Wow.....Poppinga made me swear at his poor coverage only 6 or 7 times this game.

Only, huh? How come I don't believe thats a good thing.

Hey, it's an improvement.......I didn't read the whole thread, did anybody mention that Taylor went in at LB for a short while today???

Yeah, someone mentioned this. He made at least one good play as I recall.

Yes but can we afford to have thos 6 or 7 times where he gives up a big pass play?

Hope ya'll had fun today? We sure did at the Park Tavern.

The run game had a little bit. Toward the end there, Ahman nearly broke a couple. Maybe next week they get a little better (as soon as they get that ball out of the spot Coach Bennet stuck it so Ahman will remember about protection).

NO! NO!! NO!!! NO!!!! MjZiggy.

Get to real, for YOU. I am pulling for you to get really clued in MJ.

The running game sucked!!

The repurcussion's of that... has to catch up with us given the limited talent on OUR team.

It's putting it all on Brett Favre, as they did early last Season. That isn't fair. Especially, when ignorant fans and the media paste his ass the first sign... of what will happen in the NFL if he's not called upon fairly (for a reasonable amount of pass's = today and 35).

Too many pass's as he was called upon to toss last week mean nothing but... "a World of pain" for him, and those of us that are totally on his side MJ.

Do you have a true appreciation for his role in today's game? He carried "the Mountain" on his wide shoulders. It's not fair. I must say that the OL had a decent day,aside for a few penalty's. I havn't done a fullanalysis as yet,MJ.

Maybe YOU will have that FULL APPRECIATION for Favre's game,(for certain and maybe your there?) when he's voted NFL Offensive Player for Week #3 ?

Whoops! Hauling back on that prediction MJ,..haha, as Matt Hasselbeck is shooting the lights out with 5 Td pass's with about 10 min's remaining in the 4th quarter Vs. "the Giants".

Edit again: Matt Hasselbeck had 3 picks along with those 5 TD's and he was 24/33 for 227 Yards.That is a QB Rating of 93.06.

Favre 25/37 for 340 Yards and 3 TD's ) picks = QB Rating of 127.08

and that = Offensive player of the week but we have to get out there and vote unless the format has changed.

Brett Favre won that game for us.

He was voted BEST Packer last week..will BE... again this!!

GO PACKERS ! PACKER FAN FAITH !!

No no I am talking about Pop...why are we still putting up with this? I mean how is Taylor that bad. I could care less if Taylor isn't a tackling machine...if he is formidable and can keep the big plays coming his way down then why isn't he on the field more?

My bad, Billy, I mis-read your post. I know the argument is that Pop has more upside, but I agree with you. I'm for giving Taylor more time.

I guess I don't understand why we signed a guy that got 100+ tackles last year and have him sit on the bench.

On an unrelated note, BallHawk has earned the right to start the game thread again for the Eagles game due to his ability to generate a Packer victory!!

[Joemailman]

I was very impressed with how well the OL was able to protect Favre even though there was little running game. Just shows the importance of sticking with the running game to keep the defense honest, even if the runs aren't very productive.

Congrats Ballhawk, but I'd be surprised if it lasts much longer.

next week will be a shootout...the eagles secondary looks like ours the past two games...

Because they don't think we're intelligent enough football fans to know what's going on and to be entertained by the game, so these "experts" (read idiots) have to "entertain" us the stupid masses.

He had to circle the ref and point that out that he was not one of the 6 "in the box". Ya we can tell that...hes not wearing RED.

There is an entire website devoted to Bill Maas being dumber than most farm animals. If you want some easy laughs, I can look it up.
