Packers Fighting to Stay Alive

Today?s game is a monumental one of the Green Bay Packers who are 0-3 for the first time since 1988. The Packers will be playing at North Carolina, another team that has a lot to prove. Who will emerge as victorious is anyone?s guess at this point. What is certain is that both teams will approach this game as if we were in the playoffs.

The Packers need to return to their bread and butter which is their running game. Ahman Green need to get at least 30 touches, for the Packers to have any shot at winning the game. The Packer?s wide receivers need to step up and help Brett Favre by making big plays.

Expect Favre to raise his game to the occasion and pull some trick out of his old hat. If by any chance the Packers lose today, Mike Sherman will have a lot of explaining to do to Lambeau Field faithfuls who will demand an immediate coaching change.
