You can't really fault a team for winning against all of their opponents, eventhough those said opponents haven't been the best. The won the superbowl last year and haven't lost since. Just looking at the sheer dominance on their part in the playoffs and continued success makes them elite. Their defence may not look pretty, but look what they did last year. They just don't need to be that good this year with that offence.

You have to be a hater to call the Packers over rated when they are undefeated and on pace to Go undefeated.

They are the Champions until sOmeone else wins it

I think they screen alot and their coach is top notch.

It's mostly the best d in the NFL and a good friggin coach.

Alot of running , Playaction bombs and the best defense in the NFL .

By the time the 3rd quarter rolls around, the opposing team is tired because of that defense.

There is no pace when it comes to teams and winning. And not sure there has ever been an 8-0 team that has played defense as bad as the Packers... That cant be good for a playoff run.

They are overrated and have played no one. I see nothing historically great about this team other than benefiting from playing lackluster opponents.

Very true about their defense, I can't recall another team 8-0 with a worse defensive performance.

But the crazy part is their defense is capable of playing as the best defense in the NFL, especially with that CB tandem. They are scary if the defensive unit plays any where near how they played on their SB run

The Packers are for real. They are the best team in the NFL and should be treated as such. No team is unbeatable but this team is going to be very tough to dethrone.
