I'm thinking the roots of this season go back several years when the Packers started fast and then burned out in the end. Last year, it seemed there was a concerted effort not to do that. This year, it kinda seems like the coaching staff is saying let's not burn out, but let's also not get in a hole, record-wise either. That maybe takes the injuries out of the equation, but it seems more plausible to me than that the team is really no better than it has played the last two weeks.
