We just dominated the Packers offense and clearly outplayed them on the other side of the ball. They are widely regarded as the second best team in the conference, and we just went in and made them look awful.
Dallas, who is widely regarded as the best team in the NFC, looked terrible in Buffalo two weeks ago and got embarrassed on their home turf this week by a clearly better team.
The only team in the NFC that can say they are better than us right now has to be the New York Giants, who beat us pretty good at home. Even with them, at the end of the year, do you really think they will be playing better than us? I don't think they will They are right now...but so?
Nobody can defend our passing game right now and nobody can move the ball on us. Yes, we still have to get some kinks in the offense ironed out before we are an elite team, but I have been pleasantly surprised this year. I didn't think going in that our defense would be absolutely shut down and I didn't think our passing game would make some of the league's better pass D's look irrelivant out there.
Despite some tough losses, how can one not be encouraged? I'd rank us 6th in the league right now based on what I've seen.

I would say Dallas and NYG are a little better than everyone else in the NFC. Then there are a bunch of teams that are all bunched together. Wash, Minn, Seattle, Phi, GB, TB, Chi and Car are all real close. Say what you want about Minn but they went into Chi and won on the road w/ a terrible QB. That's a good win no matter how you look at it. Anytime a runner goes for over 200 on a good defense you have to tip your hat.
I am encouraged but we have to stop dropping passes and score more TD's.
