FAVRE GETTING FLATTENED

In his first football action since an offseason in which he toyed seriously with retirement, Packers quarterback Brett Favre is getting a rude re-introduction to the game of football from the Chargers, who have sacked and hit Favre multiple times less than seven full minutes into the game between Green Bay and San Diego.

With a young offensive line breaking in a new zone blocking scheme, Favre could spent plenty of time in 2006 in a horizontal position.

Meanwhile, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers looks good so far in his time with the starting offense, leading the team to a touchdown.

One drawback for San Diego? Promising young running back/returner Darren Sproles was carted off with an apparent left knee injury.

Did C Rodgers field a kick, did he catch it or was it a hop?

pbmax, Barnett is #56, #59 ran into the pile...even Gannon said White...Barnett has been out for a while now.

It was White...Barnett was out all but the first couple plays of that drive.

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we need a lot of work before the regular season

and underwood injury really sucks

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

We just got handle, by a guy who never had a start until tonight.

[pbmax]

CRod caught a kickoff and nearly went to a knee to ensure he had it.
Woodie, Gado is in now.

[ND72]

that was a long drive, so like i said, he'd been out a while

[RashanGary]

Sandiego is a good football team. They have tough, aggressive players. The Packers are building a team in that mold but it doesn't happen overnight. It's hard to make any real conclusions off of one game but I just think SD is a better team.

Rodgers isn't returning very well, it looks like on GC. At least he's catching the ball, I guess.

At least he caught the ball and got it out of the end zone.

I'm off to bed. Goodnight, and lets hope we don't lose too bad.

Are you wasted?

so they let him drink, but he has a bedtime? Go figure.

Nah, no bedtime, just tired. I've spent 4 hours today doing data entry for FF. Now I know how Tank feels. Goddamn West Coast games.

I'm off to bed for real this team. Goodnight.
