The offense relies on the long ball way too often and they are as predictable as it comes. I told Rick weeks ago to not give up on Green Bay and that 3-4 defense and that the 3-4 will come around eventually. Well, it's come around. Green Bay is primed for a playoff run and I like their squad right now.
23 penalties for 310 yards?!?!? Never saw such a thing. Despicable & both teams should feel dirty after that shrugging stat.

MY PACKERS DEFENSE was SHARP AGAIN... DANG... its like the Vikings hangover is done...and now they can concentrate on playing the game!!
I was cussing at the TV that frightened my dog.... hilarious!! The Packers have the worst special teams coverage of the NFL...
The game was won by the Packers inspite of themselfs for wanting to give the game away... AMAZING... but a win is a win in this league...
Penalties were just crazy... the turnovers were crazy... BUT VERY HAPPY THIS MORNING with the win.
8-4, never would have thought it in September... The goal for the Pack should now be to get to the playoffs with a chance to play the Vikings for a third time!!
Also did you feel the anoucers love for Rodgers... WOW.

1. Indianapolis Colts- This team is strong and seems indestructible at this point whether it's close wins, blowout wins, or come from behind blowout wins and snatching victory from defeat.
2. New Orleans Saints- Fortunate bounces happen to teams that have 12 wins and 0 losses. Fortunately for the Saints, that luck came against a bad team. Credit Washington for playing with heart.
3. San Diego Chargers- Scariest team in the AFC playoff hunt to challenge the Colts anytime, anywhere.
4. Minnesota Vikings- Even though the Vikes lost to the uprising Cards, they are still one of the best in the league, but losing on the road in a tough environment should provide no panic. They
dropped maybe a half a peg but expect them to rise back up in the coming weeks and look as dominant as they were before Sunday Night. They were due anyhow.
5. Arizona Cardinals- They made a statement game by crushing the Vikes, at home against one of the better teams in the Conference. Can they keep it up is the question. Come playoff time, the Cards can NOT be overlooked or else.
6. Green Bay Packers- One of the teams that could play MAJOR spoiler to teams like New Orleans or even Minny on the road. Questions still remain if they can protect Rodgers against a team like the Vikes and inconsistency is still there in many spots, but they are small pot holes that could be filled with excellence.
7. Denver Broncos- Looking like the 6-0 team we've seen out the gate. Still, I think they are weak and lose at least 2 more, opening the door to a 5th WC spot.
8. Cincinnati Bengals- I believe this team will be the weakest team in the whole NFL playoffs. Palmer and the offense need to show up with more fire power or they could be one and done easily. But again, they could be last years Cardinals. Something to think about.
9. Philadelphia Eagles- Division still up for grabs, and this three way dance for the East will be a slobber knocker to the finish since EVERY team in the East still plays each other. The Giants won't go away and Dallas is living in December and we all know what that means. So far for Dallas, 0-1. It's the Eagles to take.
10. New England Patriots- Losing 3 of the last 4 is a major concern for New England and that defense is pretty much non existent. The defense only has 20 sacks, which is tied dead last in the league with the St.Louis Rams and they let Chad Henne pick them apart and attempt 53 passes. It doesn't matter what Brady and the offense does, it's shown now that the offense can't make up for EVERYTHING like they've had in the past. Still, New England is a threat in the playoffs and could indeed get it done when it counts. Tough to go against them come post-season.

Get New England off the list and get Pittsburgh off of your "on the fringe list". Both teams flat out SUCK. Neither team can hold a lead to save their life and neither team should be mentioned on ANY "power ranking". Neither one of these teams will be a factor in the playoffs. If either of these teams even makes the playoffs, they'll be one and done!
When the Steelers lost to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, it was their fourth consecutive defeat, which tied for the second longest losing streak in NFL history for a defending Super Bowl champion.
The 2002 New England Patriots, the 1998 Denver Broncos and the 1976 Steelers all lost four games in a row the year after winning the Super Bowl.
In all instances, the team failed to make the playoffs that year except for the '76 Steelers. Since the first Super Bowl in 1966, 13 times the defending champion has lost at least three games in a row the year after winning the title. The Raiders lost three in a row in 1981 as the Oakland Raiders and again in 1984 as the Los Angeles Raiders.
The Giants also lost three in a row the year after the shocking Super XXV win over the Buffalo Bills.
Five game losing streak
1987 — New York Giants
Four-game losing streak
2009 — Steelers
2002 — New England Patriots
1999 — Denver Broncos
Three-game losing streak
2006 — Steelers
2003 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2000 — St. Louis Rams
1991 — New York Giants
1988 — Washington Redskins
1984 — Los Angeles Raiders
1981 — Oakland Raiders
1980 — Steelers
1976 — Steelers
