Ok I really don't hate you, after all you are all my brothren, but come on the sharks are in a feeding frenzy because of you all jumping overboard on this team! One Preseason game isn't going to make or break the 2006 season, and as valuable as Underwood was, he was still a back up safety. I ain't saying this team is going to win the Super Bowl, but Sweet Baby Jesus, I read this quote by Harvey Wallbangers today,
Havrey is one of the most level headed fans around, and if he is jumping overboard, then whats next? Patler relying on a gut feeling instead of a statistic? This just won't do people. You all are passing judgement a little to quick. Give this team to the end of preseason before you're willing to trash this season.
I can say one thing, at these boards are more active with a loss than they are with a win. Damn all you Negative Nancys.

"I didn't have high hopes before. I predicted 7-9, but the developments of the last few days have really gotten me down on this team. The demotion of Colledge wreaks of panic, and tells me not to expect any better play out of the interior OL than last year. The one position (OT) where we had good starters and decent depth is suddenly a question mark. Clifton is hampered by an injury, Tauscher is not taking to the new scheme, and we lost Barry and Klemm for the season. We lost a rising safety that likely would have played this year. I have a bad feeling Favre is going to be running for his life. As bad as the OGs were last year, at least they were big enough to hold up somewhat to the likes of Shaun Rogers, Tommie Harris, and Pat Williams--although they were pathetic in the running game. This OL could be worse--as they now have to learn a new scheme. For as bad as the OL was run blocking last year, they were okay pass blocking. This OL could struggle in both departments. Woodson has a lazy attitude. Manuel has been injured. Harris looks old. Collins hasn't made a play. No DE has stepped up. The DTs are decent, but not dominating. The WRs are pedestrian. If Ahman Green isn't healthy all year, this team will be lucky to win 6 games. The only really good things to come out of this camp have been the play of Aaron Rodgers and possibly Greg Jennings.
I'm not ready to give up on them long-term because I think there is some good, young talent on the team--and I like what Thompson is starting and I like what I see in McCarthy, but I'm thinking something like 5-11 and 6-10 is more likely for this season. I'd be ecstatic for 8-8 right now. Looking at McGinn's analysis of the roster, doesn't paint a pretty picture. Christl also said something that stood out. We read the daily Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down, but bottom line, he said, is that this team has been practicing like they played on Saturday night. That's a scary thought."
