Packers Dominating the Preseason

[Packnut]

Hope

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!) :P

I would not dispute the "arrow pointing up" direction. I just believe with a few less mistakes and a little more aggressive attitude, it could be done much quicker. Some wanted to paint the picture that we were so far away it did'nt make sense to get in the FA market. They were obviously wrong which a few of us tried to point out.

The crime here is that we were not that far away and with a few aggressive moves by Teddy in free agency and with this defense, we did have a good shot at competing for the NFC title.

One stat not mentioned yet. This preseason the

Packers lead the NFL in yards penalized.

That without Ahmad Carroll contributing to the number.

I still maintain Morency is going to have a good year. He's very quick. He's the lightening to Jackson's more frightening, very big, bright lightening.

Donald Lee needs to get in the ball games. Bubba had a fluke game.

Did anyone see that play by Hawk where he pushed the FB out of the way and got the sack. That was an awesome bull rush to the QB. The D definitely has me excited about the season.

Decent OL!?!? Are you hitting the hookah this morning.

At the very least we will be good enough to win aka a ron wolfe line. There is a lot of talent there. The thing that should be in question is will we be great. So far, they have more than held their own in the red zone. Seattle has a very good front 7, top 5-6 in the league and we moved the ball with ease without max protecting against them.

I suspect we'll be in the top 11 of offensive lines league wide. That is a very good place to be. What's nice is we have two versatile back-ups, but the rest of the depth is pretty shabby. But, what is nice is that Colledge can play the entire left side of the line, and Moll can play the entire right. It's good to have that versatility.

The picture is even more hilarious. It's on PackersNews.com but I cannot post it for whatever reason. Hawk just has a menacing look on his face. Hilarious!

HAWK!

nobody is saying alright we`re doiminating the preseason, superbowl here we come. It`s just nice to see this young team coming together making plays, and having fun. We know its just the preseason, but also think it`s just not the preseason to second thru 4th or 5th stringers trying to get a job who are playing their butts off competing. Just watching the Packers play this well together gives me some kind of hope what the regular season might be like,.......in though its just the "Preseason"

[Brohm]

No doubt about the excitement. I hope it carries over to the regular season and not have a flat performance like what happened last year opening day against the Bears.

Well, but see if you say, "It sure is great to see the Packers playing well in the pre-season and leading the league in a number of categories!" there are a half-dozen or so posters in here that are so much smarter than the rest of us that they are able to peer through your writing and find your true message which is "I have a man-crush on TT and we are going to win the Super Bowl this year."

Don't try to wiggle off the hook with any lame-ass excuse that you simply meant that it was fun to see the Packers winning and that it was interesting to see that they were leading the league in certain statistics which made you feel good about the team's progress. The Hatin' Crowd will remind you once again that you must desist telling the rest of us that TT is infallible and you must stop spouting your psychotic delusions that team will now go 18-0 following their domination of the pre-season.

what are you blabbing about. There`s nothing to peer though. Your the one making something out of nothing. First off I`m not a TT lover or hater, I`m just waiting to see how his decisions play out then I`ll judge. I think he`s done some good things, and then I think he`s done some questionable things. Like I said before...please listen carefully, I am in no way predicting us to get crowned for anything. This is a young team and they seem to be improving everytime they play and are building chemistry which is neat for me to watch a team come together and enjoy playing together like they are. Sorry for being a little optimistic, change your tampon and have another drink.

You might want to re-read what he's saying and edit your post accordingly. He was agreeing with you.

[Him8123]

well it didnt seem like an agreement. But if I`m wrong then I apologize. Seemed like some kind of accusation to me. kind of hard to catch sarcasm sometimes through words.

speak for yourself. I must have said that to like 10 people since Saturday nights game.

Yes, Decent OL. You must be hitting the "hookah" (whatever the hell that is, I guess I'm too damn old) if you think this OL has proven anything. Don't talk to me about TALENT, hell Jamal Reynolds had talent. Lets see them perform first. I don't consider one game against Seattle "performing". Could they perform? Sure. Will they? Damned if I know. I know it is possible they won't, and Morency won't be worth a damn if they don't. He might not be worth a damn IF they do, but them performing is the only shot the guy has got.
