How good are the Packers?

On any given Sunday can be said every week in the NFL. I think the 2011/12 season we are witnessing a team that is far and above anyone else. Any give Sunday doesn't apply. Looking at the rest of the league, I don't think anyone can compete with the Packers. This team is just that good.

Something that gets mentioned by ESPN's crew is that last year the Packers had 15 players on the DL when they won the Super Bowl. They go on to explain that those guys on the DL didn't feel like they were a part of that win, which may be just enough to avoid that play off hangover that some Championship teams get.

Watching the game last night and hearing the pre and post game analysis makes you wonder if this team has any weaknesses? Right now as it stands, I think this team is only going to lose if they beat their self''s.

Defense - solid defense that can get after the QB and hurry the play along. They also proved last night they can shut down the running game. AP didn't do a whole bunch bunch but its hard to run when you are down by 14 in the 1st quarter. They might have the best corner in the game still. Woodson is still amazing.

WR's - They catch the ball, they are big and physical and seem to have pure chemistry when it comes to reading the hot routes.
RB's - maybe the only weakness on this team. Its not a need thou, is it? They spread the ball around so much and with such ease, running is an after thought.
QB - OH MY, what needs to be said about Rodgers? he can beat you so many ways. Him and the WR core have the back shoulder pass down. The O line gives him time to make a non rushed pass. When things break down he can beat you with his legs. He is surly going to win the MVP and might just break every record in the book. Yes its a few years past and things went bad fast but you guys all remember Rogers replaced a legend! I think he passed that test.

I guess the only question left to ponder is, how many titles can this team win?
