Fan fun 2011 vrs 2012

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm enjoying the games much more this season. I thought last year's offensive machine, no defense got kinda boring. I really like the defense this year, they are much better tacklers, you don't have to shield your eyes for half the game.

At this rate I'm going to overdose on Maalox. What's so fun about that?

The Super Human season by Rodgers was awesome but the 15-1 record made a lot of people/fans/players/coaches blind to the glaring troubles on Packers D & bonehead coaching calls [at times].

At this time last year I was mourning the loss of Collins. I'll take this year.

Plus I think its important to face some adveristy on the road to the superbowl. This years team has to earn every inch and will have a lot more fight in them come Janurary.

I might enjoy this season more if the refs weren't giving games away. The bar didn't have sound on the game. Anyone want to explain to me why when a Packer catches the ball, secures it and it bobbles when it hits the ground is incomplete and when a Saint has the same exact catch, it's a catch?

Can't, it's baffling.

I agree with 3irty1 about facing some adversity, and also about Collins - he was a huge loss; but as bad as last year's defense was, I had faith that the offense could overcome just about anything the defense puked up. That of course proved not to be true when the Giants came to Lambeau and kicked the living hell out of our softer than teddy bear stuffing Packers.

I don't see the defense being better b/c of Capers. TT upgraded the personnel, but we're still seeing the same old crap - missed assignments (Moss and Davis TD's - the 80 yard gaff in the NO game today), the gimmick fronts (rushing 2 guys on 3rd and 17), the constant miscommunication. NO rang up almost 500 yards of offense against us; SF ran for 186... the defense is not fixed.

Maybe the defense will improve as the season wears on; but I don't expect Capers to change his tune. The soft fronts will continue, and good offenses will roll up big yards and pts against us. We have a very tough schedule... so making the playoffs is not a given.

What are the odds that Rodgers even comes out of the Houston game alive?? lol... JJ Watt may rip him into little pieces and take the body parts home for a snack.

Considering there have been no sacks since MM's halftime adjustments against Seattle, I'd say pretty good.

This season is much better because there has been so much to bitch about so early in the year.

[George Cumby]

Last year was too easy, every monday a great big circle jerk about how great the O was while many of us (myself included) whistled past the graveyard of defensive ineptitude.

The adversity already faced by this team will, in theory, make it stronger.

Seems to work out that way for a lot of super bowl champions. It'd be nice to see the Packers be "that" team this year.

Texans beware...

That, I think will be a "statement" game, much like the Jets game two years ago. If they come out with a win, they will know they are a good team.

I do not enjoy games any more or any less depending on the outcome. I don't get emotional over a loss as in Seattle. I enjoyed the '70s and '80s even as the losses mounted. I stopped having an emotional investment in sports teams very long ago.

So is it a purely intellectual exercise for you, then?

Curious, I don't know if I would watch the games if not for the emotions that the events on the field evoke.

Stop saying this - you'll jinx our SB run!
