Last week: 13 (-5)
Record: 6-3
The Packers are 6-3 after a 2-3 start, but since their Houston blowout win, all 3 of their games have been very easy, against St. Louis, Jacksonville, and Arizona and I haven’t been impressed with their performance overall.

Meanwhile, Erik Walden, who has been playing well at linebacker in Perry’s absence, is also out.
Offensively, already missing top receiver Greg Jennings with other starting receiver Jordy Nelson banged up and starting running back Cedric Benson out for a while, they may now be without right tackle Bryan Bulaga for an extended period of time on an already struggling offensive line. The timing could not be worse because their p...
