The Green Bay Packers will reach the midway point of their regular season SundaY when they play the titans of the NFL -- Tennessee.
For the Packers, the game against the NFL’s only undefeated team should serve as an accurate barometer of where they are headed this season.
So far, after seven games, the Packers have been nothing more than a run-of-the-mill team.
They have a 4-3 record, one that is deceptive in the fact they have yet to beat a quality team.
Consider the Packers’ four victories:
-- They beat the Detroit Paper Lions, who are 0-7.
-- They beat Minnesota which, at the time, had the inept Tarvaris Jackson as their starting quarterback. The Vikings are 3-4.
-- They beat an injury-ravaged Seattle team that had to resort to using its third-string quaterback. The Seahawks are 2-5.
-- The beat Indianapolis, which didn't have the services of its second-best offensive player in running back Joseph Addai (We all know who is the Colts' best offensive player) and was without perhaps the best strong safety in the game in Bob Sanders. The Colts are 3-4.
The combined record of those aforementioned four teams that the Packers defeated is … 8-20. Horrible.
On the flip side, Green Bay's three setbacks were to good teams: Dallas, Tampa Bay and Atlanta, all 5-3.
Suffice to say, if the Packers want to get back to the NFC championship, much less the Super Bowl, they need to step it up.
Very good Gery,I'm sure you're going to get negative feed back from the TT lovers, but that say's it all.

The Packers are an average team. With a little luck in this especially unpredictable season, they could go to the playoffs and even make some noise.
Of course, with a little bad luck they could finish 7-9 or worse....

Really, Joseph Addai is now better than Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark? The Packers lost 3 straight when the had lost their starting safety,cornerback, defensive end,and Had AJ Hawk playing at 50% at best, if they can get healthy look for them to make a run as they did last year heading into the playoffs......... Stick to writing about the Bucks

BTW....the best offensive player on the Colts got his a$$ handed to him by a guy you have been hard on, in Aaron Rodgers. A-Rodge was the one who looked like the composed, savvy veteran last week, not the one who was a whiny little crybaby everytime he didn't get the flag he was so often begging for.

Gery,
Once again, your paid to be a sports reporter but you write about what you do not know. You dont cover the Packers, you dont go to Lambeau, you dont interview anyone, you dont even report about the games on Sunday. The JT has to PAY the AP to write about the fricking Packers game when you should be in the press box covering it for them. I understand that your busy being Scott Skiles gopher boy, but come on... your Packers ramblings, and Brewers for that matter, are nothing more than armchair QB stuff that us civillians do here on the blogs. Only difference is Lee enterprises do not pay us for it.
So the Seahawks were injury ravaged but the Packers were not? Your article is clearly one sided and leaves out an accurate portrayal of the Packers injury situation.
Please Please - stop embarrassing yourself.
With that being said this game will be a nice gauge.

Has anyone looked at the Titans opponents so far? I mean, if you are going to look at the teams the Packers have played, you need to look the the teams the Titans have as well.
Let's see: the best team on the list is 4-3(the powerhouse Baltimore Ravens with a rookie QB).
Jacksonville 3-4,Houston 3-4, Indi 3-4(whom the Packers KILLED, btw),Minnesota 3-4, the awesome Chiefs at 1-6, and last, but not least, Bengals 0-8.
So, that would be a combined 17-33 for Tennessee. Packers opponents are a combined 22-29.
So let's not anoint Tennessee as the SB champs just yet and pass over GB. I think they are going to surprise some people.
I'm here, I never said Rodgers would be perfect this year, as a matter of fact I thought he would struggle more than he has. I'll admit that his turnovers probably cost them the game.
I predicted a season record of 9 -7 or 10 - 6. Either way I would rather have Rodgers as the Packers QB than the NFL's interception leader (Favre). I'll wait until the season is over before I say the Jets had a better year. With that being said, I hope the Jets make the playoffs so the Packers get a second round pick.
I just hope the Packers don't have a let down this Sunday against the Vikings. If they win, they should be able to beat the Bears as well (as long as they can stay healthy). It's nice to see them getting back to full strength.
By the way when I say interception leader, I don't care that he is the all time leader in interceptions. When I made that comment I meant this season - 15 Td's - 12 Int's. Not good
