I doubt they will go 16-0.  But this is the best Packers team I've seen in a long time.  They're almost Tecmo-Bowl like.

This is the best TEAM I've seen in a long time. Even better than the 2007 Patsies.

Who cares if Green Bay goes 16-0? That's already been done. What I want to know is GB gonna go 19-0. That's the number to shoot for in my humble opinion. That's not been done yet.

I have a theory that Miami won't be good again until someone else goes undefeated

lol, maybe

I always found it sad how some Dolphins fans cling to that record. Records are made to be broken, if someone does it god bless them. If I am lucky enough to see it and if it happens in my lifetime, great!

I mean its not like they take away the Super Bowl the Fins won in 1972 if someone else goes unbeaten.

The Patriots' defense was better, IMHO.

I'm still not convinced that Green Bay's offense is historically great. It's certainly the best this year, but if you compare it to the 2007 Patriots, well, the Patriots certainly had a better running game. Is Green Bay's passing game better than that of the 2007 Patriots? I don't know...

I'd be more comfortable if the Pack had played some better defenses. Chicago and Atlanta are the best they've come up against.  Overall, I think the Packers have been lucky in terms of schedule. There just aren't a lot of good defenses on their schedule (yeah, I'm not sold on the Bears... at all). We'll see what happens when they go to Detroit on Thanksgiving, that should give us an indication, even though the Lions do have a very young D that I wouldn't be surprised to see Rodgers pick apart.

^^ Why the Lions stink. They have been playing poorly and dirty. They got a few lucky wins with some miracle comebacks early in the year. Aside from that they have been an ordinary team.

GB plays the Giants and Bears they are the only true tests they have left.

And Aaron Rodgers, I don't care what the stats say, he is having the single greatest year any QB has had. It goes beyond numbers, he doesn't make any mistakes and makes big plays when needed. He is playing at the highest level any QB has ever played at in NFL maybe ever for at least a single season.

^^Were you around to see Marino in '84?  That was pretty darn impressive too and I watched it first hand as well. I'd still give the nod to Marino in that year. Rodgers numbers are better in some respects this year, but QB's and receivers weren't protected like they are now.

564 Attempts
362 Completions
64.2 % completion rate
5,084 yards
9 yards per completion
48 TD's
17 INT's
13 Sacks - This pretty darn impressive for 564 attempts.

If a team's going to be 19-0 I'd much rather it was Green Bay.

Amen.....As long as it is not the Jets, Patriots, or Bills I would be able to stomach it.....well and maybe the fucking Cowboys lol!!!!!

Not to speak for MikeO, but cross-era comparisons may be fun for some, but they're pretty useless. The comparison here has to be other 'recent' quarterbacks. I'd go as far back as Warner and The Greatest Show on Turf (so late 90s) -- any earlier and it just becomes meaningless, IMHO.

I think the comparison holds if you're looking at the original vs. what the game has become.  Marino's stats may have doubled given how much teams throw now, but he was the first quarterback to throw the ball all over the field like that.

It was unheard of at the time, now it's commonplace, much as Johnny U's 2 minute drill was unheard of and now it's standard practice.

I was around and I said the stats won't back me up. And its more than just stats. Stats arent' everything. But just from the eyeball test, Rodgers is at a higher level.  Just on a one year basis, not comparing careers. Higher level might not mean a stats monster. He won't have Dan's stats from 84. But gun to my head to win a game, Rodgers today or Marino  from 84.....its not even close give me Rodgers this year. He's playing at the highest level any QB has ever played at.

I believe ESPN recently analyzed this and determined that Brees' 2009 was the best year of any QB they could find... even better than Brady's 07.
