Let's Not Call for Ted Thompson's Head Just Yet

Come season's end, the Packers will most likely not be in the playoffs. They are in a division at this point in time where they can still win. However, this team does not seem to have the same energy it did last season to pull that off.

The month of November was not friendly to the Green Bay Packers. In Week Nine, the Packers visited Tennessee and almost made them lose their first game of the season. Instead, the Packers lost in overtime 19-16.

Week 10, the Packers traveled to Minnesota to play the division rival Vikings. It was a different Viking's team than earlier in the season. The Packers would eventually lose the game 28-27, regardless of the fact that they scored two touchdowns in the matter of a minute or less.

Week 11 brought their only win of November, as they demolished the Chicago Bears in Green Bay. Ryan Grant had his best game of the season and second best game of his career. The Cheese Heads won 37-3.

Then came a game that brought all of the Rodgers' haters back out of their little shells they crawled under. The Green Bay quarterback threw three interceptions in a game that they would lose 51-29. The New Orleans Saints played a full 60 minutes of football, while the Green Bay Packers only played 30 minutes of football.

This bring up Week 13, where they had the game. Aaron Rodgers led the team down the field for a comeback. Ryan Grant was sidelined with a thumb injury. Brandon Jackson stepped up and put a spark in the running game. However, both their efforts were for nothing as the Pack fell for 35-31.
