Well, the only way I could accept this argument is if the Packers aren't as good as I thought, and I'm not convinced - YET - that is the case.
(...)
If this was in the off-season of even during the pre-season I would have agreed with you - hands down, but ... Given the last 4 games ... it would appear that the Packers are indeed not as good as "everyone" think they are ...
Now assuming that the Packers win their next two games (against the Lions and the Browns, - 2 games, where I only pick the Packers as "sure winners" against the Browns ...) they will be 4-2 going into:
@Green Bay versus Minnesota
Unless something seriously changes in the next 2 weeks my bet would be on the Vikings on this ...
- a loss (4-3)
@Green Bay versus San Fran
Before having seen 49'ers last game, I would have said the 49'ers would give the Packers a "run for their money", however ... now I'm more inclined to think the Packers will win this one ...
- a win (4-4)
@Green Bay versus Baltimore
The Packers really need to step up big and get their defense as well as offense in shape to win this one ...
- a loss (4-5)
@Green Bay versus Seattle
Based on Seattles last game ... it would seem that Hasselbäck has returned rejuvenated ... - could go either way ...
- 50/50 (so we'll call it a draw either being 5-5 or 4-6)
@Pittsburgh
You are right, the Steelers are not what they were last season, however, as a team I still think they are better than the Packers currently are ... at this point I'm inclined to go with the Steelers ...
- a loss (5-6 / 4-7)
@Arizona
At this point I believe the Packers to be able to win this one ...
- a win (6-6 / 5-7)
As always we can only speculate, however, - I just don't see the return of Clifton and Tauscher being the "definite" answer to the problems the Packers are currently facing ...
The upcoming game against the Lions is a "tough" one, because it's a "no-win" situation ... - Even if the Packers win - the questions still remain, because Packers are "supposed" to win this one ... And if the Packers lose ... well ... that should speak for it self ...
