The real Packers have showed their hand. Too many fans here are giving the Niners credit. No, the Niners are good, but that's it. They're not gonna win the conference. It's just the Packers are an average team.

If Rodgers is who I believe him to be this is exactly the kind of game I am dying to see. The Bears are coming off a mopping up of a team that has a terrible defense and a rookie QB and are very confident, and the Packers are coming off a very disappointing and underwhelming game against a good D and an offense that exploited our D's weakness.
How the Packers, as a team, respond to a defeat that was so obviously done by a team that outplayed them will show their true colors. Our rush defense will have to show up and prove to the league that they can control the line of scrimmage, which to me is the game really and the place where the real battle is going on on Sunday's. Rodgers is a leader and, maybe even more importantly, pissed off at how he and the offense executed. This is my basic argument- what separates a good team from a great team is how they respond to adversity.
Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!
