9-8 last year.  They added Jacob’s who is coming off a down year.  Their QB turned the light on at end of year but why is that sustainable?  A lot of media saying they are Suoer Bowl contenders. 

I just don’t get it

For the last 30-35 years  there has been a love affair from the media and some refs for the Packers. Where have you been?

Because they have drafted well and built a nice team on top of being well coached. IT will be GB or Detroit in the NFC championship against someone. Unless Love is out for the season after that last play.

I went back and looked at their roster after you posted this.  Jeezus, they knocked the 22 draft out of the park. 

They are very young and haven’t proven anything yet, but are talented. I still think it’s dumb they gave Love 55 million, but they can afford to be dumb here and there with they way they are drafting. 

Still don’t like sports media swinging on their schlong, they had a good run end of last year and are young.  Never should have been in Super Bowl convos.

Love is so over rated, anybody with a count of how many passes were off the mark? Hell one pass went straight into the ground 3 yards in front of a wide open receiver. He is simply not accurate. The pack have a lot of young talent but they will no longer have a top QB.

People sleep peacably at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Neither QB played particularly well. Both threw some stupid passes. Love had a 50% completion percentage and Hurts threw 2 picks. Both teams looked beatable to me. If Love is out for the year, the Packers are done. 

Scary thing is how good Barkley looked behind that best-in-show Eagles OL.

Their offense was, defense look bad but so did the Eagles defense.

Those field conditions last night were terrible The NFL really did those players a disservice. I cannot remember ever seeing so much slipping of WRs and QBs even in icy conditions. It made the downfield passing game interesting to say the least. Of course the players health is all they are concerned about right?

I'll add to this that GB plays the comp pick game well. It seems like every draft the league is awarding them extra picks.
