Packers-Bengals OFFICIAL game thread

[Joemailman]

Sounds as if Rogers will only play about 1 qtr... is that really enough??

Foe the first preseason game, it's enough. They need to see what Brohm and Flynn can do more than they need to see what Arod can do.

[CaliforniaCheez]

1) How well does Abdul Hodge play? Between he and Bishop who gets time at outside linebacker. How does Tracey White play? White and Hodge are competing with Bishop for #5 and possibly a #6 spot.

2) Can Moll and Giacomini show enough to get more preseason time or are they in the death spiral of getting cut.

3) D-line Can Bolston be worthy? How bad is the deep depth like Muir.

4) Is Sitton really much better than the draft gurus said? Draft experts did not like him being selected so high. Has Ted found a gem?

5) Brohm has to show some improvement above normal for a rookie or there will be some nervousness.

OK ARod, let's see a nice selection of throws. Dont play it too safe and keep dumping it off. Make some plays and show us what you got.

WRs - Catch everything tonight, need to get the O off to a good start.

RBs - Just stay healthy Grant, I am concerned you aint ready. Let Jackson have the rock for a half see what he can do.

TE - Want to see Humphrey step up as the #2 cuz the rookie aint ready yet.

OL - Dont get Rodger killed tonight.

[Rastak]

Are you ready for some football?

[MadtownPacker]

Haha, Chris Carter just said to Rodgers "they aint going if you aint throwing" about the Pack making the playoffs. I agree. Let it rip, I want to get all the bugs out the first half of the season.

Hey all. Man am I jacked up for football. After all the BS that has gone down lately, I'm so ready to get it started..

[RIPackerFan]

I have to believe MM has made a game plan - with little pressure on AR. I would expect a lot of run plays....a lot of short passes. I would think they would not have him do too much for the first game.

Why throw him into the fire in the first televised game.

I am going to watch the D - specifically, the d-secondary (2nd and 3rd strings) - I think we will need them this year - with both Woodson and Harris getting a little long in the tooth.

I want to see Rodgers throw some deep stuff and I want to see some blitzing.

Most teams don't blitz too much in the preseason....they don't want it on film.

@#%$@#$@# 8 o'clock Central Time. PLUS my @#$%@#$ satelite provider doesn't have ESPN!

I know, I know. Step away from the tire iron.

Do you remember what the Bills did to us in that intra-squad scrimmage?

[RIPackerFan]

Nice reaction from the crowd.

[imscott72]

Kansas City did that to the Vikings one year also, but it's the exception.

[Freak Out]

ESPN radio here is not carrying the game. WTF?
