The title may be a little misleading, but it's not! Don't get me
wrong. Green Bay is an excellent team with an excellent quarterback. Aaron Rodgers looks like he has been playing for years. He looks like Tom Brady, or dare I say... a young Peyton Manning! The Packers definitely deserved their Super Bowl run and win! They proved they are one of the
elite teams in the NFL and can bring the pain in when needed! Their team is so well structured that they don't need any big names! Sure, they have some big names, but they don't need all the
big name players
like the Eagles got this year.
But see, where my complaints come in is...
What elite teams have the Packers played? In the opening game of the season the Packers came in hot, but so did the Saints. The Packers
only won that game by 8 points! The week after they had the Panthers, which aren't that great and have a lot of
pizzazz with Cam Newton. But the Packers
only won
that game by a touchdown! Of course, they have the usual division games, and the Bears aren't doing so hot. But, can you really count division rivals? You know their schemes and play style pretty well. They destroyed the Broncos but they didn't have the
miracle of Tim Tebow yet. And the Broncos, how good are they really? Tebow shows up in the fourth quarter but the
Defense does all the hard work! Anyways, out of that rant. So, besides the Saints another viable team was the Falcons, and they did beat them by 11 points. But again, really, how good are the Falcons to begin with? Are they an elite team?
The Packers beat the Chargers, but by a touchdown. The Chargers haven't been doing so hot and a lot of their players have been injured. Sure, their performance last night against the Ravens was amazing, but they weren't playing that hot earlier this season. Another "elite" team could be the Giants, but the Packers only beat them by a field goal and the Giants weren't/aren't doing so great! Oakland was doing well but with all the injuries they have inquired I don't see them doing much anymore. The Packers lost to the Chiefs! The Chiefs! Really, how good are the Packers?
I want to see the Packers play
real elite teams! Not these struggling teams that are barely breaking even record wise. I want them to play the Ravens, sure they are bipolar but are still an elite team! I want them to play the Steelers, Patriots, and definitely the 49ers!
Honestly, the only
Elite team they have played are the Saints. You can argue that the Giants and Falcons are elite teams, but they haven't proved it! I don't know, I just think the Packers haven't proved themselves yet! Aaron Rodgers is a beast, but I want to see him do work against a
great defense!
