The Official Opening Day Game Thread - Green Bay vs. Chicago

[FritzDontBlitz]

and here come the trolls...

that's nothing. i work at the ford assembly plant on the south side of chicago, they've been waiting years to brag on a monday after a packers game....

You just can't wait until you are down 16-0 to start throwing the ball. Favre was 5-5 in the 1st half. What happened in the 2nd half will happen to just about any team that falls that far behind against a great defense.

[motife]

26-0! What a disasterous way to start a season!

I think there is a big positive to this.

It's a wakeup call to a lot of people.

Bob Harlan
John Jones
Ted Thompson
Bob Sanders
Mike McCarthy
Kurt Schottenheimer

The best thing a young team like this can get is a big slap in the face.

Regardless of the record, it's a real test of the organization.

How do the Packers respond to this loss? Is it a learning experience or an excuse for apathy?

I think one of the big cancers on this team is Charles Woodson and his enablers in the front office and the coaching staff.

He's going to be just mailing it in all season, like he did with the minicamps. His blowing off the Packer coaches is a very poor example to all the younger players.

NO we didn't, SCORE.

That is only ONE loss so let's not creep out on the ledge.

Motife, I agree with you about the wake up call.

This team isn't the world in the league; its near the bottom, but the way we played today isn't acceptable.

If there aren't some dramatic changes, its going to cost MM his job.

And about Woodson; Carroll played better all last season, and thats not saying much. Woodson hits about as hard as Mike Hawkins; and tackling was supposed to be his strong suit.

[Noodle]

great so the packers need a new o-line, a secondary, and some running back depth...oh and another receiver?

My guess is that the o-line fixes would help solve the receiver issue

Favre can't throw with white jersey's in the backfield. The OL is the root of the offensive problems.

Disagree. Favre had time when he started misfiring. You can almost see it happening. He turns, right before our eyes, in to WTF Favre. Near the end of the 3rd, he started missing the deep outs, and he was throwing balls up for grabs down the middle of the field -- the dreaded late down the middle play that he excels at when he starts saying, WTF.

We weren't going to win, but it'd have been good to score. Favre made sure we didn't.

But he didn't lose us the game. Crap interior line play killed us early.

[BEARMAN]

The Bears should be by only beating us by 4 scores.

Motife, I agree with you about the wake up call.

.

The test is not the game today, but the response to it.

The running game with Green looked great, and is something to build off of.

Pass protection is one of the "responses". Are Spitz and Moll worthy of patience or not?

I think the defense is going to be hopeless with a sad sack like Bob Sanders being the co-ordinator. I have zero confidence that he can improve or inspire. He's a downgrade from Ed Donatell, in my opinion.

My only hope is Sanders doesn't ruin the young talent before he's canned.

Also, if Woodson won't listen to the coaches I'd cut his ass right now and take the consequences. Looks like another Vet FA bonehead move. Waste of $11 million.

But listen to Schottenheimer? What a pathetic joke.

I like the offensive coaches, and feel confident of improvement there week by week.

[Noodle]

The one play that works, the draw to Green.

Favre will never fucking learn. McCarthy should have pulled his ass after his 1st INT.

Nutz, you were right.

It's time to put a headset on you.
