The Green Bay Packers entered Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks with a sense of urgency, and after four quarters, left with a sorely-needed win.

I had said earlier that if the Packers lost this game, they may have lost their season.  For now, I'll be a little easier on them; however, they were already crowned the winner before taking the field Sunday.

The play of Justin Harrell was impressive, as the Packers sorely needed someone to step up and fill a huge gap in the defensive line. The team was definitely feeding off of his play.

Offensively, I can't find much to pick on; as Aaron Rodgers had an impressive day, going 21/30 with two scores.

The one thing that bothers me is that it took 33 rushes for Ryan Grant to accumulate 90 yards against Seattle. Averaging 2.7 yards a carry against this team is deplorable, especially when your quarterback rushes for 23 yards on six carries.

I think, at this point, the coaching staff should considering a back-by-committee approach, in order to throw defenses off guard. If this team is going to be successful, the running game simply needs to get going to save Aaron's arm and make the Packers multi-dimensional.

Overall, they won a game they should have, so enjoy this victory, but don't let it quench your thirst. The revitalized Indianapolis Colts are on the menu next.

If this team can stay step for step (which I believe they can) with the Colts, they can win this game. If they do, then we can walk with a swagger and aggressively go into the season with high optimism.

If this team falls flat and gets blown out, I think we need to come to an understanding that with some formidable opponents in the next few weeks; we may have to consider this year's possibility of the playoffs is very grim. 

The test is Sunday. I'm seeing a Packers victory 35-31. Let's see what the boys can do in their second "big team" test.
