Official Game Day Thread: Green Bay Packers @ Carolina - 9/18: Win 30 - 23

The coaches would NEVER do it, and I'm pretty sure they'll be emphasizing Carolina all week long, but if the game starts and Carolina doesn't show much resistance, there's a big possibility they get complacent.

If it starts too easy, they could definitely be thinking that they can score anytime, and if somehow Carolina gets it together and pulls a lead, it could be too late.

But, honestly, otherwise I don't think we lose this game.

i think the packers will take care of the panthers...maybe it'll be close at first but they'll pull away. i think they're in very good shape to start 3-0.

I hope for an injury free game for both sides

The Packers would never over look a "next game" to prep for another game.. Even though we're not a good team, we are in the NFC.. a conference game.. down the road games in conference mean more toward tie breakers.. You won't over look this game.

We have good skill players, Smith, Shockey Olsen, D Williams, Steward,, and time will tell if Cam is one of these.. but the others are a proven quanity.. There's not a coach on you staff that is overlooking this game.

On the one hand, I expect the Packers to win.
On the other, they are playing a professional (Not some community college) team at home.
I mean, the Panthers have the best team they can put together.
So I can see it going either way even though I think the Pack will win.

They probably won't over look this game too much. But you better believe they are already preparing for the Bears. Don't underestimate either the necessity of beating NFC North opponents or the deep deep rivalry between Chicago and Green Bay.

urlacher's mom died. be interesting to see how he plays the next few weeks...(and rip mrs. urlacher)

Looks like Thomas Davis is hyping his team. Good for him. I am hoping the Panthers fight hard and the Packers fight harder. Though I just checked and my supervisor scheduled me to work during the game, I changed my mind of hoping for an amazing Packers game, and I hope Starks, Grant and Kuhn drive the ball down to the endzone like crazy, and MM gives A-Rod a small break from passing so much.

I read that in the paper today. I feel feally bad for him. Losing a parent is never easy.

I have made my official preview for the week 2 Packers Panthers game. Check it out here..

But on another note, does anyone know the status of Tramon Williams?

Got 3 tickets for Row 3 right behind the Packers bench!!! I'm so pumped! Can't wait to see if I can get a couple signatures!!!

Hey dose any one no were I can watch a stream of the next game. I live in California and it dose not come on out hear. Do you guys no of a good site I can go to watch the game. let me no what I can do. Thanks.

It should be on Fox on Sunday. The Packers are going to be on a lot of nationally televised games this year.

Newton had a surprise impact last week... that is all it was, surprise. Green Bay will plant him on the ground so often his a$$ sweat will fertilize Bank of America Stadium (turf or not!) and you'll have a full crop of corn by the end of the 3rd quarter.

As for Tebow... I have no idea how you can call Tebow a "complete bust" when he really hasn't had a chance to to play. Given the coaching staff, the ragtag offensive line and lack of talent the Bronco's have, Aaron Rodgers would have a hard time winning. Adrian Peterson would be lucky to pull more than 45 yards a game. Tebow is a very intelligent young man with an excellent understanding of the game. Now, I'm not saying he should have been a 1st round pick, but come on, give the guy a break.

Packers 35
Panther 10

no I checked.. nothing. Only on DirectTV

Boo! I double checked as well and it's some other game. SMH. Well, at least I have NFL Sunday Ticket for the internet...I can watch it that way.

now that's a true fan... I guess I am just too cheap...lol

I think you're thinking of the other Steve Smith who is now with the Eagles.

There are two Steve Smiths? Wow. Reminds me of my MLB gaffe, where there are two Chris Carpenters, one for the Cardinals and one for the Cubs. Honestly thought they did some sort of backdoor trade with each other.

Inactive for Packers today: RB Alex Green, CB Davon House, CB Tramon Williams, LB Frank Zombo, T Derek Sherrod, DE Mike Neal, LB Vic So'oto. More game info:http://www.packers.com/

I was hoping So'oto would see the field today but i guess it was wishful thinking. Hopefully him and Tramon Williams will be ready to go next week.

Online stream anyone?

Wow lots of Panther receivers wide open!
