This is a great way to start the season much like New Orleans last year. Quite a tough test, and it'll prepare us for the loooooong season to come. Football's back, people!
Well Bush is the best we have at this time I fear. I'm praying the injury to House doesn't plague him all year. Bush is a good tackler and that should be a plus against Gore. I'm ok with Woodson at safety.
That was a pretty scathing article. I feel your pain, it's a shame when you have one part of your team, not performing up to par, that lets the other two down. Especially when the other two are doing more than enough to win. With our team it's the O with yours the D.
We've been saying the same thing about Alex Smith on our MB, with all the new toys it's time to get it done or next man up.
I believe Capers will get the most out the guys he has available to him and with the Packers incredible offense that'll be more than enough. After reading those articles yesterday I can see him putting in overtime to shut those writers up.While it would be nice to have, we don't need a defense as good as you guys have. We do need one that is capable and I don't think ours met that standard last year. I think we will be this year.
The talk around the campfire is that there will be a more "vertical" attack but we'll have to wait and see if Alex Smith can shed his "Captain Checkdown" label just yet. Frankly, I think the WR's that we got are just there to keep teams honest and not necessarily a change of offensive philosophy. Harbaugh's run roughly 60% of the time anywhere he's been, even with Luck at Stanford. We'll see.This is disconcerting. Bush has the potential to make Alex Smith look like a pro-bowl caliber QB.
Guess seeing Moss again, but in a different uniform, will evoke memories. Seeing Rice in a Raiders jersey for the first time broke my heart.Ahhh randy moss back at Lambeau... Can't wait

Oh yeah almost forgot that! Favre in purple was intolerable for the casual fan and for Packer fans I would imagine, inexcusable.Small potatoes. There is nothing that compares to seeing Farve in a Vikings uniform ... it made me disgusted, mad as hell, sick, and a little bit crazy all at the same time.
I was sad to see him in both Seattle and Denver. The mind was willing but the body wasn't able. As much as it hurt to see them in Silver and Black I must admit I did cheer for Jerry, Ronnie and Roger to do well and disappointed that they were let go by the Niners so easily.Meh, he went to Cali once already. I don't think much of it.
Yeah I could see how rice would hurt. That was a tough situation.
What did you think about him in Seattle?
OK Pack fans, U speak of balance offensively, but no offense, even the Saints can be a balanced unit vs our defense. Each and every team to face us including teams with elite running backs give up on the run and become pass heavy or unbalanced as some like to say. To beat us, GB will have to pass the ball 50 to 60 times and do so without error or turnover or fumble. Cedric Benson we faced last year and held him under 4yds per carry. We stuff every rushing attack en route to the passer without ever having to stack the box. This allows our DBs to completely immerse themselves in pass defense not having to worry about leakage up front. A passing team is what we want and we give up yards but not points while forcing a very high amount of turnovers on error and on downs. Then to cap things off, our ST is the league's best so when you have an elite defense and ST, you win the field position battle decidedly.
As for us being run heavy, that is what we do but this year we have playmakers at WR (not as good as yours) and at TE(VD and Walker are better than yours) to force teams to cover them so they can't stack the box to slow down Frank and Kendall. A defense like ours could stop the run with less than 8 in the box but one like yours simply cannot so you will be faced with a quandary stack up or get smacked up. And Benson had a lot of yardage over the years but he appeared to have stayed healthier than Gore with a lot more attempts with less than 4ypc whereas Frank has been a 5ypc RB most of his career. And you have 1 quality RB as to us having a stable along with a better run blocking OL and TEs that block better than anyone. You will not stuff our run and get us off the field without loading up and even then we will make plays in space. The Pack defense just can't cut it and we won't turn it over because we don't make ill advised gunslinging throws. This game will be more likely a battle of attrition and I like our chances.
And you quote the great Bill Walsh which every packer fan should since Holmgren but I was around when the Dallas Cowboys beat us when we had basically the same team GB had and Dallas had a team similar to ours. The sentiment around here was that DAL would not stop our offense and that we were too explosive, well it turned out to be the other way around. We could not score all those TDs we dreamed of because Emmitt and DAL OL was dominating us all game and when we overcommitted Irvin and Novacek were gashing us. They beat us in the trenches for 2 years straight OL and DL until we bought the Super Bowl in 94. We plan on doing the same thing to GB this year.

I know this is a Packer forum but, REALLY??Oh I almost forgot to mention,
Don Hutson > Jerry Rice
Bart Starr > Montana
Ah, yeah, I would go with that.I know this is a Packer forum but, REALLY??
