GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If the first half of the season said anything about the Green Bay Packers, it's that they have a potential playoff team that probably won't win the NFC North.
At 6-3, they're in a far better position at their bye week than they were at this time last season when they were 3-6 and needed to win six of their last eight games to make the playoffs as the final seed.
But in terms of the NFC North, they're still in a heap of trouble -- much like they were a year ago.
