Not to be Pollyannish, but I think our defense is really shaping up and the more experience our young wide receivers get the more competitive we will be. We just played two very good teams on the road and were close in both games. Yes I know we got beat, but we didn’t embarrass ourselves as we did against Detroit earlier in the year.

Let’s say we the Dolphins tomorrow, which is a winnable game. And the Seahawks the subsequent Thursday. That would put us at 5-4-1.

We will have some decent momentum heading into the Vikings for a Sunday night match up. If we were to win that game, we would be in the driver seat as the Bears have a very difficult second-half schedule.

It’s easy to be negative, and I think we have justification for being skeptical, but it is always darkest before the dawn and it wouldn’t take all that much to turn this thing around.

The top 6 NFC teams get in... the Packers are currently 10th but they're kinda tightly packed and the Packers play Seahawks, Falcons, Vikings and Bears...

Plus the Bears/Vikings still have to play each other twice and same with Redskins and Eagles... and I'm sure the three talented NFC South teams have more games against each other.

It's not gonna be easy, but if the Packers still control their fate if they can win!


Those the last two weeks, the defense has seemed to start strong and get worn out as the game wore on and the offense started having very short drives. Giving the defense some rest drives might be just as valuable... have some long drives which take up some time.


But it seems like the Packers offense still needs to find it's groove with using Aaron Jones and MVS because others aren't stepping up for the team right now.
