Official Packers/Steelers Game Thread

[Joemailman]

Finally we can start to gauge what progress the Packers have made since last season. Here are some things I'll be looking for:

Can the Packers show enough of a running game to keep defenses honest? The Packers will be facing a 3-4 defense, which will be good practice for the San Diego game coming in September.

Will the Tight Ends be any more of a factor in the passing game than they were last year?

Is James Jones this year's Jennings, or a training camp wonder?

Can Brandon Jackson start to pick up the important pass protection aspect of his position?

Will Poppinga be better in pass protection than last year?

Is Manuel better than last year, and if not, will any of the youngsters show enough to push him?

Will Justin Harrell start to assert himself and silence his critics.

Who will emerge as the top candidate as the #3 CB?

Is Johnny Jolly coming into his own, or is he a training camp phenom?

It's a bummer Wynn tweaked his quad because I was really looking forward to seeing him in the RB rotation.

Isn't Mad supposed to do the game thread? He's on a streak and I don't want it broken...

[GBRulz]

I think it's only fair that he gets to start his streak for the regular season. It doesn't really matter who does the thread for pre-season.

Exactly, the preseason don't mean squat. Except for those trying to make the roster but they dont count for much either.

I'll be listening to WTMJ tonight. I did that for 25 years BEFORE God gave me the NFL Sunday ticket.

Yep, spent many a winter sitting in the car freezing my ass off on a Sunday afternoon. To much static inside the house, so the car was the only option.
