Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to watch it. I'm hopeful NFLN will replay sometime in the near future for me to watch then. Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing the development of the following (in no particular order):

1. Bakhiarti at LT. I want to see whether he can translate his progress/development in camp to actual games. I hope they keep him out there even with the number 2's. He needs as much in-game experience as possible before the season.

2. Safety Battle - I really want to see someone distinguish themself. I'd prefer McMillian for a couple reasons. I thought he flashed more last year - seemed to have a knack for the ball and just couldn't seal the deal with an INT. Plus, he's a more physical presence that would be a perfect compliment to Burnett.

3. Young Guns on Defense - I want to see the development of our young players on defense: Datone, Daniels, Neal, Perry, Manning, Barrington, Mulumba, House, Smith, etc.

4. Backup WR's - Same as number three, but at our WR's - Ross and Boykin.

5. RB's - I'm looking forward to seeing Lacy in live game action. And I want to see Franklin start to carve his role out as a change-of-pace, third-down guy.

Crosby to make EVERY FG right down the middle including at least one from beyond 45 yards.

They are replaying the game at midnight on the NFL Network. For those out of state, WTMJ is now broadcasting all Packer games live along with the pre- and post-game shows. Just go to their website and find the link to listen live

Or you can play it safe, shell out $20, and watch any preseason game streaming live at nfl.com. They claim you can watch from a coaches' game tape camera with all 22 players in the shot. I'll find out at 8:00 PM.

That's my plan for preseason. Regular season? I'll probably shell out the $30 or whatever it is to watch the replays on nfl.com when not on national TV.

Someone did not read the rules. I quote:

It's wrong that those of us outside the USA can pay about $200 and watch every game live or on demand. While the backbone of the NFL fans over there are blacked out. But anyway, I'm watching out for Bakhtiari, Datone Jones and the two rookie RBs.

Correction: It looks like the 22 player coaches tape is in the regular season replay package, not preseason live. Also, the regular season replay package is $40, not $30. As one might expect from professionals, the live stream is clean, crisp with no buffering (albeit with a very high speed cable ISP) with some nice navigation features.

I've tried a couple of the bootleg feeds in the past and I've found them to be junk.

DirecTV paid the NFL $1 billion for exclusive USA rights. That's why.

Glowing reports for Bakhitari from 2 different radio stations...

WSSP said VY should be the #2 back up.
