Crazy what a difference two weeks make.
Coming out of the Washington game, I was certain the Packers were on a Super Bowl trajectory. They played outstanding defense and thoroughly dominated a pair of would-be contenders. They looked like the league’s best team.
Two weeks later, and the team is heading into the bye week with a lot of questions.
Here are some of the ones that are sticking in my brain at the moment:
How good is this defense, really?
It’s important not to overreact after a single game, of course, but it’s hard not to wonder whether the Packers’ abysmal defensive performance against Dallas was a one-week blip or a sign that perhaps there are far more issues than we had seen or expected in the Packers’ first three games.
