[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 632717, member: 1242"] Before Chicken Little announces that the sky has fallen let's remember that the season is only at the halfway point. The Packers are 6-2 and tied for first in the NFC North. One year ago at this point they were 5-3, a game behind Detroit in the standings, and just coming off a 44-23 prime time embarrassment in New Orleans. In a first half of the season that saw them get shut down by Seattle and the Lions and just edge by Miami. We've been here before, were maybe even a little worse and wound up coming within seconds of going to the Super Bowl. Things need to be fixed, to be sure. But the Pack is in by no means a desperate situation. Here's the second half schedules of the clubs in competition with the Packers for the division, the playoffs and home field in the playoffs. Minnesota has to play at Oakland, host the Packers, go to Atlanta, host Seattle, travel to Arizona, play at home vs the Giants and Bears and finish at Lambeau. Carolina has some potential trap games at Tennessee, Dallas, New Orleans, the Giants, and at Atlanta while finishing their home schedule with Washington, Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Arizona is, like the Packers, 6-2. They go to Seattle next week, play Cincinnati at home, then have two road games with San Francisco and St. Louis, come home against the Vikings, visit Philly, and host Green Bay and Seattle to close out. The Vikings don't beat good teams on the road and usually don't beat anybody unless their opponent is foolish enough to give away the game to them; as the Bears and Rams did the past two weeks and the Lions and Chiefs did before that.Their offense struggles to score touchdowns and the only game in which they could conceivably be favored as of now is the home game with the Bears. After seeing Denver go into Indianapolis and take their first loss of the season and Tennessee beating the Saints in New Orleans, Carolina could face a trap game at Tennessee next week to become 8-1 and they could be vulnerable on the road against Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta and the Giants. The Cards won't have it easy in their next two at Seattle and with Cincinnati and St. Louis is tough on their divisional opponents, especially at home. The Packers, of course, must get better and take care of their business ahead of them. Win the next four in the division to move to 10-2 and the final month should see them very much alive and well in the title hunt down the stretch. [/QUOTE]
