The Packers have arguably the best quarterback in the game. And since the quarterback is the end-all for success in the new-look pass-happy NFL, the Packers are insulated from outside problems. Right? Wrong. The Packers may have been able to get by with one of its top receivers. Heck, they may have been able to…


This might sound weird, but Sunday’s win was the most impressive of the season. You’re probably thinking to yourself, how in the world can a simple ho-hum win over the hapless Browns be even considered with any degree of impressive? Overcoming limitations is what proves worth.
