The Pack is back.
Or are they?
The Chargers will certainly find out Sunday when they make a rare regular-season appearance at Green Bay.
The good news for the Packers is that they have defeated the Philadelphia Eagles (16-13) and New York Giants (35-13).
But neither of those teams has won this season, so it’s hard to tell where the Pack stands right now.
Brett Favre may never retire. His quarterback rating of 84.0 is nothing to brag about thus far, but he does have those two wins to show for it.
Donald Driver is off to a solid start with 14 receptions and 1 touchdown, yet the Packers’ running game has looked like LaDainian Tomlinson in 2007.
And that’s where the issue comes in for the Chargers.
Has LT just had two off-games so far, or are other teams keying on him so much that he’s bound to take an individual step back in 2007?
This much is for sure: If Philip Rivers and the passing game don’t start stepping it up; opponents won’t have much more to concentrate on than LT.
The Chargers can only get away with it for so long if Antonio Gates is going to be their only legitimate receiver.
The good news for the Chargers is that nose tackle Jamal Williams is expected to play this week. Without him, San Diego loses its top defensive player.
We’ll see how Tim Dobbins does in place of the injured Matt Wilhelm at linebacker. (Yes, this is the spot that was formerly occupied by team leader Donnie Edwards.)
It’s a revenge game of sorts for the Chargers, as they try to prove that last week’s 38-14 loss at New England was an off day; not a trend.
It says here they bounce back this week.
Prediction: Chargers 24, Packers 16

I think AJ better hope the Chargers win this weekend. Otherwise he will look real stupid for taking Norv over Marty.
The Chargers ain't gonna win. They stink.
