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.
