ranks the packers as the best team in football and the other labels them pretenders. [duh]

Fact is, only ONE team and its fans will be happy at the end of the season.
So much can happen between now and the end of the season. Injuries and so on.
So the guys that seem to be "elite" right now might not be at the end of the year.
The Packers of 2010, who really thought they would go all the way?
Everything can change and it COULD happen again!

Do you think the Packers are contenders? I lean a little more towards pretenders right now than I would contenders. It's not a huge sway or nothing, if I have to put a value on it. 60 pretenders 40 contenders.

Right now, here are the playoff standings.
1 Arizona 8 1
2 Detroit 7 2
3 Philadelphia 7 2
4 New Orleans 4 5
5 Dallas 7 3
6 Seattle 6 3
7 Green Bay 6 3
8 San Francisco 5 4
9 Minnesota 4 5
10 Carolina 3 6 1
11 Atlanta 3 6
13 St. Louis 3 6
14 NY Giants 3 6
15 Washington 3 6
16 Tampa Bay 1 8

The 49ers and Seahawks are most likely going to make it. 49ers are gonna get some guys back soon and go on a run. That leaves winning the division against the Lions or the last wild card spot.

We have a lot of games to play yet so most anything can still happen. Hell, Packers could run the table and get home field throughout. That's fine, as long as 49ers or Giants don't show up.

Pats fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the KC game.

Broncos fans we probably calling them Pretenders after the Pats game.

Seahawks fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the Rams game.

All the contenders have had let downs or will have let downs as having all the pieces of the puzzle just doesn't happen in the salary cap era.

Our Defense is not where it should be, but we stopped an excellent RB this past week. Can we do it against Philly and their talent? I don't know, but I think at home we can run the table which should mean playoffs. After that we cast our lot and hope that Mike and Dom have our guys prepared.

We need to get the running game going. That is my only concern with the Offense with the weather declining over the next few weeks.
