Packers are Really Good, but not Dominant…For Now

The Packers inability to bury a team like the Saints is one reason Green Bay isn't quite dominant.

The Green Bay Packers are 6-0 and should be 7-0 after feasting on Christian Ponder and the bumbling Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

The Packers have been the more talented team on the field for each of their games this season, sometimes by a wide margin. But despite the Packers fast start and obvious talent superiority, I wouldn’t call this team dominant….yet.

Extremely good? Yes. Ultra-talented? Yes. The best team in the NFL? Yes. Dominant? Not quite.

Here’s why:

  • The Packers are 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed. Opposing QBs have racked up 1,798 passing yards on Green Bay, an average of almost 300 yards per game. Passing numbers are up around the league, but this number needs to come down for the Packers to be dominant.
  • The Packers are third in Football Outsiders DVOA ratings and Pro-Football-Reference.com’s simple ratings system. I don’t put too much stock in this type of analysis this early in the season, but these numbers do tell us that the Packers are not miles ahead of everyone else like a dominant team would be.
  • A dominant team would have put away the Saints and the Panthers (and probably the Bears) much earlier than the Packers did. Instead of putting these games out of reach, the Packers let both teams hang around. A dominant team also would not have been shut out by the Rams in the second half, even if that dominant team was bored like the Packers probably were on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers 2009 Schedule Announced

The Green Bay Packers 2009 schedule is out. Some cool facts…

The Packers schedule is considered the third softest overall, based on last year’s records of their opponents.

Green Bay opens the season Sunday night at home looking to spoil Jay Cutler’s debut with the Bears.

Green Bay will play the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving day, the 19th time these teams have played on Thanksgiving (they played every year from 1951-1963).

The next game after Thanksgiving will be their fourth National TV game, a Monday Night contest versus the Baltimore Ravens.

The last fourth of the season will be a quiet one at Lambeau, with only one home game on the schedule.

1 Sun, Sept. 13 vs. Chicago Bears NBC 8:20 p.m.
