Pre-Draft NFL Lineup Rankings ... A Surprize At The Top.

I agree the defense did not play well. I haven't watched the game again, but my impressions at the time were that we lost because we turned the ball over and blew a couple of key plays on defense. 'Humiliated' is a bit strong, especially for a 14 point road playoff loss and when you think about the 37-20 home beatdown by NYG in 2011 or the 48-21 beatdown GB gave in ATL 2010.
.

The 9ers beat us, hands down. The Giants game was more of a fluke. It was clear which team was better on the field in the 49ers game. In the Giants game, it was just a poor showing by us, with a bunch of unforced errors and the Giants getting a freebie TD at halftime.

Packers results:

If it's loaded in terms of results; and adversity or injuries being the reason for those results. If all blame is based in adversity?

The next point of discussion is depth. Part of that... that depth takes time and experience to develop.

Focused on those criteria:

The Packer Way is best in terms of future playoff appearances.

I believe that Ted Thompson must realize that alot has to go perfect. In order for us to win the Super Bowl next season. With a HOLD based on that. It's time to focus on making the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews happy as household names for Green Bay Packer fans.That he has to consider BJ Raji in a similiar light.

I hope that after all that cost, that Jordy Nelson and James Jones etc. in the future are realistically, in that same conversation.

GO PACKERS!

Things have to go just about perfect for ANY team to win the superbowl. The days of the Cowboys just crushing the competition, or the 49ers winning for years is over.

i would put us as the #2 or 3 team in the nfc right now. although i do think it is tough to gauge where we are without jennings, woodson, driver, ect.

i think we can beat (on any given sunday) the seahawks, falcons and the redskins, vikings, bears etc.

i do think we would need help (major injury problems) to pass up the 9ers and we have all kinds of problems with the giants (although they have also lost some key pieces)
