Actually, the gap seemed to get wider last year. The Packers swept the Bears and Lions last year with relative ease. In 2010, they split with them both, and needed close wins at home to do that.
Tottally different circumstances, TT was in the process from rebuilding the team when he selected Rodgers. He is no longer in rebuilding mode and the time is now which is why you've seen him more active in FA this year. We are currently a top 3 offense and we have youth at practically every position. On defense we gave up the most yards per game in the past 30 of ANY NFL team and ranked 27th in sacks. We also have some aging starters who are on the down side of their career. If our first three selections are not all on defense I will be shocked, unless a absolute stud falls to us.
