How does this keep happening?

I'm not complaining, but how do the Packers keep winning? They completely lucked out again last night and won. Cutler fumbled on the 1 yard line to prevent an early touchdown. And what was that last play Denver ran before the end of the game and barely getting a field goal, it looked like a play Mike McCarthey drew up. Then they needed a miracle throw from the noodle-armed retiree to win it. EdGrimley may have to give him a new nickname here pretty soon. They have yet to look really "good" in a game they won, and most games the other team has had more total yards than them. It seems that every week the other team makes some bone-headed plays and gives the Packers the victory.

If they had actually put any effort into gettting a running back this off season they could reasonably make a run at the big game this year. But with this running game they can not go any where. Once the weather turns bad and they can't pass they are going to lose a lot more games. Once teams figure out they can't run and put in 6 defensive backs, they won't be able to pass.

At the beginning of the season I predicted they would be 6-10, it now looks like I was wrong. I now think they will make the playoffs, not sure if they win the division (Detroit looks good too, and can run and pass). I predict they will be 10-6, but will lose their first playoff game. With no running game they could lose to the worst team in the league at any point

Actually, didn't you bet me that they would win less than 5 games?
