NEW YORK (AP)The Philadelphia Eagles offseason overhaul hasnt gone unnoticed in Green Bay. Neither has the hype thats come with it.
While the reigning Super Bowl champion Packers are taking the Eagles seriously, theyve been mildly amused at what they see as a rush to crown new conference favorites before the season. Given the chance, Green Bay is confident it will bring the dream team back to reality.

On paper, I guess theyre the dream team, Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop said. Youve definitely got to go out on the field and make it happen. So well see.
The Eagles positioned themselves as the Packers top challenger in the NFC after adding a wealth of top-line talent, including cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Not to mention former Packers defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins.
Were a confident bunch, Packers wide receiver James Jones said. We truly dont pay attention to who everybody gets, we truly dont care who everybody gets. We believe when we step on that field were going to win the game, no matter who it is. If we happen to run into them, well be ready.
