Against mediocre competition their numbers are much improved.
Agreed. Vikings were without their starting QB and starting RB. defensively it's not a good team or game to judge improvement on., but it certainly didn't hurt our D units confidence Last ThursdayAgainst mediocre competition their numbers are much improved.

If you would be so kind as to let me add.. That double chin half breed misfit.I agree 100% that instead of anointing the Pack as the chosen team of 2014, let's temper our optimism with the fact that they have struggled against upper level teams and have beaten teams they should beat. Chicago will never get to the top with that punk at QB. Million dollar arm and a 10Cent head. Minnesota and the NY Jests are nothing to brag about beating.
Until the Pack can show that they can win against elite teams, I'm withholding my praise.

MM, TT, and AR may very well be the trio that gets us to pass the Bears in head-to-head win %. I can't wait for that day.
That is one of the most concise and accurate summaries for this date in time I have seen. seriously here TJV I'm not being sarcastic for once in my life.Both the offense and defense were bad against the Seahawks and Lions – and for a half against the Jets. The good news is no matter how a team makes the playoffs, once they’re in its which team is playing the best football that matters. I think the Packers have a decent shot at being that team but IMO improvement is needed on both sides of the ball. The D has to play the run “well enough” against the best teams, and the offensive line has to run and pass block better. BTW I don’t think the current WR corp is up to the standard of past units, even recent ones. But everyone not named Nelson or Cobb has a chance to get better as the season progresses.

Thanks. And thanks for the laugh!seriously here TJV I'm not being sarcastic for once in my life.

I said it 8 months ago and I'll say it again. I have no problem at all with our receiving corp and in fact I'm excited about the group. Packer fans forget that before Jones last couple seasons in GB where he was very good, was a guy that dropped A TON of balls. When he was dropping those balls Driver was still a great player. When he started making all those plays (and more), Driver was on a major decline. There was NOT a very large footprint in time when we had three "great" receivers on this team.
I think we have two great ones now that are literally in their prime and have as much potential for a third great one to rise to the top as we've had since Rodgers time here. We are VERY good at that position now with more ceiling than we've had in a decade.
It's ridiculous to show career stats to try to prove otherwise. For instance, Driver had been "just a guy" for a few years. I think by season's end Rodgers will be more of a threat the double d ever was in his last 2 years.
We had this debate last year and I think Jordy and Cobb are proving some of us correct. Those two are arguably as good as any 1/2 in the NFL right now. As Packer fans sometimes we think we need to try so hard to not be "homers" because we want to appear more enlightened than most fans. Sorry, it's just a fact, Cobb and Nelson are right near the top right now for all 1 & 2s. That alone makes this group special.
Did you read the reports from his coaches on his blocking against the Panthers? That's the best way to get on the field as a TE on this Packer's team. Can't catch many balls if you're not on the field!
Or if you're blocking...lol
