Midseason Report

Green Bay Packers (4-3)
Grade: C

What they’ve done well: Forget Brett Favre. Green Bay has a great asset in Aaron Rodgers. He is a quarterback who can win games because he finds big-play receivers like Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. If only the Packers could protect him a little bit, then this team would have a chance to contend for the playoffs. The Packers have shown significant improvement on defense as they are giving up 283.4 yards per game, ranking 4th in the league.

Needs improvement: The play of the offensive line has been disastrous. The Packers have given up a league-high 31 sacks and to his credit, Rodgers shows no signs of shying away or changing the gameplan. But if that continues, Rodgers may not last. The poor offensive line play is having a significant impact on the running game. They are averaging 114.0 yards per game, 16th overall.
