After beating the Bears at home during week 1, things were looking good for the Green Bay Packers. Coming off of a disappointing (yet promising) 6-10 finish in the 2008 football season, the Green Bay Packers have higher hopes in 2009.
Aaron Rodgers continues to improve, and is legitimately one of the best quarterbacks in football. Greg Jennings is one of the best receivers in football, and veteran wide receiver Donald Driver isn't such a bad option at the position himself.
After a week one victory against a Bears team that has been hyped by many, the prospects for the Packers were good ones. The Bears have high expectations, especially after picking up Jay Cutler.
The NFC is really up for grabs and it would surprise a few if the Packers did go that far. The Packers will have to contend with the favored Minnesota Vikings and a "game" Chicago Bears team with Jay Cutler -- who will not be easy to beat.
With the exception of the Detroit Lions, the Packers will have to play their best if they expect to beat the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, who are just as good as the Packers.
The Packers have as good as a chance as any team to contend in the NFC in 09' - there are no dominant teams in this league and a team that gets on a hot streak can run the table. The Packers can definitely be the team to hit that hot streak.
Somehow, the Bengals managed to overcome the Packers, maintaining the lead for most of the game. Aaron Rodgers himself wasn't too bad (he didn't throw any interceptions), but Ryan Grant was weak at the running back position, and lost a key fumble that seriously hurt the Packers' chances of winning the game.
If Aaron Rogers is truly the heir apparent to Brett Favre he has a monumental task in front of him. While he can never be as great as Favre was, he can be Aaron Rogers and play to his abilities and strengths - however far that takes Green Bay remains a mystery so far. - 29967
