[GBRulz]

I'm loving my "homer" FF pick today!! GO CROSBY!!!!!!!

[Lurker64]

Good job by the holder, that was a pretty high snap, I almost swallowed my heart when I saw it which I think is an anatomical impossibility.

[MadtownPacker]

BATTLE TESTED!!!!!!!

[wpony]

Its Gooddddddddddd :twisted:

[The Leaper]

Let me say it again.

CAN THE IDIOTS WHO SUGGESTED WE SHOULD KEEP RAYNER NOW SHUT THE HELL UP PERMANENTLY?

[Lurker64]

Now let's see his squib kick...

[Deputy Nutz]

That was a great hold people, nice kick too!

[Kiwon]

Pack 1-0! Great start.

[PackerTimer]

Nutz, there is another winner for week for you. MASON effing CROSBY.

[cheesner]

thumbs up

MASON CROSBY!Game ball!

[retailguy]

2 seconds left...

[gbgary]

good thing romo wasn't holding that poorly snapped ball

[GBRulz]

No need to call them idiots, Leaper. I mean Rayner was solid at the beginning of last season, too remember.

[Lurker64]

And we pad the stats with another special teams turnover!

PACKERS WIN!

[gbgary]

bishop

[ND72]

[Tarlam!]

Whooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Freak Out]

The D need to win it for us.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Combo game ball...the D and Crosby.

[GBRulz]

FAVRE ties another record for most wins !!

At this rate though, I hope he still breaks the TD record THIS season! :lol:

[b bulldog]

It's good

[BallHawk]

PACKERS WIN!!!!

[MJZiggy]

Them's my BOYS!!!!!! WooooHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[PackerTimer]

The defense sure is going to be fun to watch this year. Hopefully the offense will get in a groove in a week or two and we'll really start to see something.

[b bulldog]

Brett played very heady football this second half

[the_idle_threat]

That was grueling, but we'll take the W.

[b bulldog]

Defense.......Defense.....defense

[BallHawk]

B-Jack did help us in the 4th. You have to give him credit for that.

[MadtownPacker]

Let me say it again.

CAN THE IDIOTS WHO SUGGESTED WE SHOULD KEEP RAYNER NOW SHUT THE HELL UP PERMANENTLY?Im one of those idiots and yes I am a believer now!

[GBRulz]

Brett played very heady football this second half

OMG, you complimented Brett?? :taunt:

[b bulldog]

Huuuge win

[cpk1994]

I'm loving my "homer" FF pick today!! GO CROSBY!!!!!!!

That makes two of us!!!!!!!!!

[Lurker64]

It was an ugly game hard fought game between the Packers and a legitimately good team in the Eagles. Both teams made a lot of mistakes in places, and both teams played well in places.

Good teams win ugly games, we're not necessarily a good team yet, but this is a good start. When the Bears were building their superbowl team, they won a lot of games like this too. No matter how bad we played or how unlikely this outcome was, we won and there's absolutely no shame in that.

It's always good to get a win, but McCarthy and the team can't possibly rest on their laurels after this one. They have a lot of things to fix after this game. But watching those mistakes on film is going to be a lot more fun knowing the outcome.

[Freak Out]

Freaking FOX Alaska.....the Bucs vs Seachicks are the second game. :x :x :x :x

[GBRulz]

agreed 100%, Lurker.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Just once, ONCE... I'd like to be able to watch a game and relax!

Man, we are missing Green. Jackson is just too raw.

Jackson did OK. As did Wynn, for that matter.

The Oline has a long way to go.

[BallHawk]

Freaking FOX Alaska.....the Bucs vs Seachicks are the second game. :x :x :x :x

Same in Florida.

[The Leaper]

No need to call them idiots, Leaper. I mean Rayner was solid at the beginning of last season, too remember.

The point was that he faltered at the end and was clearly outkicked by Crosby in preseason, even though Rayner still did well.

You are an idiot if you suggested we should keep Rayner over Crosby after camp...and should be rightly called on it. Crosby has the potential to be an elite kicker for years. I don't think that can be said of Rayner.

[BallHawk]

C'mon, the Pack won. Kumbaya everybody.

[Lurker64]

Also, does anybody know where I can buy a Mason Crosby jersey or do I just have to have a custom one made?

[b bulldog]

The Oline and running game are bigtime concerns

Nothing like some good name calling between Packer fans. Idiots!

[b bulldog]

He was clutch today

[Lurker64]

We won! Everybody stop fighting!

[b bulldog]

Hopefully Jennings will give the O a big jump start next week

Well, I didn't really care either way, I thought both kickers were pretty close throughout camp, but I'm happy with what I see so far, that's for sure! But I'm just saying that Rayner also had a strong start to last season.

Glad to see a W today, but our OL should be ripped a new one after the way they played today.

[b bulldog]

Crosby, the obvious player of the game

[falco]

Crosby, the obvious player of the game

i'd do a dual nomination for the eagles 2 punt returners

[GrnBay007]

OT - Grossman got abused right from the get go in the bear/charger game. :twisted:

Go bolts

[RIPackerFan]

Great win - my wife - with a 1:30 left tried to get intimate - I don't have TIVO - so I disregarded her advances - now she is mad, but hey, I'm happy, the Pack won.

[GBRulz]

I have Chicago and SD on here.

[BallHawk]

And the Brewers won and the Cubs are going to lose!

Life is good. 8-)

[b bulldog]

I have in here also

[Iron Mike]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/ggarrett/12586568ve4.gif

It's been a while since we started off with a win, hasn't it???

[Kiwon]

A good kicker is just one piece of the puzzle, but its an important piece.

Nice to see that Crosby can make some clutch kicks like Longwell did.

3 FGs to start a career is a great confidence booster.

[MadtownPacker]

Great win - my wife - with a 1:30 left tried to get intimate - I don't have TIVO - so I disregarded her advances - now she is mad, but hey, I'm happy, the Pack won.Tell her the next time she does thatr you are filing for divorce! :lol:

[Harlan Huckleby]

The Oline and running game are bigtime concerns

true, but I was impressed with Jackson's reads today. And Wynn could be a sleeper. And Morency will be another option next week.

[FritzDontBlitz]

game balls to the defense and special teams.

personal game balls for jared bush and mason crosby.

the packers winning with special teams. its been a while, hasnt it?

i also think brett favre makes a damn good game manager.

now, since fox denied me the last :59 of the packers game i guess i'll watch the bears get their asses whooped while i convert the game recording to divx or xvid. (email me for more info).

peace out

oh snap, grossman just got hammered. what a shame. :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Lurker64]

Crosby, the obvious player of the game

Jolly definitely gets a nod for his performance on defense. He was big today, batted down passes and made the play on the 4 yard loss after the Packers' last turnover when the Eagles practically got the ball in field goal range.

[b bulldog]

Everyone in WI will have an extra spring in their step tomorrow and a bigger smile on their faces. Monday's truely are better after Packer victories.

[b bulldog]

Jolly was big and so was Kampy. Man do I defensive games.

[Lurker64]

Jolly was big and so was Kampy. Man do I defensive games.

Good offensive victories are more fun to watch, but good defensive victories feel better afterwards IMO.

[gbgary]

we stole one today.........and we'll keep it. go bolts!!

[b bulldog]

I'm a defensive guy, every snap is big.

[Badgepack]

Great win, at home, teach all the youngters how to win the close games, good defense and special teams, and against a playoff team. Good job Pack.

[the_idle_threat]

Jenkins got a lot of pressure today, even when going against double team blocks. He was the guy that chased McNabb into Corey Williams' arms for the only Green Bay sack.

[Kiwon]

On the radio, McCarthy is blaming himself for the poor offense play calling and the playbook for the Eagles being too thick.

[b bulldog]

Offensive games are what the league wants, gets more seats filled and more TV's tuned in but a smash mouth defensive game,I'm all over that.

[BallHawk]

We've got a good chance to go 2-0 playing the Giants next week. Hopefully the return of Jennings and Morency will give this offense some oomph.

[b bulldog]

MM is a solid coach

[b bulldog]

I picked Philly in this game but I posted that if they win, they'll be playing the Chargers at Lambeau being 2-0 and the Chargers will be 1-1. The Pats will beat them next weekend.

[b bulldog]

Avant probably did more today than any other UM wr in the last decade :lol:

[Freak Out]

Great win - my wife - with a 1:30 left tried to get intimate - I don't have TIVO - so I disregarded her advances - now she is mad, but hey, I'm happy, the Pack won.

Ha ha...my wife is out of town and called me right before Crosby kicked the winner.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jolly & Crosby get game balls.

[cpk1994]

And the Brewers won and the Cubs are going to lose!

Life is good. 8-)The Cubs have indeed lost 10-5 and the Brewers are now in sole posession of 1st. Have the Pack and Brewers ever been in first at the same time?

[b bulldog]

yawn.....are the Brewers still playing??

[the_idle_threat]

Potential Game Headline: Two Muffs Are Better Than One

[cpk1994]

yawn.....are the Brewers still playing??

Yes, and they are just as big as the Pack right now.

[b bulldog]

Actually no they are not. I will personally make a wager with you that TV ratings will be at least 30%higher than the Brewers game. During the preseason, Packer games were 30% higher than their games that were played at the same time. The Brewers will never be as big as the Packers, period.

[cpk1994]

During the preseason, Packer games were 30% higher than their games that were played at the same time. The Brewers will never be as big as the Packers, period.That is an unfair argument to make, seeing as how the Packers are available over the air, and the Brewers are only availble on FSN. So, I call BS in that one.

[b bulldog]

William Henderson is on 620 TMJ with Michaels

[FritzDontBlitz]

Potential Game Headline: Two Muffs Are Better Than One

how about "can't get enuff of that funky muff?"

[b bulldog]

You want more, 620 TMJ is the flagfship for both, who was on today?????

[b bulldog]

I'll even do radio ratings

[the_idle_threat]

Another good candidate. :lol:

[cpk1994]

[b bulldog]

The Pack could be on ESPN and the Breqwers on a national game and the Pack would easily outdraw them.

[b bulldog]

merchandise sales,waiting lists,ticket prices, sorry but your dead wrong and if you live in WI you would know this.

[the_idle_threat]

If we're gonna compare apples to oranges, then how about this one:

The Brewers will draw something like 2 million fans in live attendance this season. The Packers will draw less than 600 thousand. Clearly the Brewers are more popular. :lol:

[b bulldog]

three hour pregame show on the 620 MILWAUKEE(bREWERES HOME RIGHT)three hour postgame, Milwaukee TV will lead with the Packers win, FOX 6 half hour show at 10;30, on and on.

[Willard]

Freaking FOX Alaska.....the Bucs vs Seachicks are the second game. :x :x :x :x

Same in Florida.

I am happy happy with the big win -- but furious with Fox!! In SF, the last play they showed was the punt fumble recovery. With 53 seconds left, and the game tied these network bastards switched to the Lion/Raider game!!! Arggggggghhhhh! They switched to a game between 2 teams that won a combined 5 games last year. F*&^%(* Bastards, DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!!

OK, now that i got that off my chest ---HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!!!!

[b bulldog]

Take any 8 games you want and I'll do your comparison.

[cpk1994]

The Pack could be on ESPN and the Breqwers on a national game and the Pack would easily outdraw them.YOu are really grasping. THe Brewers are in 1st Place in a hot pennant race. The Packers, just started. No way do the Packers easily outdraw the Brewers. The ratings would be comprable. Especially in Milwaukee.

[b bulldog]

I'm done with this cause this isn't even worth arguing about cause the Pack reigns supreme in WI and second would be UW football, sorry buddy but the numbers don't lie.

[b bulldog]

All I will say is look at the ratings

[b bulldog]

I wonder if Hendo will be on the postgame show for the entire season?

[the_idle_threat]

You're right, of course, bulldog. I'm just messin with ya.

[b bulldog]

How about those Packers??? :D

[MJZiggy]

Great win - my wife - with a 1:30 left tried to get intimate - I don't have TIVO - so I disregarded her advances - now she is mad, but hey, I'm happy, the Pack won.

OK, she totally has her priorities in the wrong place, but you need to explain to her what you're gonna do to her once they win...

Ha!

Are you serious?

This is a Packer state. The Brewers game was on one, yes, one TV in a sports bar of 50+ tvs. Packer Game was on at least 30. The cubs game was on another. The rest were the steelers-browns game.

[digitaldean]

How fast do you think the Eagles are going to call back Jeremy Bloom to return punts for them?

He wasn't a great receiver but he was quick and could at least handle the ball.

Same thing here in Detroit, Willard. It was right after the Pack recovered (another) muffed Philly punt - I thought it was with 59 seconds left, but whatever. Got the announcement that we'd be switched to Detroit-Oakland, and I had a fit. Who gives a damn about the kickoff of that game? Even a Detroit fan would rather see the end of the Packer game, doncha think?

It was nerve wracking. But the Packers won! Yeah baby! Yes the o-line sucked on running plays, and Jon Ryan - WTF in the second half? - but it was a win.

It's been awhile since the Pack didn't lay an egg in the opener. I am very happy. However, doesn't Mason Crosby look a whole lot like that one midget actor dude in Hollywood? Anyone know who I'm talking about?

Johnny Jolly rocked. The whole d-line rocked (okay, KGB still gets pushed wide a lot). Barnett played well, Hawk and Poppinga were quiet. Jarret Bush was very good most of the time, Bigby was good most of the time.

How bad is Harris's injury? Any word?

i wonder if vai sikkahema is still working out....

[swede]

Congratulations, Packer nation on the big first day win!

The only player I am really ticked off at is Atari Bigby for laying that vicious DB hit on Al Harris' ulnar nerve. Sharper used to pull that stunt in his first couple of seasons--he'd try to lay on a big DB hit on a receiver, lower his head and take a bad angle, and subsequently knock his own defensive teammate off the ball carrier.

Mason Crosby was money. But I don't get Leaper's name-calling. Rayner had a bit more experience and had done nothing to lose his job. I would have been disappointed if they'd kept Rayner but not outraged. Let's all simply agree that Mason made tough pressure kicks from distance and we are happy to have Marcol and Stenerud's heir and the next holder of the NFL's record long field goal in the fold.

Brett. You are amazing. Every one of your teammates better do some soul searching about how they want to play the game when they have the privilege of strapping it on with you every week.

Baddest Bear--well, at least your team tried really hard and that counts for a lot in life in most instances, but in your case the Bears still suck.

Go Pack!

[RIPackerFan]

Great win - my wife - with a 1:30 left tried to get intimate - I don't have TIVO - so I disregarded her advances - now she is mad, but hey, I'm happy, the Pack won.

OK, she totally has her priorities in the wrong place, but you need to explain to her what you're gonna do to her once they win...

To be honest - she gets a free pass this week - she got me tickets next week (through her contacts) to the NYG game.

And I don't know if you are married with kids - but the window of opportunity is small and fleeting......so needless to say - I think I lost my chance for a few days. But once again, worth it.
