The Green Bay Packers could think it is 2011 for all we know. Maybe that is why they are playing so well in this season where they are peaking at the right time in a way that reminds me of their latest Super Bowl run. Aaron Rodgers and company are dominating the competition, and you should check out my five observations about their 53-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Packers fans were terrified during that game when it seemed like Rodgers hurt his hamstring. Fortunately for the state of Wisconsin, their QB has looked spry since then, and could be in the running for NFL MVP.

Mark Sanchez may have been able to get away with grabbing cheesesteaks after his "Monday Night Football" win, however, the Packers made sure he would do no such celebrating on Sunday.

Micah Hyde took a first-quarter punt return to the house, and then his team got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for excessively celebrating their 17-0 lead. Shoot, if Rodgers was my quarterback, I'd probably celebrate too.

If Jordy Nelson does not make the Pro Bowl after this brilliant season, then something has gone wrong with the system. He had a number of amazing catches against the Eagles.

The Packers carried a 30-6 lead into halftime, and you could tell already that Mark Sanchez was never going to make enough throws for a comeback.
