  • 6-0 and looking forward

    Realistically, we have a decent shot to start the season 6-0.

    Did anyone ever think that is possible?!?!?!?!?!

    I don't see any reason at this point we shouldn't be going into the bye week undefeated. We play the Vikings at an opportune time with some injuries and a back-up quarterback. We play the Bears at home, and they are awfully banged up and going through a quarterback controversy. The Redskins are just not that good of a team.

    That is one hell of a way to start the season.

    I don't like counting chickens before they hatch, but it is definitely possible. The Packers are definitely better than the next three teams they play. Doesn't mean they will win all three, but it's possible.

      I'm the most concerned about the Viking games. The team cannot get too confident and then go into to the Metrodome and get beat. We've got to be prepared for that game. I do not want Favre's 421st TD pass to be in a loss.

      The Bears game will be tough, but I don't see how Grossman and Benson can put up points against us. And there is no way that defense is what is used to be.

      The Redskins are a decent team, but they are a team we should beat.

      It's going to be a fun ride, so everybody sit back and have a Leinenkugel.

        Don't count your chickens before they are hatched is what my pappy always said.

        I'm quite pleased were 3-0, but we need to take this one game at a time. Maybe I'm in denial that the Packers are playing pretty good ball, but I smell a big upset brewing sometime down the road.

            I'm not so sure 6-0 is any more likely than 3-3.

            More than likely we'll see 5-1 or 4-2.

              I also think there is a chance of 6-0. However, it will be interesting to see if the Packers can handle success as well as they have handled adversity.

              A bit of history that is bad news short term, but great news long term: In 1996, the Packers beat the San Diego Chargers at Lambeau Field to go 3-0. The following week, they suffered their 1st loss of the season to Minnesota in the Baggie Dome. The Packers, of course, went on to win the Super Bowl.

              Actually, the Packers have an excellent chance to win next week as long as they contain Adrian Peterson. I was very surprised to see the Vikings lose to Kansas City yesterday.

                If ANY Packers player are thinking on going 6-0 then I'll be worried - this is close to a pointless subject BUT I don't blame it. Packers are 3-0 and the goal is always a Championship. Gotta love it

                  One game at a time; right now I just want us to win in Minnesota

                      I think the skins will be the toughest of the next three. This could be the toughest game left on your schedule considering we get to play Romo in the 2nd half of the season

                        Amen to That!

                        Let us not forget that the Packers have struggled in the Tent-Dome. Never underestimate your opposition.

                          Yup. This game has let down written all over it. We have to keep our heads in this weeks game, not next weeks or so forth. The Vikes want to beat us, BADLY. And don't think for a minute that the Bears are going to lay down on national TV. These next two games are going to be tough with a capital T.

                            Double amen to that - I'll get this game live on national Danish sports channel (tv2Sport).

                            Listen, we CANNOT lose this one! Why? Because one of the Danish TV hosts is a die hard Vikings fan. He ALWAYS talk purple even when other games are played. My adrenaline is already pumping for this game. The name of the TV speaker is Claus Elming; he played HS football in Minnesota and he hates our PACKERS

                            WE CANNOT LOSE THIS ONE - EVER!!! I dare say that this, for me at least, is by far the most important game of the season.

                            Win this one for all the Packer fans around the world - God I could SCREAM !

                            GO PACK GO!

                            PS - Claus Elming also has a brother who played HS fooball; his name is Jesper Elming. They played, I believe, in the early 1990'ties, maybe late 1980'ties - could anyone get me some info to trash those purple punks with? We can send emails to TV hosts during the games! The other host is not a Viking fan and he's good 'cos he bashes the Vikes.

                            PPS - This is not on you, Rastak.

                              this ain't the teams of the late 90's early 2000's. THey could easily tank at any point w/ so many youngsters playing critical roles.

                              one week at a time. thats all i can look forward to. too much parity in this lg to look past the current week.
