This week’s worry – Packer Special Teams

[pittstang5]

Specifically punt and kick return units. They looked ok against the Eagles, but I watched a couple Eagle preseason games and they (Eagles) looked worse on special teams than the Packers. Sure, it was preseason and you can argue that all day long, but I’m not sold on the Packers special teams being good…yet.

I think this week against the Bills will be a better test as to how good or bad the Packers special team coverage units are. The Bills have two very good returners in C.J Spiller and Parrish.

- Thoughts?

[HarveyWallbangers]

It will be a concern all year.

[Tony Oday]

CMIII actually killing a QB...thats my only worry

[mission]

Yeah, I don't have a single worry when it comes to this game.

My worry this week is how the bees are getting in my house.

My thoughts are that neither of the Buffalo return men are any better than DeSean Jackson. Masthay's punts had good hang time until the last one. On the last one, Korey Hall made a great tackle. One of the most overlooked plays of the game.

Packers coming off the Super Bowl win and playing a winless team. I was 12 that year and ever since I worry about EVERY game.

This message board has a standing agreement to never bring up the name Paul Justin. Ever.

Or how quickly we can forget about just last year losing to the 0-8 Bucs. I won't say that I am "worried" but I definitely don't see any game as "in the bag" or an "easy win." Though in many of the predict the scores threads I usually just predict blowouts in the Packers favor.

[Tarlam!]

Ya, the Bucs game from last season has my feet squarely planted on the ground. This is a game of inches..... On any given Sunday..... enter football wisdom here........ Take your pick. Aaron and the Gang need to win the game. The Bills aren't coming to Green Bay to lose.

[Fritz]

We worry like a bunch of Jewish mothers. Me included.

[Tony Oday]

Actually my one worry is do we have ANY defensive linemen?

It was a joke, but the factual part was the post-Super Bowl Packer defense made the Colt's Paul Justin (backup at the time) look like Peyton Manning for an entire game. The only explanation is that Marvin Harrison builds good quarterbacks.

Marvin Harrison is also well armed. So I hope he is not traveling in the midwest after reading this.
