Also, our Offense had a lot of near misses against the Seahawks. Some of that type of play should be successful against a slightly lesser D.

I think we go down there and beat them.

I think this game will be a Gem to watch.

Packers have 5th ranked defense in ypg right now. They'll go down now with Atlanta in atlanta. But damn, we're looking good right now!

And our offense wasn't as good, but Seattle is tough as nails so that will get better.


We'll see. It's a tough two games to start a season. I was excited going in to this season, but f we win in Atlanta I'll be ecstatic!!

I refuse to believe Atlanta will be loud for a pro football game. With the roof open.

Guess we'll see.

Agree; huge 1st win, 1-1 not a bad start with our schedule but 2-0 would b awesome

Who gets cut this week with Geronimo coming back?

Mebbe Geronimo!

Seriously, they will have to look at Brooks or any of the guys that are last in their personnel group.

Yea, you aren't supposed to start 2-0 with those matchups and if we do, its something to be excited about.

pipkins is my guess.

Apparently Gunter AND Francois.

Atlanta presents some different challenges from Seattle . The greatest of these will be faced by the CB's .

Seattle was a good first test for the Packers , but I never grade on less than 4 games . I'm very pleased with what I see so far , but I'm not ready to start handing out any medals yet. Although Murphy filling in for Bulaga played his guts out against the Seahawks . "At a Boy" !

GB's offense will continue to get even better as the season rolls along. I hope the Defense will be doing so as well .

I expect them to play better offensively than they did yesterday.

Well, they lost their OC, so yeah, it's possible. At least experiencing some early season struggles, anyway.

They had to cut Gunter before the Atlanta game. Every time he even heard Julio Jones name he fell down in the fetal position muttering "think of a safe place"

And Ryan played out of his mind, and IMO over his head last season. Does it continue?
