So far, the NFL season is off to a less-than-spectacular start. Your team is 1-1, hasn’t looked particularly impressive in either game and very easily could be 0-2 (even though it should have won both). And your star quarterback is getting hit more than Juan Manuel Marquez did on Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather.
All of a sudden, some fans might be wondering if the high expectations before the season were way off. Maybe this team isn’t as good as everyone thought they’d be.
What is going on with the Packers and Patriots?
Well, the Packers are struggling with stupid penalties and offensive line troubles. Aaron Rodgers has no time to throw the ball, and when he does, frequently he holds on to it far too long. As a result of both problem, he’s been sacked a league-high 10 times in two games.
About 1,000 miles to the east, Tom Brady hasn’t looked much like the Brady of 2001-07. Aside from the last five minutes against the Bills in Week 1, he’s been pretty average, at best. And coming off his knee injury, he just looks uncomfortable in the pocket and seems terrified of being hit.
If the Patriots and Packers keep playing this way, there’s no hope of them living up to this season’s expectations.

From everything I've been told, they don't give out championships in September (although Rex Ryan and the Jets might disagree this morning).
There's no doubt the Patriots arent' the same team they were two years ago, but they'll find an identity, hatch a new game plan and iron out the wrinkles.
The Packers will do the same. The bottom line is that both teams have talent. The only problem is that they're realizing other teams do, too.
We're two weeks into the season. No reason to panic just yet.
so according to Josh...."Brady seems terrified of being hit".
.....................Josh is trying WAY TOO HARD in his attempt to become the next Ron Borges or Dan Shaugnessy.....give it up Josh, those 2 guys have writing talent
Don't you mean Ron Borges just copies somebody else's writing talent?
