Ahman Green

2-0 is great and the Packers have looked pretty good. Just remember it's early. Vikings were 4-2 coming off a thumping of Seattle in Seattle last year when their weaknesses started getting exposed. Sometimes it happens but I can certainly understand the optimism. That was a nice set of two wins. If Detroit beats Philly in Philly I'm gonna start wondering just how bad the Eagles are and question how big a win that really was.

I swear this place is starting to look like the Titanic 15 minutes before it hit the iceberg.

I remember what the offense looked like against Philadelphia. Then I watched the Washington offense against Philadelphia.... Jason Campbell looked a lot like Warren Moon in his prime... Jason Campbell is no Warren Moon. What does that say about the Packers offense, OR, the Philadelphia defense?

No doubt with the team's first loss you will joyously claim the sinking of the Titanic.

This team is young, on the rise, in excellent financial position and has a six game winning streak. No matter how much doom you insist upon, there is no other team in the league that can make that statement.

I expect a very tough game today, and frankly, I'll be surprised with a win, but this team is on the rise regardless of the doomsdayers say.

A loss wouldn't mean much at all, unless it was 40-0 or something.

Not you Ras. For a Viking fan, you've got great perspective.

I was referring to the Kool-Aid guy.

Oh, I know....just throwing in my two cents as I usually do.....

Woody,

You claim to not hate Ted Thompson and you claim to not have an ego when you provide your analysis.

And I claim to have 7 wives. And BallHawk claims he's 14.


Does anyone really believe any of us?

You having seven wives may be more believable than Ballhawk being 14

On an unrelated note, one is hard enough, who'd want 7?

That might work.

So, then, I guess I don't have "great perspective".

Whatever.

No, I won't be screaming that the Titanic is sinking if they lose tomorrow. We need several more weeks to see what the coaching staff can do with the OL, AND the RB's before we know what we've got. Right now, we know the scheme is not working well, but there must be something else they can try at this point (gotta be, I hope)

But to sit here and say that the Packers match up well against San Diego is just ridiculous. Now, to this point, Norv has reminded me of his last head coaching gig, but if their defense plays the way it should, and Tomlinson & Gates play well, it could look pretty bad.

Everyone is talking about our "great" defense, and they've played well, much better than the last couple of seasons, but they also gave up 5.9 yards per rushing attempt last week.... The NYG have a good OL, but not to the level of SD, and Ward is no LT.

Let's not count the chickens yet before they hatch, ok? That's all I'm saying.

Rastak, can you chime in again so they get "great perspective"....

You bet Retail.......thanks ladies and gentleman, for my next great trick I shall show you a Vikings offensive touchdown this Sunday. A feat nobody but I with my great perspective could predict.

From rotoworld.com

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle believes the Texans will cut Ahman Green if he doesn't play this preseason.

McClain thinks the signing of Marcel Shipp is an indicator and that Chris Brown might actually be a better option. "At least Brown gained some yardage against the Saints," writes McClain. When it comes down to it, Ahman is old, too expensive, and a lingering injury waiting to happen. He just isn't very good, so this shouldn't be a huge surprise.

packinpatland, your wish can come true! He can come back to GB!

[Carolina_Packer]

I don't think age was the only factor in letting him walk into free agency. I wonder if they thought he was a square peg to the ZBS's round hole. If Sean Alexander is out there still, why would the Pack clamor to get Green back? Over the hill is over the hill. They seem to like to have young guys to develop, not older veteran guys.

This thread is funny. So many people are eating crow on this one.

[Zool]

There's some really brutal stuff in some old threads. I guess this is why none of us are paid to work for pro football teams.
