If you have been watching, reading, or listening to any coverage regarding the current National Football League season, you have likely heard about a wide variety of things, ranging from the Detroit Lions great start to the abysmal beginning for the Philadelphia Eagles, from the Tebow saga in Denver to the McNabb drama in Minnesota. However, one team that seems to be overlooked and not mentioned very much this year is the Green Bay Packers.
This is surprising, as Green Bay entered the year absolutely stacked and full of talent. Also, and people seem to forget this - they won the Super Bowl last year. If you have been watching them, you know that they should be on the tip of everyone's tongue - Aaron Rodgers is on fire (27 TD's and 3 interceptions at this point), the running game is there, and the defense has looked very well. If they aren't the pick to repeat as Super Bowl Champions, then I do not know what games people have been watching.
I have often wondered about why Green Bay gets overlooked so often. They have been playing fantastic football, won a Super Bowl, yet their press coverage was way higher back when Brett Favre was trying to figure out whether he wanted to retire or not.
Ah well, if people are not talking about the Green Bay Packers now, I suspect that it is only a matter of time until they are lauded for being repeat Super Bowl Champions.
