Who would have thought that after the third game of the season we would be talking about the Packers as one of only 4 undefeated teams?

Certainly not me. But with a tough run defense and a quality passing game the team has done just that. Though the record is perfect the PAcker team is not. The running game still doesn’t look dangerous, and this week, the pass defense didn’t look much better. But in the end, Brett Favre was able to lead a late game comback, followed by an interception to seal the win.

Favre also tied the touchdown pass record yesterday, and continued to look like the old Brett, throwing quality passes and playing exciting football.

Holding Tomlinson to 62 yards on 22 carries is a feat the defense can point to as a sign that they are better than most think. The D comes up with the big plays when they are needed, but the secondary tends to be a bit suspect at times, and it will only be a matter of time before teams can gameplan against it.

If the Packers don’t shore up some kind of rushing offense in the next few weeks, it is entirely possible that the team will begin to be shutout as the opposition’s defense keys on the pass.

But, until then, lets enjoy the wins while they come.
