[Brando19]

McCarthy is being interviewed right now on packers.com

[Cheesehead Craig]

Possibly another long year.

Already is...

[Fritz]

It's going to take time, people. Sounds like Colledge played pretty well. Maybe when Spitz comes back he takes over for Moll, and the line will get better. More holes, more time for Favre.

TT needs to draft a stud running back next draft.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hawk is the fucking MAN!!!!

Yet another very solid performance from him. Outstanding pick and player.

[b bulldog]

First decent performance of the regular season for Hawk. Collins looked fast in run support but against the pass, well...

[BooHoo]

At least we were in this game. Unlike last week against the Bears. Is this another 4-12 season? If we finish that poorly Brett will definitely call it quits and retire.

[b bulldog]

4-12 WILL PROBABLY have us being optimistic, two or three wins is probably more like it. Will probably be 0-5 at the bye.

[Brando19]

We'll beat the Lions.

[BooHoo]

We'll beat the Lions.

I am optimistic.

[The Leaper]

At least we were in this game. Unlike last week against the Bears. Is this another 4-12 season? If we finish that poorly Brett will definitely call it quits and retire.

I disagree.

Favre had to know coming back this season that the team wasn't going to be all that competitive. At best, they were going to be a .500 level team...more likely 5-7 wins.

If this team continues to improve on both sides of the ball week to week, there is no reason why Favre wouldn't come back. The coaching staff should remain intact, as well as the schemes. The amount of game experience on the team will almost DOUBLE...when you consider over half of the players on the roster are 1st or 2nd year players.

Favre will be within spitting distance of some of the NFL's greatest passing records as well. Barring injury, I see no reason why he wouldn't come back next year IF he chose to come back this year. I can't see how this team will be worse next season, and stands likely to be a considerable improvement.

[retailguy]

We'll beat the Lions.

I am optimistic.

Wonder if Roy Williams guarantees a victory this week?

[The Leaper]

Morency will be twice the player in our new scheme that Gado was, and could be a welcome addition to the return game.

Brett has been saying all along that he is not in it for the record book. IMHO if this is a 4-12 season he will be so discouraged that he will hang up his hat and be done.

Ass hole got me 7 fantasy points. At least that is better than the 3 he got me last week.
