The main argument against the Packers has been that they were playing weak teams, so their excellent performance means nothing. But the people who take this stance are being awfully short-sighted.  Eight out of the 32 NFL teams are outright terrible, in no particular order:

Titans
Buccaneers
Rams
Chiefs
Browns
Lions
Redskins
Raiders

That’s 25% of the league.  If you add  in honorable mentions to the slumping 49ers and the Bills, it is almost one third of the league is down right terrible.

As a result, many argue that the Packers are not a good team, and that their latest triumphs don’t mean anything because they were playing bad teams.  The Packers did what they were supposed to do and better than others.  Nobody suggests the Colts are bad because they played the Rams and the Titans back-to-back, allowed these two winless teams to score 5 times the amount of points, 15, as the Packers did.  The Packers have played superbly against bad teams.  I, for one, expect the Packers to continue to play at this level against the Vikings.
