  • Packers are 5-1! Enjoy it!!!

    This isn't meant to single anyone out. In fact, I have been accused of being too negative at times. I go to a lot of Packers websites and read a lot of Packers material and there seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding this team. Yes, there are some positive pieces written but still a lot of "yeah but" pieces. MY GOD, they are 5-1!

    Here's what I'm saying. After suffering through the 4-12 year and starting 4-8 last year, we should be ENJOYING THIS SEASON! Who in here would have thought OUR PACKERS WOULD BE 5-1 at the bye week. It is amazing. They have been a lot of fun to watch. Man, this team loves to give you the occasional heart attack but all in all, we have come away with some BIG TIME WINS.

    Are there some improvements to be made? Absolutely. But part of having a great season is actually sitting back and enjoying it. Maybe a 12-20 record the past two seasons has taken it's toll. Maybe the media would rather write about the negatives then the positives? But think about it. We still have Brett Favre, we have an excellent coach who is actually willing to ADMIT HIS MISTAKES and LEARN from them and we have the best record in the NFC. Damn, I LOVE IT!

    Okay, now bash away. And yes, I am a Packer homer and I do have green and gold glasses on.

    I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

        I said 10-6 at the start of the season and I am loving every minute of it

          Amen, brother!

          Bottom line is that many of us use this board as armchair coaches and GMs, so we like to comment from their perspectives - what still needs to be improved.

          But damn, as a fan, this has been a great season.

          I would also like to point out that Iron Mike, with his ridiculous 16-0 prediction in the preseason prediction thread, is closer to right at this point than the rest of us.

            I just realized something. I made this thread after I read the latest Harry Sydney artile at packerreport.com. Damn, that is one negative SOB. He NEVER has anything good to say about the Pack. I email him all the time and he gets so defensive. I can't believe I pay money for that crappy site. But everytime I try and cancel, they give me three free months so I don't.

              6-10 and 7-9 were popular picks for our record before the season started. At this point, we'll almost certainly have 7 wins before December.

                On my most generous day I predicted a 7-9 finish to 2007.

                To see our team at 5-1 is certainly a surprize to me.

                I am shaking my head

                I hope that something happens soon, that will help solidify a lock on the NFCN Championship.

                The running game really bugs me and contributes greatly to us not winning the battle of the clock. That struggle if it continues will result in more adversity.

                A lot of what has contributed to our 5-1 record is due to outstanding play on a per game per individul outstanding play basis (last game Charles Woodson came through huge).

                I trust that after the Bye week, the team will play a better as a whole.

                We need a total team effort for the remainder of the schedule to avoid any collapse.

                It is just a rest and still. . . one game at a time BABY.

                GO PACK GO !

                        I do my little dance about it, but, gbpackfan, you're right. They're 5-1. There should be far more dancing (and overall jubilation)...

                          I said 7-9 and am more than happy to be wrong!

                          Technically, I don't think this team is a whole lot different from last years team, except that this years team is finding out ways to scrap out a win. That's all that matters.

                            Yep, and should really be 6-0! How can you not be pleased? I understand the concern and frustration about the running game. I've openly expressed it myself. That is not meant to detract from the big picture at all. That simply comes from not wanting that to come back and hurt our opportunity to advance and go as far as we could go with an efficient (not great) running game. But, as some have pointed out, teams have won without great run games, but obviously then you have to just be smokin' in all other aspects like passing game, defense and special teams. I wouldn't say smokin' but pretty good, sometimes great so far.

                            Hopefully someone will be able to emerge in the second half of the season as the runner, and personally, I hope it's D-Wynn as the primary and Morency/Jackson/Grant as the third down/situational backs. Let's hope the O-line continues to gel and that the running game forms some kind of identity. I'm sure the players and coaches are tired of hearing about that too.

                            Think of this too...with K-Rob possibly coming back, there's a shot in the arm if he can be something for the team. It's like a trade deadline signing in baseball.
