Is it time for another winner of multiple Super Bowls?

[KYPack]

Who in the NFC scares you? No one in the NFC West and no one in our division. Only two teams that actually have a shot to beat us IMO are the Saints and Falcons and we already saw what ARod did against their defense in the playoffs. Anyone who does not believe we will not be competing for multiple championship are either fooling themselves or does not know anything about football.

Is the NFC East out of business, Brandon?

[Brandon494]

No they aren't but I don't see the Skins, Cowboys, or the Giants competing with us either. Maybe the Eagles.

Has the Packers's unexpected run in last year's playoffs

Huh?

Don't forget we're adding Jermichael Finley and Ryan Grant to the mix this year......

I'm glad they open at Lambeau. But, I hope the coaches and players aren't buying into Brandon's polemic.

- Detroit for one can't be underestimated. Sure they have issues with their secondary and keeping their QB upright, but it's on Turkey Day.
- Tampa only lost out on stats last season. I know it's a home game, but those boys can play.
- It's never easy to win at the Georgia Dome and anybody thinking they won't be looking for revenge doesn't know much about football.

And Chicago games have their own rules.

There's areason the games are played.

Unexpected by mere mortals.

What Rodgers did last year against the Falcons in the playoffs was one game. The Packers went on an incredible run, starting with the Giants in Week 16 and ending in the SB. If it is that team that is going to show up every week in 2011, then yeah, nobody can hold a candle to them. But that team did not show up every week last year and I see no reason to expect it to show up every week this coming season. Nor do I think they can necessarily turn it on and off at will. And if they ever get to the point where they think they can then I will know they cannot.

Tampa? Atlanta? There'll be plenty of competition, Brandon. Plenty.

[Fred's Slacks]

Actually, Philly is the team that scares me the most in the NFC. Ton's of talent on offense, and when Vick is in the zone, he can be almost unbeatable (though that doesn't happen often).

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Dallas will probably be a factor this year as well. I see Dallas, Philly, NO, ATL, STL, and GB as the six teams that make it this year. If not Dallas, TB and maybe a team from our division will take one of the last wild card spots.

I wonder if the Falcons will be all that scary. After they saw what we did to their defense in the playoffs they morgaged their future by upgrading their offense?

Rodgers and our offense did it in the regular season too. Rodgers' fumble into the end zone and another ST meltdown were the reasons we lost that first game.

There were several games where the offense as a whole--or key parts of it--just laid an egg. Such as Mia (Rodgers appeared out of sync with his receivers, defense couldn't stop the run and made Henne look like a professional QB), Wash (passing game still out of sync, pass defense gave up too many huge plays in second half), at Det (OL was absolutely pathetic). You could also argue that the losses against Chi and Atl revealed a team that was better than its opponent but just couldn't put them away.

[get louder at lambeau]

at Det (OL was absolutely pathetic).

Due largely to a lack of decent LG play after Colledge went down to injury. And it doesn't look like Colledge will be back this year. Maybe Lang will step up, but it is yet to be seen if our OL will experience growing pains this year without the guy who was a starter on our OL in 95% of the games over his five years in the NFL. Losing him would not be addition by subtraction, IMO. Not this year, anyway.

[Fritz]

The offensive line experiences growing pains every damn year, it seems.
