It's too bad GB thought it was better to expend precious draft capital on a backup QB and a third string RB rather than shore up the porous defense. That's why they are fake contenders. I hope Jordon Love can rush the passer.

Using a 1st round pick like that when Rodgers obviously has a lot of good years left was something I will never understand. Your window is wide open. He should of been thinking about the 49ers and the AFC and it seems he was thinking Rodgers was spent or nearly so. I don't buy that garbage about him doing it to motivate Rodgers. Are you comfortable with your GM?

I don't feel one way or the other about the Packers so I'm not attacking them. I did watch most of their games last season and I saw a QB who was still elite and could buy time trying to find receivers that didn't seem able to get open.

I am very comfortable with the GM and the level of talent and depth on this team, I think it showed last night with as many people as we had not playing.

Meaningless. It is increasingly easy to score on the GF defense as the following chart demonstrates:

You all have a long way to go and in the end your lack of a decent defense will do you in, just like it did last year. But at least Erin is having a good year!

Defense did better against Atlanta than the Bears D did.

Keep throwing up them bricks

Every single team they've played so far has shredded the Atlanta Falcons. Are you really using them as a measuring stick? How does Garopolo's ass taste?

Packers and Bears faced two common opponents so far, Detroit and Atlanta. GB’s defense did better in both games. GB has a better offense and a better defense than the Bears

The receivers seem to be getting open this year without having expended a draft pick. Maybe the GM liked what he had more than what was available. So far I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I questioned the draft as well as the coaching hire but it's hard to make that argument now. Love is for 3 yrs down the road. They will know by then what they have in both players. If he's good it will be another brilliant pick which keeps them relevant for another decade and save them a big salary cap hit. If not you continue to pay Rodgers and hope he holds up. We have seen how quickly older QB's fall off (see Rivers, Brees and Brady) and beyond age injuries are always looming. As they sit right now the are SB contenders. Of course that can change in a heartbeat but they chose players early this year (& last in Gary) with an eye on the future which includes salary cap considerations at both the QB and RB positions. As a fan I don't necessarily like that but I understand it and hopefully come to appreciate it.

The Bears defense is a huge disappointment. They don’t generate turnovers, and Mack/Quinn are all but invisible.

You've faced four terrible teams so far. Good luck with clinging to that ppg ranking.

The performance is more or less consistent with last year so I'm comfortable extrapolating, and Indy isn't terrible. The clear path for the Packers to win it all is to have a D like the Bears do. Maybe you can use Jordan Love for something.

Packers have a better defense than the Bears so far based on play against common opponents. A D like the Bears do would be a downgrade.

Indy is terrible. They lost to the Jaguars

What a stupid argument.

Why are only 14 percent of black CPS 11th-graders proficient in English?

They have played 3 winless teams and a team with a 1-2 record. You can argue about the Aints all you want, but to date the Packers have played nobody. Hard not to argue.

_________________

I would argue the Packers have played a pretty soft schedule to date. The big difference is they look a hell of a lot better than the Bears have against an equally soft (if not a slightly softer) schedule.

My God...the Buccaneers appear to be the toughest game on the schedule for the Packers....woof.

_________________

There's nothing to argue about with the Saints. They're a good football team. They're going to be in the playoffs again. As for the other three teams GB faced, well, they did what good teams are supposed to do to bad teams - thoroughly dominated all three games.

I predict the Vikings will turn it around with a soft schedule in the 2nd half and slide into the playoffs @ 9-7.

I agree...the Vikings will finish better than the Bears. I don't they're AS bad as their start of the season showed.

_________________

So because these "common opponents" scored more points against the Packers than they did against the Bears, this means the Bears' D is worse?

And Erin is terrible...he lost to Garropolo.

The use of Erin is almost as funny as Trubinsky. Do you also say White sux?

Hey man, I can understand how you're still sore about losing to a no-name QB last year, and how you're at risk for doing it again due to having a defense that sux. Hope some meaningless regular season success makes the inevitable playoff loss easier to bear, assuming you get that far.

Detroit scored 23 against Bears and 21 against GB. Atlanta scored 26 against the Bears and 16 against GB.

You're bad at this. Have you even watched a football game this year?
