Where do we go from here?

Everyone put up 1 finger if you are #1...Not so fast Aaron.

Well Brett Favre made his historic return to Lambeau, got booed, and left with a "W". I watched the first half of the game and during halftime I set my alarm so that I could take a 20 minute nap and I ended up sleeping through the 2nd half. Regardless, i'm going to talk about the game anyways as well as talk about the rest of the season for the Packers.

It was a long game and the Packers put up a fight, but the momentum and the game were lost in the first quarter with Johnny Jolly's personal foul for headbutting on what would have been 4th down and a FG but instead lead to a TD for the Queens. I don't care what happened the rest of the game, that set everything in motion. What a tool!

After that the Packers did what they could and put up a fight but could not win the battle for field position because of Percy Harvin's return game. Aside from that, Greg Jennings made his return to the Packers for the first game this season (implying that he was worthless the first 7 games). Brandon Chillar has a broken hand and had surgery this morning, and Ahman Green returned kicks, weird.

I think that this was a good game for Packer fans because it showed us the most important thing of the season...the Vikings are better than us! Anyone can point out what we should have done or could have done, but lets all be honest and move on by saying that the Vikings are looking like one of the best teams in the NFL right now and there is no arguing it. I think we can rule out a Division Championship, but I think its time to start playing for a Wildcard, which is completely possible at this point.

The Packer's remaining schedule is as follows:

@ Tampa

vs Dallas

vs San Fran

@ Detroit

vs Baltimore

@ Chicago

@ Pittsburgh

vs Seattle

@ Arizona

The Packers right now are sitting at 4-3 and have the tougher part of their schedule upcoming. of the 9 remaining games, I think that if the Pack can win 5 games they give themselves a chance at a wildcard, and any more than that would be fantastic.

The Packers also have to rely on other teams throughout the NFC from this point forward. Right now the teams in front of us are the Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Saints and Vikings and we are tied with the Bears. The Saints, Vikings, and 1 of the 3 teams in the East will be division champions, and there are then 3 other teams ahead of the Packers in the race for the Wild Card. That being said, there will be little room for error should the Pack hope to make the playoffs this season. All we can do at this point is hope.
