Packers defense the key

The Green Bay packers are on a roll. They have been winning games and quietly sneaking up on the rest of the NFL this past month. Nobody would thought that this team would be a potent ital 12-4 powerhouse and solid team come January. Charles Woodsen and Nick Barnett are having monster years and the defense is by far the tops in the NFL. Nick Collins and AJ hawk are also having mind boggling years and the Packers are just solid from top to bottom.
Arron Rogers is the fifth rated passer in the game now and his steady improvement and leadership has also been key in the rise of the Packers. The Packers are two disappointingly games with the Vikings away from being in first. The nightmare game against the Tampa Bay Bucs was a mirage and if you take that game away as well the Packers would be at the top. It is usually the teams that rise at the end and surprise people who usually wins the Super Bowl. The Green Bay Packers will be one team the powerhouses in the NFC will have to be wary of in the playoffs. They have a solid running game and a steady pro in Donald Driver as the top receiver. This team just does not have any holes and will likely win out the rest of their games. How far will they go in the playoffs is the question. The dome teams will be lucky they won't have to play this cold weather team in their element as they wouldn't have a prayer if they did have to play this team in the cold.

Penalties and Special Teams

still needs to be addressed. We can’t ignore these issues when we face the better teams of the league.

I agree that the top teams don't want to see a hot wild card team in the playoffs

I have seen improvements as the season progresses.
Such as the sack count on Rodgers, defense and running game.
But what I don’t like is when our defense sets up our offense with good field position and all they come away with is field goals or nothing.
This won’t cut it against the top scoring teams in the League, they make you pay for your mistakes. Our redzone offense has to improve. I wish they would use the TEs more in that area.
But they have 3 games to figure it out. If they can correct those areas we might go deep. And a little luck does’nt hurt either.
