Blind Resumes

So, another week has gone by and the Packers have looked quite impressive once again.  On Monday Night Football, the Bears continued to lead the division and are now at 5-1.  I think that for a moment we need to look outside the records and see exactly what each team has done in specific games by looking at some things without the name of the team present.  There are 11 teams with winning records and right now we will look at those teams accomplishments to date this season.

If there is anything to be learned by this exercise this morning, it's that there really is no dominant team in the NFL this season.  I feel like the media keep trying to put up different teams and say they are the most complete or best team.  We still do only have 1 undefeated team in the Falcons, but their best opponents have been Denver and San Diego.  The Bears and Texans both have one loss, but the Bears haven't beaten any good teams and the Texans just beat a Ravens roster decimated by injuries.  Right now I am very confident in the roster that the Packers have and think that we will continue to improve.  We have the Jaguars and Cardinals at home the next 2 weeks in games that we need to win so that we can try to win the division.  I just think it's important to be clear that the Patriots aren't as bad as people are saying, but the Bears, Texans, and Falcons are not that great either.  There is still a lot of season to play.  Go Pack Go!
