All QBs have good arms although some are better than others. But all of them can make the throws. It's what's above the shoulders that matters.

I watched Rodgers some and he's accurate but not that much more than some and not more than all. He throws a nice long ball but he's overthrows a lot.

What I didn't like was the time he had to throw. I was thinking the Philly front has a good rush. Also I don't like the idea their receivers were getting open so much. I wonder about the offensive scheme that allows for that as well as the coaching and game plans. It isn't all Rodgers. I also hope that we pay attention to how they did so and how often they attacked those safeties deep.

We dominated Seattle, were in control all game against Houston and came back from 21 down without getting calls or 21 points off of returns against STL.

They are an extremely flawed team. Gimmick offense that can't score in the redzone. Inconsistent running game. Bad tackling on defense. Dallas is a much more complete football team.

I think the Cowboys are better suited for the playoffs. I'll agree with you there. But I wouldn't say the Eagles are a gimmick offense. They just lost their starting quarterback. And I don't know what's going on with Shady McCoy. Anyway, everything will shake out at the end of the year. I'm okay withholding final judgment until then. If Romo stays healthy, I like our chances - provided the coaches don't get a brain fart and revert back to last year's play calling.

These are great points J1.

Hard to Imagine any team stopping green bay from getting to the sb.

When will people stop saying this? I've heard it every season. In 2011, everyone said how no way Packers don't get to the SB. They get beat in their first game. Just a few weeks ago, it was the Broncos everyone was salivating over. As well as the Steelers. Stuff changes in the NFL all the time.

This is the same team that got blown out by Seattle, looked like junk against the Lions and got blown out by a subpar Saints team.

They are not unstoppable.

Teams lose in the NFL I bet they lose to a bad team like the Bucs or someone and everyone can't wrap their heads around the fact that the NFL is a parity league not a dynasty one.

We still have to beat them though, and we've not done that nearly often enough these last few years.

We're far from perfect ourselves.

Let's see how it plays, but I'm sure they'll give us all we can handle.

Guys, we see this almost every year. Rodgers has the potential to be incredible. Amazing. And when GBs offense is rolling they can put up 50+.

But it doesnt go on forever. Manning has his run of games. Then comes back down to earth. Same with Brady. Same with Brees. Same with Rivers. Same with Rodgers.

Just be happy Rogers is playing like this in week 10 and not week 18.

There is A LOT of time between now and the playoffs.

Dallas needs to take care of its matchups and its fans need to not worry about Rodgers playing like Superman in Week 10.

The Eagles aren't a pretty good team.

They are a .500 team that got breaks to give them 3 wins.

I mean, that's kind of selling them short just a bit, but I do agree they are very poor for a team with a winning record.

I thought Denver was the scariest looking team of the month? GB will lose a few more games before it's all said and done, it's the nature of today's NFL.

GB is very good and playing their best ball. If you go back over the games they have struggled it has been against teams who showed strong running games. I was a bit surprised to see Philly help GB last night with that Chip Kelly hurry up offense, all they managed to do is hurry up back to the sidelines putting their defense back out there with little rest. Keeping Rodgers on the bench would have kept the game in reach but philly in their grand wisdom would rather play this college football gimmick

Posters saying the Packers are a "system" team have no idea what they are talking about. If they were a system team, then why do they struggle when Rodgers goes out. Why were they one of the worse teams in the league when he was down for two months last year. (except for the 2nd half of the Dallas game last year. ;) Tell me in what system a QB can put the ball on a dime to a WR well covered 60 yards downfield in 20 degree weather.

Packers are a good team with a Great, Great QB. The only question is the defense. You can scratch off the first month of the season when they lost to Seattle and Detroit. During September, McCarthy wanted to be a running team and have Eddie Lacy be the focal point but finally decided after the Detroit game to make Aaron Rodgers and the passing game the focal point. Good Decision. Eddie may not run like he did last year but teams are still focusing on stopping him. Rodgers is just insanely accurate. The NO game was one of those games. They were matching scores easily with New Orleans but when Rodgers tweaked his hamstring the team acted like it a car that blew a rod. Rodgers three picks this year have all bounced off the WRs hands. They should have caught them.

Moving Matthews to ILB seems to have settled the defense down. Additionally, HaHa Clinton Dix now has a half season under him and the secondary is playing much better than they they were earlier. Packers proved in 2010 they can win on the road. The played at Philly, at Atlanta, and at Chicago. Two cold weather places that did not affect them.

Packers under McCarthy always play their best games in November/December. Rodgers is having an MVP season again. Before it is over this year, I predict they will have the #1 seed for the playoffs. Packers are a freight train and as long as #12 is behind center, that train keeps barreling down the tracks....

Luckily Dallas has the recipe to beat any team and we saw the Saints beat the crap out of Green Bay by running the ball right down their throat.
