**Official Packers/Saints Game Thread

[The Leaper]

I'm tired of the Poppinga experiment. He's not ready for full-time duty. Give Taylor a shot out there...he's not much older than Poppinga anyway.

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.

Look at how many times we shot ourselves in the a**. Green's fumble, multiple drops by Bubba, another prerequisite drop by David Martin.

Favre's pick happened when the o-line couldn't hold off the pressure when Brett got clocked.

Definitely thought that Brett was going to grab some of the receivers by the facemask (especially Bubba) after some of the drops/bad routes.

Our safeties got burned with the playaction WAY too easily. Hawk showed some great lateral speed today.

Cullen Jenkins proved he deserves to be in the starting lineup. D-line for the most part played well. But the defense on Deuce's TD was sad.

The way Brett is getting knocked around he is bound to get hurt.

We'll beat the Lions.

I am optimistic.

Anyone.

What happened in the last Packer Series specificly regarding Favre's ...
4 straight incomplete pass's?

WAS he passing badly?

[b bulldog]

They will never beat the Lions in the dome next Sunday!

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.

I don't care what he says.

You don't think he was out in the backyard as a kid pretending he was Joe Montana or Dan Marino?

Favre would NEVER come out and say the records mean something while he is still playing, because it will get blown out of proportion. That doesn't mean they don't mean something to him, and wouldn't be something in his consideration of a return next year.

It is only human to do so. And Favre IS human.

Let the Favre wanting to quit rumors begin....again.

[AtlPackFan]

Minnesota beat the Panthers.

Wow! 0-2 start for the Panthers!!! Does Steve Smith mean THAT MUCH!!!

[b bulldog]

Everyone wants records, he is no different. You actually think that he would say that all he is playing for is the records and the $$$?

[BallHawk]

He's not playing for money, he's got enough of it.

Is he playing for the records? Of course. But is he playing soley for the records? Of course not.

[b bulldog]

You never,ever,ever have enough money!

[The Leaper]

Favre had fun today. You could see it on the field and on the sidelines.

Sure, he was disappointed to lose. However, his desire to have fun and compete will not be quenched by a game like today. Continual repeats of LAST week would lead to his retirement...not what happened today.

OK then how about this:

When the Pack wins the poster who started the game thread makes the following weeks game thread. If the Pack loses the poster cannot start another game one for the rest of the season.

Superstitious enough for ya??

So who gets it this next week?

[BallHawk]

I've put one up.

[mmmdk]

We'll beat the Lions.

How?
