[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 18858, member: 195"] After suffering through the Pack's dismal performance against New England, it was heartening to watch the Lions play even worse against the Rams. The Packer-Lion game on September 11th should be an even match, and as tromadz said, if the Pack can rattle Harrington early they could gain control of this game. There has been a lot of talk on this board lately about how the preseason either is an accurate indicator of how well the team is going to do in the regular season OR the preseason means nothing at all. The truth is somewhere in between, but I am closer to the first view. Preseason wins and losses mean very little, but you do want to see your team look good overall and you want to see your team's players winning their one-on-one matchups. Thus far the Packers have lost more matchups than they have won, which does not bode well for the regular season. This does not mean that I'm giving up. But it does mean that the team is not likely to get off to a good start, and it's quite possible that when this season is over they will prove to be just an average team, nothing more. What gives me hope is that there are a lot of new players, many of them very young guys, and the new defensive scheme may start coming together for these guys as the season progresses. The offense should still be pretty good. I like our linebackers, and the secondary has potential although it is still a work in progress. The D-line is the big concern at this point. I have very little confidence in these players. With special teams, it's hard to tell because there is so much switching around of personnel during the pre-season. But it's not a good sign when Sherman rides their ***** all week long and they stink just as bad as they did the week before. So call me a pessimist if you want to, but I will be as excited as anyone when the Packers walk out onto Ford Field on opening day. It should be a great game. [/QUOTE]
