Thompson Sucks!!!

[Patler]

It always amazes me how often the parts of your schedule that look tough and soft in June often end up reversing in Sept through Dec. "Bad" losses and "good" wins in September are often not so impressive when the final standings are in.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think the Packers were fortunate to play San Diego and especially Philly early in the season. I expect both those teams will be better in December. As will Green Bay.

[PackerBlues]

After watching Green Bay pick apart what most would consider some of the best Defenses in the league, my opinion is that it was an excellent experience for the Packer team. It is also the number one reason that Detroit does not scare me one bit, not in the least. After watching Detroits secondary against the Eagles, I had to laugh. It was as if Detroits secondary was simply running around completely lost out there. It did not even look like they were trying to cover anyone, but more like they were running around blind. I would expect any team that faces Detroit to do the same thing the Eagles did, and would also expect Detroit to wind up at the bottom of the NFC North, with perhaps only the bears as company. That is of course if our luck holds out and by some miracle, Rex (wrecks, lol....good one JH) reamains the starting QB for Chicago.

For us now it's simply one game at a time and a game plan that will give us the best chance to dominate the clock and keep our defense off the field.

So far so good and as amazing as it is to me that we are 3-0 we'll run with that.

Favre is getting some time and that's what we need and besides that our WR's are running lots of nice slants. Still almost zippo in ther running game but if opposing teams have weak secondarys favre will take advantage and we win the battle of the clock because of Favre's smarts and MM's proper game plan.

We may not have a really decent running game all season. A lot of fans here are saying just wait till Morency gets back.We'll see. That injury he has may well indicate that he may be ready next season not this one.

We are one of what. . .five teams now at 3-0.

Favre looks amazing to me right now . . knock on wood.

280 yards avg. per game passing and 6 TD's is too good through 3 games.

Favre looks as good as I've seen him since the MVP years. I think that is great f0r any newer Packer fan to see this great QB play out his final years as he's playing now.

I give a lot of the credit to his communication with Coach Mike McCarthy. Favre seems to be working well with the HC.

The diving catch that DD made in the left Chargers endzone. I will never forget that one. Actually I liked the L-R slant look that Bubba and Greg Jennings showed us yesterday Vs Chargers. Both routes and runs for 6 very solid.

We are 3-0. Thank you GOD!!!

Next up Minny. No time to let up there.

Minny had an off week on 'D' Vs the Chiefs. Their 'D' can play better than they did yesterday.

I liked the way our 'D' is hiting but there's seems lots of holes in it up front and we need more fr. our LBer's. I thought that Al Harris and Charles Woodson had better games. We really need those guys.

What's the scoop on NickCollins. Is he really out there?

GO PACK GO !

God, I hate admitting I'm wrong. Maybe TT isn't as bad as I thought.

3T is as bad as I thought. We have no running game and the coach can only work with the guys we have. Morency appears to be done for the years so I wouldn't expect much production out of him. Our offensive line went back to the basics this game and did one thing well, protect Favre. Other then that, we have no running back, not even a committee. Our OL can't block for crap in the run game and we have no depth on our OL.

Our defense is one LB or DB injury away from being worse then average. But we have all these DL's! Maybe one of them could shed 100 # to backup a LB or DB for us.

Good god man. Do you always sleep with your head in the oven?

Do you always believe the hype?

If we make the playoffs will you admit you're complaints are wrong? EVEN if he brought in LT our team chemistry could be down the pooper and we'd be 0-3. It's impossible to predict that sort of thing. I'm happy with our league leading record.

[Patler]

I suspect the same is true for most teams. One or two injuries in the wrong unit can ruin the season. The Packers are well stocked in DL, but no backup strength at LB. Others may have 4 or 5 LBs they are comfortable with, but are an injury or two away from being in shambles on the DL. Almost any team is in trouble if injuries hit hard.

[SkinBasket]

Do you always believe the hype?

If you haven't noticed, we've started playing real games now, and we've won all three against last year's playoff teams. That's not hype - that's results. You can argue that they weren't pretty wins, but you cannot argue that the result isn't the same as a 54-21 drubbing with 300 yards rushing.

When I referenced your pessimism, I quoted your concerns about injury to our defense. Preemptively worrying about what injuries might happen and what effect that might have on the team seems a little overly negative.

[Fritz]

The running game was not strong for quite a few seasons under Holmgren, and he was accused of being too pass happy, not understanding the running game, etc. Once the players were in place to have a decent running game, he did.

One really big difference we might have with our backs this year compared to during Holmgren's years when the running game sucked is in the passing game. Look at the number of receptions the backs had in those early Holmgren years. In a lot of ways that substituted for the running game. He had a lot of very good receiving backs.

So far the 2007 backs have looked quite inconsistent in the passing game. A lot of drops, and a lot of times when it appears they are not where Favre expects them to be, even on little safety tosses. He seems to look their way, and have to double clutch before making the little toss. I get the feeling he is surprised at times where he finds them. He has also missed them more than he used to, which could be their problem as much or more than Favre's.

I share your concerns. It is great fun, this winning stuff, but it's just a truth that you can't win in the NFL consistently unless you have at least a semblance of a running game. GB does not have even that.

And it doesn't look like this will be the week to find one.

I wonder sometimes why GB doesn't seem to run any running plays designed to get outside. If you can't push the Williams boys around, can't you run around them?

3T is as bad as I thought.

Funny stuff Merlin!

Give me a T!
Give me a T!

What's that spell?

Disaster...

Please please please just keep these 'disasters' coming!!!!!!!!!!!

[MasonCrosby]

we beat a chargers team that was 14-2 last year, with the reigning league MVP, the best tight end in the league, a good young qb in rivers, and an emerging receiver in vincent jackson. now whether norv turner is to blame, or in our case, thank i don't care. all i know is we beat that charger team and if we can beat them we can compete with the big boys in the playoffs.

Others may have 4 or 5 LBs they are comfortable with, but are an injury or two away from being in shambles on the DL. Almost any team is in trouble if injuries hit hard.

When I was about 14 I received a serious blow to the wrong unit. Luckily I was not yet playing for real (that didn't happen until I was seventeen), but had I been, my season would surely have been ruined.

Man, that hurt.
