Stat Pack: One-Dimensional Green Bay Packers in Big Trouble

Tweet

Maybe the Mainstream Media needs to wake up and realize that there's still more to football than the offensive aerial assault. Sure, the Green Bay Packers went 15-1 last year by primarily attacking through the air, but this year sees the Packers facing a 2-3 start with the dominant Houston Texans on tap for Sunday night's game.

In the Week 6 edition of "Stat Pack," Adam Dobrowolski explains why this should be no surprise involving the Packers' decline. After all, Green Bay set a league record for Offensive Passer Rating last year, and that wasn't going to happen in 2012 by the laws of Mathletics. Now that Aaron Rodgers came back down to Earth, suddenly this team is scrambling to find the balance it had during the run to win Super Bowl XLV. The cheese may get a bit more bitter in Wisconsin soon.

Also of note, Dobrowolski discusses which two coaches deserve heavy scrutiny for costing their respective teams some ball games, while he looks at the silver lining to the Kansas City Chiefs' horrid start. What about regression says things will look up for the Turbo Lover (Jamaal Charles) and the Chiefs offense?

As for a look ahead to Week 6, find out which game could make season-changing implications in what was expected to be one of the league's closest divisional races.
