OK OK, I can't sit on the sideline anymore. It's amusing how trolls trot out 2 or 3 or even 4 year old games to bolster an argument about what their team can accomplish. You know, like how they clobbered the Packers years ago.
Well, SWW, did your team have any recent changes, you know, like a D-coordinator who completely revamped the defense and made it #2 in scoring? We did. Since that game this is a wholly new Green Bay team. If I have to spell that out to you then you're looking at things a little narrowly.
You believe your running game is "fixed" because of a San Deigo cast off and a rookie? Well we think ours is fixed too and we have a 1200 yard rusher back this year, a 2nd year RB phenom and a rookie RB, the latter two who are also dangerous receiving threats.
Your team has good receivers, I know, I read some about your team. Did you see what draft gurus said about the Packers picking up Randall Cobb? They felt it was almost unfair, another target in likely the best receiving corps in the league. Don't believe me? Go do some research on what experts think about our team.
It's fine you want to just throw out silly predictions on the game. But please don't expect anybody here to think of you as a knowledgeable fan.
Oh, we have two rookie TEs with superb pass catching ability to team with Jermichael Finley and another 2nd year player who is steadily improving with athletic abilities similar to Finley. Yea, you've done your homework.
So after Nawlins loses in the opener and your team works it's way past the Falcons and Bucs of this league to a 10-6 record, let's see if they've got enough iron to win 3 straight on the road and then win the SB. Sure, sure, they can do it.
Personally, I'm real confident in a Packers win, but no chance in heck I'm overlooking the Saints. And by the way, it's ridiculous to come here trolling, most fans here will tell you we were all rooting for you against the ViQueens.
We respect your championship, we know what it's like, we have 13. Nobody here called your team "lucky" or "overrated" or anything like we hear here. Alot of football fans were cheering for your franchise, please don't go stink up the good feeling many in the NFL have of your team by thinking you're owed anything. So chin up, it's not a bad thing to get beat by the champs opening day.
Here's hoping for an injury free game and I know I'll be looking forward to meeting again in the playoffs. I think the Saints are 2nd best in the NFC and I believe alot of people would agree with me.
