Agree 100%. The defense is ranked 10th in the league and improving every game. This team has been competitive in every game except the opener. Excluding the opener, the most they've been beaten by is 10 points. Five of their eight losses have been by a field goal or less. Even with the injuries they've had, the Packers could have been 8-2 as easily as they're 2-8. The Packers this season are a classic case of a team flying under the radar. Everyone sees 2-8 and thinks they suck. This is a mistake that will cost bettors a lot of money by betting against them. Mark my words, this team will give Chicago and Seattle a fight because they have nothing to lose.
The Packers will be underdogs for the rest of the season, but as long as Favre is under center, they'll stay competitive and cover in most of their games. Until you see Aaron Rodgers in the huddle and Favre on the sidelines, this is not a team that has packed it in for the season.
