Power Rankings: The Packers and their 2007 opponents

[BallHawk]

A lot of good info in here; I may have ranked the Packers two to four slots higher.

Ahead of the Bills and 49ers?

I'd put the Bills lower than us, even thought they beat us last year.

Don't even remind me of that game. Ugh.

The Cardinals at 13?

Do we have to go through this "The Cardinals are primed for a breakout year because they have young talent and big Free Agent names on their team" shtick every year?

It gets tedious after a while.

No more tedious than the pundits picking the Lions (Hah!) as a sleeper team every year. Though lately the talking and writing heads have acknowledged the incompetency of Millen.

See also: The Vikings picked to go to the Super Bowl prior to the 2005 season. If I've got the wrong year, I'm sure Rastak will correct me.

I agree, BallHawk.

The Cardinals are a team destined for inferiority.

I might also put the Rams below us.

I'd put the 49ers about equal to us

Yup.

I study that schedule, and even given the way we play in December. We're in for a very tough season.

There will be alot on McCarthy to call the right plays and reel in Brett Favre. To not allow him to try and do too much. If MM can't do as well there as he seemed to last season I fear that Favre and 'the pick' will get alot of ink.

Brett Favre will give, often too much, to try for the win. If our running game stutters as I sense it may, then he'll have to be called to air it too often. The teams 'D's we face this season will just sit back and wait for the turnover.

The pressure on MM and Favre this season will be intense.

Funny thing is. We can be just horridly bad or very decent. It appears to me to be one or the other, before entering our camps. We may have a better off season fr. here till the Eagles on opening day?

I'm still excited about our season.

Just to see if we can be somewhat competitive after losing our RB and the way Bubba Franks (and other TE's) didn't perform in 2006. Actually Bubba hasn't been too good, since he signed his last contract.

The way we sucked in the Red Zone and all those drops. Can it be as bad this season in respect to those concerns?

Lots of question marks. . .
