AGAINST THE NFC
– Today starts a stretch that sees Green Bay playing NFC opponents in eight of the final nine games, including the next six contests.

– The Packers and Panthers are the only two teams in the NFL with 4-0 records against the NFC this season.

– Green Bay is 13-3 during the regular season against NFC teams since the start of last season. The Packers’ .813 winning percentage is No. 1 among NFC teams over that span.

– During the McCarthy era (2006-present), Green Bay is 77-34-1 against NFC opponents during the regular season. The Packers’ 77 wins are seven more than any other team over that span.

– QB Aaron Rodgers has recorded a passer rating of 109.2 against NFC opponents during the regular season in his career, which is No. 1 among active quarterbacks (min. 100 pass attempts).

– In four games against NFC teams this season, Rodgers has completed 84 of 118 passes for 903 yards, eight touchdowns, two interceptions and a 108.8 passer rating.

– In Week 10, the Packers will return to Lambeau Field to take on the Detroit Lions. It will be the first of four consecutive games against divison opponents, including two against the Lions (Week 13).

The O will be fine as long as they have Rodgers.  The Panthers have a really good defense.

I noticed what they did to get sacks was wait for the O-line to lock in on their holds then send another guy free.   

The Packers O-line holds all day every day.  I know as a fan you will look past it but it is obvious to anyone paying attention.  I know they allow O-line to hold if they keep their hands inside but when the QB runs past and the D-line can't get off trying to go the other direction that needs to be a flag.  When they have a handful of jersey and it is being pulled away from the body that needs to be a flag.  When they literally have their arm around the back of the DL and are pulling jersey that needs to be a flag.  If not it totally ruins the integrity of the game.     

That D is not good.  Of course they are dealing with a lot of injuries but they suck right now.

Thing that sucks for the Pakey is now Carolina holds any tie breaker so the games will go through Lina if they have the better record....every game counts and the Pake will find that out come playoffs....

Peckers end up a modest 11 and 5 or even 10 and 6. Only because of Rogers.

Peckers had an extremely easy schedule.

They were saying how it's been 2 games in a row they have expoilted Julia Peppers inabilty to cover and run right at him. Peppers needs to play rush end only. Also Matthews shouldn't be on the inside - much more dangerous on the outside.

Carolina up 37 to 14 and decided to go into a shell. Prevent defense prevents you from wining. Newton was off as well 15 for 30.

True, but I'm not going to worry about that any longer.  GB was 15-1 and lost their first play-off game.  They were seeded 6thin 2011 and won the SB.  Just get healthy and mature and get hot like in 2011 and I'll be happy.

Charlotte, N.C. — The quarterback who was hit 14 times, who was chased from here to the airport on plenty of his 48 pass attempts, who ended the game dragged down by a defensive lineman, winced slightly as he bent to retrieve two towels from the floor. Barefoot, he returned them to the shower and sunk into his locker for the task of putting on shoes.

The black loafers sat before Aaron Rodgers like a chore, the effort needed for socks and footwear an unwanted burden after hours of inexorable pressure and unyielding rushers. He removed from his shoe an iPhone wrapped in headphones, the screen glowing green with messages. He placed the phone to his left and leaned back into the locker to pause, to rest, to summon the strength to continue while lamenting a play that will haunt him from the game he'll desperately want back.

On fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line, his team a few feet from a miraculous 23-point comeback, Rodgers had the pass he wanted and watched it disappear.

"I had the easy opportunity there for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, but I got scared by something," Rodgers said at the podium a few minutes later. "I can't explain it. It was a mistake by myself."

With Randall Cobb uncovered in the end zone, Rodgers danced in the pocket until defensive tackle Kawann Short broke free. He backpedaled, frivolously stiff-armed a 315-pound lineman and chucked a feeble pass in the direction of someone — anyone — who could extend a miracle.

A leaping interception by linebacker Thomas Davis extinguished the attempt for a third touchdown in as many drives by a Green Bay Packers team that needed more than three quarters to find itself and then morphed into an offensive typhoon. Rodgers conjured back-to-back scoring drives in the waning minutes to constrict a lopsided game and rectify, on some level, an offense known to sputter. But his 369 passing yards weren't enough, his four passing touchdowns too few, and the Carolina Panthers withstood near-implosion to stymie the Packers, 37-29...

Well, that explains it.  Everybody probably wondered when AR suddenly flinched and kind of lobbed an aimless flutterball.  He looked weird and flustered.

Which team has the better chance to win the NFC North?

Posted by Mike Florio on November 9, 2015, 5:48 PM EST

Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers
AP

Eight days ago, the Packers had a two-game lead over the Vikings in the NFC North. Now, not.

It really doesn't matter.  Who  is hot and healthy matters.

Vic, I’m hearing from fans all over that McCarthy needs to take back the role of play-calling and Capers needs to go. Really, after two losses? But wouldn’t you say the players have to be held accountable as well. The defense and offensive line have been porous lately.

Everybody is accountable. Didn’t Coach McCarthy accept responsibility for the loss in Denver? Aaron Rodgers blamed himself for not making the pass to Randall Cobb on the fourth-and-4 play on Sunday. There’s no lack of accountability on this team. What else can they do except give their best and then blame themselves for their best not being good enough? I think it’s unfair to expect a human sacrifice; that might be going too far. Fans are frustrated, just as the players are. That’s what we saw on the sideline yesterday. It was frustration. That’s the problem with expectations. They create frustration when expectations aren’t realized. Everybody who reads this column knows how I feel about expectations. I try to avoid them in my everyday life. I try to focus on one fundamental expectation: Try my best. At times like these, I think we need to get back to that simple expectation of this team, that it merely tries its best. Fire everyone isn’t the solution. It’s just a nonsensical reaction to frustration.

Is it fair to say, if not the wheels, certainly the hubcaps have come off the bus?

The bus engine needs a tune up. That’s all.

Andrea from Sofia, Bulgaria

Vic, there’s no panic in me, but I’m concerned. That scuffle between defensemen, Rodgers throwing away that tablet … I like the grit they showed in the second half, but they don’t look collected and confident as they were in past occasions. Do you see something different from your end?

I agree, but I don’t seek FULL CONSISTENCY because there is no FULL CONSISTENCY in this league. The Colts hung 27 on the Broncos and handed them their first defeat. Antonio Brown turned in one of the great performances in NFL history, but nearly lost the game when he fumbled a punt return. If you’re going to be a fan of this game and keep your cool, you must acknowledge the lack of of FULL CONSISTENCY. It’s kind of an inside joke long-time readers of this column understand.

Could it finally be that having picked at the bottom of the draft for a few years now is finally catching up to this team?? Maybe they aren't getting the talent anymore to be at the top, which is what should happen really as the lower teams progress with better talent and those having sat at the top begin to lack the talent needed to win consistently....just my thoughts...
