    Capers shuts Wist up WITH the 2-4 and shuts down the read option and the passing game. Fantasy fans are happy because Fire gets 150 and a TD but that's not enough to stop 300 yards and 4 TDs by AR. A laugher that rocks the league desireous of a successful black qb.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

      Seneca will look good in the fourth quarter.

        Hahaha Seneca plays so well with the lead the Jets offer to trade.

          There have been successful black QB's, but its usually after they stop looking to run first and do it as a last resort. McNabb, McNair (black Irish only....), and the greatest black QB ever, Warren Moon. Pretty sure the only successful running QB has been Fran Tarkenton, and every other running QB for exactly one season (that list starts with Kordell Slash Stewart and ends with Colin Kapernick I hope).

            Steve young begs to differ. Had more 50+ rush seasons, higher career av., more total yards, etc. etc. Actually ran the ball forward instead of running around like a MDMA squirrel.

              Getting what looks to be our hardest game out of the way early is the best part of this game. Now if only our schedule got considerably easier, but championships are earned not granted.
              Anyway my biggest fear is our oline. On O our wrs, QB and TE are better. Our rbs are a push but they have a premier oline and we have a pudding oline. Unless Finley has committed to blocking I hope we see more of quarless.
              On d, due to the different nature's there dl is obviously better and I argue our lbs are better. Secondary is close but ours is better. I worry about their dl blowing up Rodgers.
              I think we lose this battle but begin winning the war this weekend 21-17

                You argue our LBs are better?! Better than Willis, Bowman, Brooks, and Aldon Smith?!

                  Not too shabby Wist, but the strength of that 9ers D is up front -- they are pretty good at shutting down the short game. I am willing to bet that M3/AR are going to stress the top of that 9ers D as soon as they can. Like you, I hope they give some help on the edges and don't just start bombing away out of the gate, but I see Rodgers going after some of those new faces in the secondary. If they start to give... look out.

                  Now, there's a decent chance that the 9ers come out in the deep C2 that has given the Packers trouble to see how Rodgers (in particular responds). So hopefully we'll see some Lacy early, even if he gets bottled up by the Niners front 7. Also, I thought 12's fastball over the middle looked really sharp in preseason, and I felt his throws to the middle of the field was something he worked on in the offseason. One of Rodgers's weaknesses has been that area of the field, and he's been prone to throwing INTs to MLBs because he's been tentative going there. He's still very good there, but he doesn't look as comfortable there as up the sidelines. It'll be interesting to see if Cobb plays (I think he will) and what kinds of things they might run with Cobb/Finley in the middle of the field -- some hi/lo etc.

                  I'm pretty excited to see what's in store.

                    So in my stupidity In my head this morning I had them in a 4-3 with the Smiths on the line. My very very bad. Not to detract from Bowman, Willis and Brooks, I just would have taken our 4 over their 3. Completley wrong headed on the 4-3. Smith and clay are a push, Brooks is a bit better then Perry (so far), BOwman and Willis are better than Hawk and Jones.
                    So I made a mistake. Their LBs are better than our lbs.

                    Still think we lose 21-17

                      Randall Cunningham wasn't too shabby.
                      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                        Also that part of my comment was more of a joke than anything.

                          the third best of all so far, no? Vick #2, Otto Graham, #1.

                            My fear is that Rodgers/Jordy/Cobb look out of sync with how little time they were able to practice together this offseason. In a bit of a surprise to the rest of the league, the D holds up surprisingly well but the offense can't quite get on track. Packers fall 24-17 but gain confidence in the process.

                              I'm more or less of your mind, but the offensive line scares me. I'm afraid Rodgers might die.

                                Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Just typing it makes my soul despair.
