I'm trying to remain optimistic, but every Scott Wells story that keeps popping up is making me a little nervous."
I know Trom will say that everything will be fine blah blah blah. But I'm pumped, and a little bit worried. We really need to come out with a win here."
There is one thing that Packer management can do nothing about. it is injuries. Last year Packer had very few injuries, this year there are more. Some of the 2nd stringers will have to step up and do the job this coming Monday against the Vikings. It takes a complete roster of team to do the job. I realize there are questions mark a certain positions, especially at Quarterback for the first time since 1992. But that was going to happen either now or probably next year.
The Packers are known to have depth at most postions . It will be tested immediately in the first game. We can only hope our non starters can pass the test against the Vikings.
It would help if Packer team with injuries can win the first game of the year, but it is not the end of world if it doesn't happen. This is the NFL- and as the old saying goes. On any given Sunday any NFL team can beat any other team in the NFL.
Prime example:The Gaints had a "rocky start" to the '07 season. The NY Media and Giants fans " trashed " the NY Giant Head Coach ( wanted him fired), and also trashed the Giant team a, especailly the Giant QB-Manning. However In the later part of the season the NY Gaints on road beat every team they played , The Giants played their best football in the last half of the season against the best in NFC.. The Giants won their last six games, as they went" on a roll" into the Super Bowl. The Giants end up in the Super Bowl and beat the undefeated Patriots.
In early part of the season, the Green Bay Packers easily defeated the NY Giants in NY City, but in NFL Championship game at LF in Green Bay., The Packers in OT lost to Giants by 3 points. The Green Bay Packers in '07 season was opposite of the Gaints. In the first half of the '07 season the Packers were the team that were undefeated and "were on a roll". But the Packer did not play their best football in second half of the season, expecially against the Bears (twice) and against the the Cowboys.
What will happen this season,? There are many questions and few answers. Only time weill tell us!!!
