That being said, I truely [sic] feel like the Packers are quite lucky that they haven't lost a few of these games and they're not quite as good as their record. I think they can make the playoffs and win a game, but I'm thinking NFC champs game might be the furthest... but that's just my current opinion, who know, if they can get fully healthy then they might be able to catch fire.
This is a great summation.
Holding Chicago to 3 now turns out to have been no big deal. We played the Cowboys without their 2 OT's the win against Detroit was iffy. David Carr gave us the lead at half-time and with Mahommes, we lose to the Chiefs.
We still have not handled no-huddle/hurry up offenses at all and this will be exploited, perhaps as soon as next week with an experienced QB.
We probably aren't as good as our record. Yes, the Saints, 49ers, are likely better at this point.
Conversely, we have an offense without its best receiver, learning a new systems, with a first year, first time head coach. We have 6 new starters on defense and two of the other guys are really young. They are going to make mistakes.
We are in for a very difficult stretch, schedule wise, and we end up at Minnesota and at Detroit. Our defense has to get a helluvalot better....yes. But it has the talent to get better. The offense is starting to click and 12 appears to be back.
I'll take it.
