The potent-on-paper Eagles who can't get out of their own way at 1-3 ... Tony Romo not closing out a game, just when you think he's closed the door on the old criticisms ... Matt Forte playing lights out in search of an extension ... the Steelers looking old, tired and hurt ... and Peyton Manning watching his 2011 slip away.

It's all white noise.

THE story in the NFL is the one you're not hearing enough. Green Bay's quest to repeat looks healthier, and likelier, every day. That's the logline of the 2011 season, plain and simple.

Pack to Back. Sounds pretty cheesy, huh? Well, that was the intent. That's where we're headed, folks. Forget that the Packers are 4-0. Forget that Aaron Rodgers is chucking nerf footballs to wideouts frolicking around without a care in the world.

This is the best team in football. Who's going to stop them? One of the best things that could be happening to the Packers right now is the lack of intense coverage of the team. As the season progresses, and the longer they go undefeated (which I doubt they will), then the stress may build, but don't count on it. The teams already been to the dance once, and the second time for this team may actually be easier.
