The Packers have done well overcoming injuries (kudos to the coaches and players) but they really, really, need to get some players back! Fingers crossed that this injury trend will start to reverse. GPG!

Yes we have a nice record right now but can you name any top quarterback in the league that we have played against this season? (Rothlisberger is obvious in decline.)
I am enjoying the victories as much as anybody but in the back of my mind I know that we have not yet been truly tested by a playoff caliber team .

"The bottom line is this: win. "

100%. Its why i said 2 weeks after a game most people don't remember what happened in those games. Its only the game they are on and onto the next. For example, can anyone tell me what happened in the 49ers game (I don't really need to know, i'm just making a point)? I know we won. And 2-3-4-10 weeks later, that is the only thing that matters.

I guess I shouldn't say its the only thing that matters because, how they won is equally important. In that 49ers game, they led most of the way. Until 37 seconds left in the game. The 49ers took the lead. Most teams that is a loss. But we aren't most teams. We have 12. And he led us to a victory. The fact that this team still fought with 37 seconds and made it look pretty damn easy is so damn impressive.
Things like that can build a teams character. Its the fact that the didn't give up with 37 seconds left.

Forward to this week. This sentence says it all.
"But the best story coming out of that game was the resiliency of the Packers". The Packers are without some major key players. They find ways to win. That is what builds championship caliber teams. Finding ways to win when not everything is perfect. When you are playing with 3rd/4th/5th string players. Finding ways to come back when down late. Those are traits that lead to championships.

"Packers are now 22-4 against the “Midgets Of The Midway” since 2009."

Lets start with saying that's the BEST description of the Chicago Bears I've heard in a long, long, time! The MIDGETS Of The Midway...Priceless Cory...

The Packers have done well to overcome a TON of injuries. The numbers of injuries this year to All-Pro and Pro Bowl players have been unbelievable. Most teams who lose the caliber of players the Packers have would crumble simply because depth would be an issue.

I think it's time those who STILL bag on Gute for not drafting this player or that player, this position or that position, in other words ALWAYS bitch because Gute isn't drafting who THEY think he should draft, should take a look at this team he's constructed and the injuries they've overcome to go 5-1 thus far, and maybe reevaluate what a good job he's done. Or maybe those who are still so critical will NEVER be happy no matter what.

Midgets of the Midway... LMAO...Go Pack Go!!

I think what these games show is the quality of the roster and the quality of the coaching. Before the New Orleans game I made the comment that the Packers' offense has a way of making third string cornerbacks look competent. Now they've flipped the script by having their own third string cornerbacks go out and look competent. And it is the much maligned DL that made it possible in the last game.

One thing I'll quibble with is the quote from Aaron Jones. I don't think this offense has multiple ways to win. It has one way. And getting Mr. Jones involved is that way. He is the key. The point about not facing a top QB is also very much a concern.

Green Bay’s division is pretty weak. No matter the record, win enough to get into the playoffs and hopefully have a stronger roster to compete for the SB….

Should GB have beaten all the teams they have so far? Sure, but football is a game filled with upsets and surprises, and with the injuries GB has had nothing is a given.

What impresses me the most is the WAY the Packers are winning. The offense looks different this year. They're using a lot less fluff/gimmicks, less motion, etc., and guys are still getting open. RBs are still churning yards when teams know the run is coming. A patchwork OL is mostly keeping Rodgers clean and opening running lanes. The defense is doing enough to keep GB in games and, despite hiccups, still making some clutch plays.

These wins haven't been pretty by any means, and it won't be enough against teams like KC, LA, ARI, but they're learning how to grind it out and to play full games, and that is incredibly important.

The team still goes as AR goes. He , the team played bad week one, they got hosed. Since then , AR is playing like an all pro , along with A Jones and Adams. The Packers have the BIG 3. Also the front 7 is a lot better, especially up the middle, FINALLY! Maybe, just maybe, playing all these young guys in the pre season has paid off?

"best cornerback in Jaire Alexander and another starting cornerback in Kevin King."

This made me laugh.

Winning even when riddled with injuries and missing key players can galvanize a team but there is a key player the Packers are missing that will be their undoing... a #2 receiver. Without a #2 receiver, and there isn't an NFL-caliber one on this team, the Packers will have to be lucky to win in the playoffs.

Kind of bad timing this year maybe to have bye so late in season. All seems to be timing!

The Packers are emblematic of an NFL team with great coaching and impressive depth of good football players.

Gutey and his staff have drafted good players and landed talented FAs. Matt and his coaches are getting players to perform at a high level (exception are ST return and cover teams...consistently poor). Team just needs antibodies for the injury bug.

Starting to feel like 2010?

This team is proving which has been known for at least a decade, that they're the best in the Division and will again walk into the playoffs, as long as Rodgers is the QB. The disappointments come after that heroic achievement, like beating up little brother, as has been as much the norm as walking into the playoffs, them being shown the door for whatever reason that most will deny as legit.

They are Sysyphus.
To show amazing determination, but to always fall short of getting that rock atop the mountain.

A win is a win until it isn't, and no matter how great they play in the regular season, the only win worth its salt is the last game of the season which must be a WIN, or all the feats before fall again into the wastebasket of doesn't matter.

Watch the games and win numbers grow and boast of the individual stats, but until they win THE GAME have the hangover remedy ready at your side to ease your pain because this is it, now or never under Rodgers who will leave you with ONE SB appearance and win, a number that usually signifies the best now signifying defeat and failure to achieve expectations for the GB Packers.

SB or Bust was never as true a mantra as it is for GB this season.

Watching the Packers play and win any game is a lot of fun, lose no matter the game is not fun. I realize each to his own but the Super Bowl is just another game over hyped and over advertised. Packers are in it great, they win better yet, they lose oh well, they got there. Football is just a game and fun to watch.

This site thinks that the Packers are simply lucks! https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/which-of-the-nfls-top-teams-have-be...
