Do the Packers break the top 10 Power rankings with a W?

[RashanGary]

I'm going to vote no. I think they'll average about 11th. I'm sure one or two will rank them in the top 10 but for the most part I think they'll be right on the brink.

[BallHawk]

Depends how the teams in the top 10 do, but I'd most likely say no.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Nice! Except the Ballhawk thing.

[RashanGary]

If we blow them out 27 - 10 and our offense plays well, I could see it. If our offense plays poorly or if it's a close game, I don't see it.

[Lurker64]

I don't see it happening unless the Packers win in impressive fashion against the Giants, say 28-3 or so. I'm happy to win 4-3, and the power rankings don't really matter to me.

Don't take this the wrong way but who cares

I think the polls in college and now the NFL at this early in the season are meaningless, ever heard of the Michigan Wolverines?

That was before the season began. After you see teams, it gets a little more clear. The Wolverines aren't rated very highly now. That's becuase they were exposed. The Packers weren't rated very high in the off season, but now they get a chance to let their play speak instead of know nothing experts. I'd say two games is a lot more accurate of a ranking than before the season begins. Just look at UM's ranking and I think you can see how people can see them for what they are now.

I voted No also, I don't think the people that make the power polls have that much confidence in the Pack.

Last week was a win but all mus agree, it was far from earned. Philly paid us back for the packer playoff loss in Philly.

I say, no. But if they beat the Giants and then the Chargers Top 5 Baby!

Chargers are going to be a huge challenge that I do not think the Packers will win

I really don't think there is one person on here that things we're going to beat the Chargers.

I don't think they will beat the Chargers, but I certainly think they are capable of beating the Chargers. They'd need to put on an effort like the 1995-96 playoff victory against the defending-champion 49ers though. Long drives, turnovers, capitalization on any chance to seize the momentum, etc. I don't think this squad is likely to do that, but it's not unthinkable that they have that in them.

Yeah, we are "capable" of beating the Chargers. If we play like we did against Philly, though, it's going to be ugly. Teams like the Chargers don't make stupid mistakes.

When we play the Chargers, if we can stop LT, which is a BIG if, and can make Rivers pass, our chances of winning increase tremendously. We match-up extremely well against Rivers and Co.

However, if our offense doesn't show improvement this week, we have no chance.

[RashanGary]

I think we'd win one out of ten against the Chargers. We have a VERY slight chance of winnign that game. If we do win that game, I agree that we are top 6 and probably top 2 in the NFC.

I highly doubt we're that good though. I think this team is between 4th and 7th in the NFC.
