There are Packers in the top five in four out of the six statistical categories on the main page, and if you look deeper into the stat-book the Pack is well in the top of the league. One of the most impressive stats i've seen, according to this site, is that the Packers have had 30 third down attempts made against them, and have allowed a total of 7 first downs allowed in those 30 attempts, that's less that 25%.

thats awesome. Really neat to see 3 out 5 players in the sack categories are packers. keep up the good work guys. -
And when you consider that the two teams they have played will likely be pretty good this season, that makes those stats all the more impressive.Comment

I'm sure all things considered, its probably better to be leading in the preseason statistics.
That being said....Busting drunk drivers in Antarctica since 2006Comment

And when you consider that last season Oakland was 4-1, Indy was 1-3 and the Patriots were 0-4 that give you a whole different perspective to think about.... doesn't it?Originally posted by cheesner

They better throw the next two pre-season games so they can get to .500 and save their regular season.Comment

The Packers not only didn't dominate the Steelers, the 1st string offense got the living snot kicked out of them by the Steelers starting defense.
It's preseason guys... get a grip.wistComment

If every team we face this year is without their starting tackles, and benches their starting probowl quarterback for fear of injury, I'll go out on a limb and say that THIS IS A SUPER BOWL TEAM. :P
Wist - your negativism is really bringing the board down.

Pre-Season
I don't care if it's a meaning-less game of tic-tac-toe, it's better to win than lose............Comment

Re: Pre-Season
I always enjoy a Packer win. I never enjoy a Packer loss. But, we squeaked out a win in Pittsburg, then we blow out a Seahawks team who, in the coaches own words "didn't hit anybody", and we're so euphoric that we're predicting it means all kinds of great things. That doesn't sound like a "meaningless game of tic-tac-toe" to me. That sounds like a "benchmark" on which we can "predict" all kinds of great things.Originally posted by PacknutComment

Re: Pre-Season
While I would agree that a few here are ridiculous with the pre-season game kool-aid, there have been some positives.Originally posted by retailguy
1-Bigby- I am anxiously awaiting to see just how far MM has come. All of us except our 1 or 2 Manuel fans here know Bigby makes us a better team. Yeah, he's gonna make some mental mistakes, but he is physically light years ahead of Manuel. I will have some serious doubts about our coaching staff if Bigby does'nt get the great majority of practice and playing time with the 1st string this week.
2- As I predicted in the article I wrote a few weeks back, our D line can be something special. Kampman, Jenkins, Pickett, Williams and KGB have the ability to do what the Bears line did last season.
3-Blackmon is the real deal if he can stay healthy. I also hope at some point he replaces Dendy in the Nickel.
4- Jones has the best hands I've seen in quite a while. He'll turn out to be Thompson's best pick. (Hawk was a no brainer)
There are also still some huge negatives that we still have but not in the mood to argue with the kool-aid crowd today......Comment

packnut,
There have been several great things that have become apparent in the preseason games. I think we're building something really special for 2008 or 2009 depending on how the annual "Will I play?" or "Won't I play?" routine plays out.
I just don't think this team can keep it all together and play nearly mistake free football in 07. I think with all the "ifs" we've got, that's what it'll take.
However, in 2008, with Favre under center, or in 2009, with Rodgers under center this team could be special, if only 50% of the IF's come true.
I'm more optimistic today, than I've been in a long time. Now, if we could just establish some hope that we have a decent OL.... (There I go with the IF's again!) :PComment
