Packers fall to the Panthers
The Packers fell to the Panthers today 35 to 31. Rodgers was 29 of 45 for 298 yards with 3 touchdowns. Jackson ran the ball 11 times for 80 yards with a long run of 32 yards. The question you have to ask yourself is will the Packers defense step it up towards the end of the season.
Packers vs. Panthers
Even though the Saints made it look easy against the Packers defense, look for the packers defense to bounce back against the panthers. When you have a team like this that has so much pride, you can expect them to step up their game after getting embarrassed the previous week.

Rodgers has looked sharp.
Even though the Green Bay Packers are in third place, they still have a good shot at making the playoffs. Although their best chance would be a wildcard, they have about the same chance winning the division. With the bears and the vikings at 6 and 5 the Packers are only 2 games behind at 5 and 6.
Aaron Rodgers has been the surprise of the year for the Packers. Whether or not you agree with the Brett Favre trade, Rodgers has played exceptionally well. So far this season he has an 88.1 passer rating, 228 completions on 358 attempts which gives him a 63.5 completion percentage. He has thrown for 2,599 yards with 17 touchdowns. I do not think that the Packers record reflects the play of Aaron Rodgers. Sure he has had games that he has struggled in, but overall he has played pretty solid.
Who would have thought that Brett Favre would have played for anyone but the Green Bay Packers. Now the Jets are making some noise in the AFC, and Chad Pennington is helping the Miami Dolphins make a playoff run. Its funny how one move can make change so much. The Packers, if not to make the playoffs this year, have found their quarterback of the future in Aaron Rodgers. This is the kind of guy that can keep this team going for years to come. Not all teams are lucky enough to find a guy that precedes a great quarterback like Favre. The Patriots seem to have done the same thing with Matt Cassel, but look how long it has taken the Miami Dolphins to find a new franchise quarterback. Packer fans should be happy that they have found some stability so early in their rebirth.
