We'll have to see where ESPN and SI have the Pack. -
Right now I would put the Cowboys, Giants, Steelers, and maybe the Eagles ahead of the Packers.
Packers have only beaten the Lions and Vikings...this weeks game against the Cowboys will show me a lot about this team.I am better looking than you.Comment

Still, you gotta say OMG! Think back only 3 regular games ago and the Pack were rank outsiders. Except for the championship game, nobody in commercial sports gave this team a #1 ranking.
Gaudy stuff.Comment

ya, I agree. And the Pats might be better too. Cassel ain't bad, and will get better with some experience.Originally posted by arcilite

The Pack are not the best team in football...my favorite...but not the best. We need to beat a decent team before we crown em!Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

I heard some announcers say he hadn't started a game since HS? He went through college, and got into the NFL w/o starting? How the F do you do that???Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby
Looked at his Wiki entry, and see he backed up a couple of pretty highly touted guys, but it's something else that NE took a flier on him. What did they do, look at his HS film?--

Iwould love to see a win but just don't expect the Pack to stop the Cowboys. More then anything else, I'm anxious to see how Rodgers does against the #1 rated team. Enjoyed the game last night, but strange how McNabb has a hard time finishing games in the 4th. qtr. However their play calling was terrible and not McNabb's fault.Been there done that!Comment

I think Silver is just trying to get a jump on the competition. The Cowboys are rated 1st by espn and cbs, and if we beat them on Sunday, the Packers will have earned that top spot in their rankings as well. So, Silver's statement just means that he's picking us over the Cows this week.Originally posted by Freak Out
It kind of makes me nervous though. I prefer having the Pack stay under the radar. To be acknowledged as a strong team this early in the season is odd, to say the least.Comment
-
It's odd for sure and we've played well as underdogs but at some point, ewe want this team to be the favorite week in and week out. That's what being a good team is all about ... not tons of questions. Hopefully we can get there soon.Comment

It never ceases to amaze me how some teams are consistently perceived as being better than their performances warrant and others are consistently perceived as worse than their performances warrant.
What have the Cowboys done to deserve all the accolades the last 2 seasons? What have they really proven? Sure, they beat the Packers last year, but Woodson, KGB, and Jolly did not play. Favre went out early. The Cowboys, as I recall, were fairly healthy.
The Packers have been required to prove themselves continuously for the last season and a half. The are perceived as good, but with a lot to prove. The Cowboys are presumed great. Why is that?
The Cowboys were trashed by NE last year, beat a wounded Packer team and split with the Eagles. Both the Packers and Cowboys were 13-3 last year. Both were beaten at home by the Giants in the playoffs. The Cowboys just snuck past the Eagles last night.
I think the Cowboys have as much to prove as the Packers do.Comment
