Boy, was it ever nice to come out of watching a Packer game and not feel about 10 years older. It’s not just that the Packers haven’t been fun to watch this year—it’s that they’ve been actively exhausting to watch.
This week against the Dolphins was a game the Packers absolutely had to have, and had to impress in, to prove there’s at least a prayer they can turn their season around. While the team certainly had its struggles, it came out well ahead of a Dolphins team it was supposed to defeat soundly. It’s an encouraging sign, though certainly not yet an indicator that this is a team that’s going to be capable of pushing for a title.
