Obviously a loss will set off alarm bells. A close, struggling win will be worrisome. A clear-cut decisive victory will put the Pack back on the short list of championship contenders.   The Jets won't be a pushover but they should be a manageable, beatable opponent; especially with the Packers holding home field. They play strong run defense and can rush the passer but their secondary is vulnerable to a quarterback and offense such as the Packers have.    As usual we will wonder about our defense. New York can run but if they have to win with their qb passing they'll be in trouble. The offense coming out strong and getting in front may be the best chance the defense has.    If history is any clue the Packers have been excellent in Week Two games since Aaron Rodgers has been qb. They're 5-1 in the second week of regular season since 2008, 4-1 at Lambeau and they've won their Week Two games the past two seasons after losing the opener.     I think we'll see a solid performance, reminiscient perhaps of last year's romp over Washington and RG III in Week Two at Lambeau. Then two shoot-out wins on the road against Detroit and Chicago and back at home to take Minnesota.The natural order in the NFC North should be pretty well straightened out by then.</blockquote>
