The Packers are the best team in the NFL right now.
Been saying it for 6 weeks.
Not making excuses for them, but all but one of their losses during the season occurred when they had MAJOR injuries.
For example, the Lions on Thanksgiving. Having no Barnett and Sharper in the line-up is a HUGE HUGE HUGE disability to their defense since these are in my mind their top two most important defensive players.
But, even now having stated that they are the best team in the NFL NOW, which I trully believe(maybe NE), the Pack will have a very very tough road to hoe in the playoffs and not sure they can pull it off.
First Seattle will be no pushover in the first round, since the Pack allready defeated them once this season and it is tough to beat a GOOD team twice in the same season. Then asking the Pack to win possibly back-to-back ROAD games at Philly and St. Louis is asking way to much I think.
But the Packers put themselves in this spot and even with the injuries, the Pack and myself cannot use that as excuses.
I think GREAT teams overcome injuries, and I dont regard the current Packer squad as being GREAT. However, when healthy, think they are AS GOOD as any team in the NFL.
Sorry for rambling and sorry for being a homer.
ps- Thought the Red Sox were the best team too this year and they proved me wrong.
Thought IOWA would be USC in the Orange Bowl last year too.......EL WRONGO!
So having said that, do not take more comments to seriously.
pss- HOWEVER, I am right on occassion too, once in awhile.
