The Frozen Tundra could once again be the site for one if not two NFC playoff games this upcoming season. The most impressive moves made by the packers were letting that Southern Mississippi Alum pack his bags and trusting a very young QB in Cal Berkley Alum Aaron Rodgers and making the adjustment from a good 4-3 defense to hiring Defensive coordinator Dom Capers to implement the rugged and complicated at times 3-4 Defense, where the linebackers and safeties are key components.

Offensively the Packers are in the elite because of Rodgers, an above average running game, and a top 5 Receiving Corps in the law firm of Jennings Driver & Finley. The pack could move the ball on just about anyone and that spells trouble for the Vikes, Bears, Lions, and the other NFC teams that stands in their way.

Defensively lets start with the former Heisman Trophy winner from Maize & Blue, Mr. Charles Woodson, the reigning 2009 NFL Defensive MVP and Al Harris, two of the best corner tandems in the game. You Couple that with a Pro-Bowl Safety in Nick Collins and a LB core led by rookie, yeah I said rookie from "The Men of Troy", Clay Matthews Jr. with Barnett and Hawk holding the Middle down. This is a top flight defense that is only going to get better now under their second year under Coach Capers and that 3-4.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy and the Packers have the stars aligned for them. Everything is in place for the Pack to make a deep run into the playoffs barring injuries. With Aaron Rodgers calling the shots on Offense and Capers and the boys fine tuning the D, teams need to get their winter gear ready for the playoffs because someone will be headed to LAMBEAU in January 2011.
