There is always room for improvement, I know, I know. But as of right now, the Packers pretty much playing perfect football? I agree Dallas and Minnesota suck but they are still talented teams.

Passing game - check
Running game - check
O-Line - check
Passing D - check
Run D - check
Ability to get turnovers on D and avoid turnovers on O - check
Special teams - check (I know we don't have the Hester type but I'm just glad we're not giving up those special teams TDs)

I honestly think we are pretty much playing flawless. If the SuperBowl was tomorrow, I'd take us over just about everyone on a neutral field.

Congrats to Mike McCarthy on the past few weeks, he deserves a lot of credit and I am one of his biggest critics. The whole team is on fire. Of course its the NFL and teams look good one week and crap the next (e.g. Pats v. Browns). But for now, lets enjoy.

And good for Rodgers to get to beat Favre twice, its a team game and all that but it still matters - congrats. He deserves it, he handled the whole Favre saga with class all of the last 6 years, even when the Packers lost twice to the Vikings last year and he could have thrown the O-line under the bus - he didn't.

Our running game is nowhere near perfect. That negative thing being said we are playing GREAT football. It is so awesome to have such a good, classy team producing. What a turnaround from 5 weeks ago. WOW. Loving every moment of this win streak. Go Pack Go!

Let's wait to see how they do against Atlanta, a team with a winning record not in the middle of a collapse. Yes, the Packers have looked great the past couple weeks, but now we get to see how they do against some big time teams.

What we have witnessed the last two weeks is a team(Packers) , although not playing perfect football, they are playing dominant football over teams that had their hearts ripped out of them and left them lying on the field.

You could see it happening the last 2 weeks(games), both The 'Boys and 'Queens came out fighting, but by the 2nd quarter of each game they lost their will to compete.

In the past there was always that chance of making the big comeback,forcing the Packers into mistakes, turnovers, but this Packer team, right now,is a much better team than before,

We all seen it start 3 games ago against The Jets, although the offense struggled they did enough to win with the defense dominating. IMHO the windy conditions didn't help the O any.

Since losing to The Packers, The Jets have had 3 comeback victories against lesser teams. Which is a sure sign The Packers win was not a fluke.

I agree, enjoy todays win, Aaron Rodgers and in fact the whole team have finally got that monkey off their backs, enjoy it now, but Atlanta is waiting and they will be tough to beat at home. Will be a fun game to watch.

Damn it is good to be a Packer fan right now!!!!!

They've cut way down on the penalties too.

We've allowed 10 total points in the past 3 games.

One game at a time. Time to hit the Falcons hard. The Falcons are in our way of home field advantage. Let's beat them by 20+ points.

Perfect football? Not perfect. We took awhile to get going but once we did, we killed the Vikings. Our D is pretty near perfect. Favre had no time and if I'm not mistaken, the first five times he went back to pass, we hit him. That kind of set the tone for Favre the whole game. He knew he was going to get hit whenever he went back to pass.

I agree with coltonja. The running game is far from perfect. But everything else has been clicking these past two games. And they are peaking at the right time. There are three very tough games coming up soon, though. At Falcons, at Patriots, and the Giants at home.

I am cautiously optimistic. I normally don't think to far in the future, but I feel very good about the Packers. You know, I normally am objective in picking games. Anyone in the pick em league can see that. I don't put on the green and gold glasses. With that in mind, I fully expect the Packers to beat Atlanta. That's how good I think they're playing right now.

It looks like preseason.

What i liked the most was, Mike McCarthy didn't go into the "play not to lose" mode he's done in the past. He kept his foot on the gas, and kept after them
To me, that's HUGE.
It shows a different mindset, which i LOVE.
Don't give your opponent ANY hope of coming back.
