USA Today predicts a Packers-Patriots Super Bowl

[texaspackerbacker]

I've been a Packer fan 3 or 4 years longer than that, and I'm here to tell you, when you have the greatest QB in history - which we do, PASS FIRST is the way to go. Hopefully the Packers will play that style again and even more effectively with the new TEs, a healthier Nelson, and a veritable shitload of other WR talent. The Running Game needs to be change of pace and big play oriented - it should be that with Montgomery and the rookies.

McCarthy pisses me off at times too with the "playing not to lose" thing, but the fact is, not losing is ...... winning.

The thing that needs to be upgraded, of course, is Defense, especially Pass Defense. We have gotten by on Capers' smoke and mirrors for a long time. We still don't have the personnel to play teams straight up/no compensation and trickery. Hopefully, though, with new Corners, continued improvement from Clark, solid OLB pass rush from at least 4 guys, and at least adequate ILB play, we will be enough better to hold opponents to less points than Aaron Rodgers gets us.

I am in my 70th year but maybe as I thought; I am not the oldest Packer fan here at Packerrats.

I'm 70 also, but I apparently started out a little younger. Tobin Rote was the QB throwing to Billy Howton, and Breezy Reed and Fred Cone were in the backfield. Bobby Dillon (whose grandson and my son-in-law played on the same college golf team) was the top DB, and of course, Hawg Hanner in the D Line.

I think there are a couple of even older old timers here, although I doubt any have been fans for longer.

My connection to the Packers was the Milwaukee Braves. I certainly was a Brave fan in 1957 and somehow connected that to the Green Bay Packers.

I just yesterday set down a story on my Hero Henry 'Hammerin Hank' Aaron; and his quest to Tie and break Babe Ruth's Home Run Record. All the bigotry and death threats he suffered on that journey.

Some of you fellas are making me feel like a kid at 63.

Pugger, I didn't realize you were one of us!

Pugger, I didn't realize you were one of us!

She is not just one of us but rather falls into a whole different category !

Pugger may claim she is a whole lot sexier.

I was 30+ years ago but no so much now.

If our defense this year is just average this should be a fun season. Look how far we got with that mess last season?
