They had a VERY GOOD team last year.......what is so surprising?
Granted they have some weaknesses in their secondary, but their offense is 100% healthy now and may be the best starting 11 overall in the game.
Their young recievers are blossoming(Driver, Ferguson, and Walker) into quality recievers.

I think Green Bay and Vikings are the teams to beat in the AFC. Green Bay has the best offensive line in all of football and IMO the best runner in all of football in Ahman Green who had 1883 and 5.3 yds per carry. They also have Favre who is certainly one of the most experienced and one of the best QB in the game and He has some very good receivers..
In short, GB is a Super Bowl contender but it will have to step it up on the defensive end.

any team that can pound the ball up the gut against carolina on their home turf like GB did all last night is a SB contender.. .throw in the fact they have the "master of deception" in brett favre (did you see that beautiful fake to buy that extra split second of time on that last TD!?) and there you go.
They have an all-world saftey in Sharper and an all-pro LB in Barnett and a couple other above average defensive players
After that, they are very average at BEST defensively.
The Packers are my favorite team and follow them real close.........this defense is not SUPER BOWL calibur and defense wins championships 19 out of 20 times.
They do however have a new defensive coordinater(thank God), that seems will be aggressive.

SHRINK ARE YOU SURE ABOUT FAVRE BEING A GOOD GUY? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE STORY THAT RAN IN THE PHILLY PAPERS BACK IN JANUARY:
_______________________________________________
Family tree
FATHER:
Irvin Favre. As a high school football coach, he helped Southern Miss violate NCAA rules to recruit his son.
WIFE: Deanna. He got her pregnant when he was 18, and she was 19. Married her seven years later.
BROTHER: Scott. Killed a family friend when he drove his car into a railroad crossing and got hit by a train. Jailed for DUI.
SISTER: Brandi. A Mississippi beauty queen, arrested for shoplifting.
Model citizen
In 1992, Favre was arrested after a barroom brawl in Hattiesburg, Miss., that began when he was arguing with the future Mrs. Favre. A bystander tried to intervene, and soon Favre was wrestling him to the floor. Favre was charged with drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and profanity.
Pillhead
Favre was a substance abuser in the mid-1990s. In 1996, he announced he was addicted to Vicodin, a prescription pain-killer.
The NFL sent him to the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kan., to dry out. Favre now says he's sober.
Mentor
"The biggest problem wasn't getting the pills down, it was keeping them down. I'd go into the bathroom, take a big slug of water, and try swallowing a handful of pills. Most of the time, I'd just throw them right back up and they'd land on the floor. No big deal. I'd just pick the pills out of the vomit, rinse them off, and try again."
- From "Vicodin, Rehab and Beer. Hey, It Won Me a Super Bowl," an excerpt from Favre's 1998 autobiography, "Favre: For The Record," published in Esquire magazine
Caring father figure
During his Vicodin addiction, Favre went into a seizure in front of his 7-year-old daughter. While watching her dad convulsing, the child screamed, "Is my daddy going to die? Is my daddy going to die?"
A reformed man
Favre was sprung from rehab after lying to his counselors. In his autobiography, he brags:
"Finally, I told them what they wanted to hear: that I was a drug addict and I needed help. Sure enough, a week later they said, 'We think you're ready to leave.'
"...Then I walked out the door and was like, 'Screw you.' "
Dork
He's a clubhouse prankster who's been known to put Heet ointment in players' jockstraps and shaving cream in their helmets. Once, he doused his own roommate with a bucket of ice water while he was on a commode.
If he wasn't making $10 million a year, somebody would've already pushed him off a tall building.
Hollywood star
In his best-known screen role, "There's Something About Mary," he somehow manages to lose Cameron Diaz to Ben Stiller. In the lesser-known "Reggie's Prayer," Favre plays a janitor in an all-star cast that includes M.C. Hammer, Reggie White, Mike Holmgren and Pat Morita.
A gentleman
Favre likes to fart. A lot. He told Playboy:
"If I'm on a golf outing with [Dan] Marino and [Jim] Kelly and they're getting ready to hit, I'll rip a big fart. They say, 'That's awful!' But why? Everybody does it. Just because you're a professional athlete or a politician doesn't mean you stop taking dumps and scratching your ass. Of course, there's a time and place for humor like that. I don't go to corporate events, where everyone is in a suit and tie, and start cutting farts. Not loud ones, anyway."
Wuss
Brett is scared of the dark. He sleeps with a light on.

Tommy-
This is precisely why he is so admired and respected.
He has overcome tremendous obstacles and demons in his life and has turned his life around.
He hasnt had a drink in years for one thing and he is also now a happily married with two children.
Farve is a tremendous role model ........for anybody, children or adults.

It is only one game why do these tings always happen after a game or two? Utah is going to win a BCS bowl game too I guess.
They did OK, Those two turnovers had quite abit to do with that win as anything did.
It looked to me like Car defense quit in that game. They were tackling for shit, and they were running one of the softest schemes I had ever seen. I think anyone could have run on them the way they were lining up. It looked like they were in the nickle every frigging down. Plus where were the blitzes and stunts these guys were running last year? They were opening up holes you could have driven a truck through.
Offensively they weren't much better. Bad throws and horrible route running. There probably could have been a couple more INTS had the GB secondary not dropped them. Plus what the F*** was that bullshit on the last drive? You have no time outs and 45 seconds and you run a delayed inside hand off? Looks like they all bet the UNDER in that game.
I laid off the game so I had no bias, but Car looked like they thought they could show up and win, and GB was prepared, but certainly did nothing spectacular.
On the side note, Davis breaking his leg, you might see more quit in this team from here on out. Depending on the severity. But to me they look like a bunch of quitters.
