Predict the Opening Day Score against Phillie

[Tarlam!]

I honestly think the defence will show up, just like they did at Soldier against Rex and Brian.

If your Punter didn't rack up a better QB rating than Rex and Brian, you'd have been shutout!

Oh yeah, I forgot. You had nuthin' to play for. Except pride acourse....

[BEARMAN]

You beat our 2's and 3's ! In a meaningless game for Da BEARS. When it counted, we kicked your collective arses ! Them's the facts, undisputed !

I don't think Favre had a 0.0

wait... let me say that again... 0.0

your gpa in school was probably higher than that... wait nevermind...

[packers11]

but on my prediction...

packers : 24
eagles : 20

[HarveyWallbangers]

The Bears are 1-1 in the Super Bowl now, right?

[oregonpackfan]

Next prediction: In what century will the Bears appear in the next Super Bowl?

I expect a Packer win vs Eagles - for these reasons:

1. There's an 80-90% chance I'll be attending the game vs. Eagles - and I'm LOUD! The 10-20% are on the Chargers game. I can't go to the PR in october due to work and that's a shame but I will be going to Lambeau again

2. Packers has got to start winning at Lambeau; this game will set the tone for the rest of the season. No more bad starts!

3. This is a semi do-or-die season for the TT/McCarthy lead Packers. Show your stuff.

4. Because winning is everythig; winning is the Packer way - before, now & always expect to win. Especially at Lambeau.

WHO's going to the Packers vs Eagles game?

[RashanGary]

24-17 Packers


The offensive line comes out with a full year of everyone together in the same scheme. The rookies are no longer rookies and it shows with their strength and technique. The Packers run the ball effectively with the stronger line, opening holes in the tight confines of the redzone. Favre takes what is given and is still the biggest factor offensively. Driver is Driver and Jennings takes advantage of double coverages while regular down max protect becomes a thing of the past.

Barbre, Rouse, Poppinga, Hawk, et at. come out on special teams and make a legitmate difference. Rayner boots it into the endzone regularly while Ryan is a much improved punter. A once dreadfull ST's unit is not one of the more athletic and aggressive coverage units with 2 of the NFL's strongest legs. Rayner goes 2-2 with his field goals and Ryan pins the Eagles within the 20 once but averages 50 yds on a whole with his punts.

The Eagles can't run a lick on the Packers. Harrell, Williams and Pickett are all good, effective players and the Eagles just never can find a soft spot on the line with Jenkins and Kampman on the ends. Eventually, the Eagles start trying to poke holes on the edge but while all blockers are being eaten up by the DL; Popp, Barnett and Hawk are running wild to the ball carrier. After the 1st quarter it's all pass and our linebackers start T-ing up on McNabb. Poppinga's 2 year old ACL is back to 100% and he picks up a late 2nd quarter sack to effectively end the half with a Packers lead. The 2nd half is more of the same. The defense forces 3 and outs, Favre takes what is given while the Line starts to open up holes on a tired defense.

The Packers win in the first game of the season convincingly in all areas of the game and optimism soars even amongst the clinically depressed ie Bretsky, Wist and Retail Guy.

Quick, get to the emergency room...Kool Aid overdose...worst case I've ever seen. Prognosis is NOT good.

[RashanGary]

I'm more excited about the interior line and LB's than I have been about anything Packers in 4 years. I think we can truely compete for the playoffs and the NFC north this year with Chicago running into problem after problem and having to overcome the historically huge let down of being a SB loser.

[MJZiggy]

Quick, get to the emergency room...Kool Aid overdose...worst case I've ever seen. Prognosis is NOT good.

He may have just had a little something to go along with his kool-aid.

The stuff about the game may happen, but the part about B, Wist and RG is kinda out there...

[RashanGary]

RG, Brestky and I have some pretty reasonable lines of success and failure drawn up.

RG's is a little higher, B's is right in the middle and mine are a little lower.


Regardless, we're all going to let the season do the talking. It should be fun and if we open up like we're capable everyone will enjoy it.

[Jerry Tagge]

Eagles 20, Packers 10.

I would love to be wrong because my cousin's kid who just graduated HS is an Eagles fan and will be at the game. He's in line to get my cousin's gold package season tickets someday. He ain't getting them if he's an Eagles fan.

[Jerry Tagge]

27-10, Philly, Favre throws 3 int's and the packer defence dose not show up. Sad, but true.

Here's a fact for you Bears clown.

Bears opening game:

Chargers 35, Bears 3.

Of course it will be a meaningless game. Just like that game the Bears played at Miami last February. It wasn't meaningless for me. I cleaned up on all you slow witted, cerebrally challenged Bears clowns to the tune of $300.

BTW, I didn't know Urlacher, Kreutz, Brown, Tait, Miller, Clark, Jones, Muhammed, Berrian, Ogunleye, and Jailbird Tank were all 2nd and 3rd stringers? They played the entire first half on New Year's Eve. You know, when the Packers had a 23-0 lead.

Apparently your IQ matches Rexy's passer rating that night.
