Plus, Steve Smith looks like he won't play. Who the hell is going to pick up his slack? I'd take even Jarrett Bush against their next top receiver, hell, why don't we just rest Harris?

I didn't like what I saw on his second completion, he looked right, then threw the dump off right away. Either that was a designed play which is questionable since we don't normally run that or he didn't read the defense right. Either way, it wasn't enough to form an opinion on him other then he can hand the ball off.

Why would anyone form an opinion based on 2 snaps of mop up duty in a blowout?

Becuase that is what Merlin does. He is very desperate to find anything to feed his belief that "TT sucks". Also, since he is so convinced that Aaron Rodgers is a bust, any little thinig about Rodgers he can find that isn't perfect is used to justify that position. Just ignore Merlin(unless you like good comedy) as he is the resident tool here.

EDIT: Forgot my prediction

Packer's 2nd shut out. The NFL and pundits take notice.

They do seem to perform better on the road with a 4-1 record. Their loss at TN was with David Carr at the helm. He's not good; holds the ball too long and TN's defense is good. Vinny is smarter and more skilled than that. If Steve Smith is out or severely hobbled, that will really cripple their passing game, so Green Bay will probably stack them in the box to stop the rushing game. That loss at home last week to ATL was somewhat demoralizing, and that coming on the heels of Kris Jenkins earlier sounding off about the team having no heart. That said, don't sleep on a team with a 4-1 road record, albeit against teams that were struggling...they're still NFL teams.

McCarthy has his troops ready to go again.

They do seem to perform better on the road with a 4-1 record.

Of course, they beat St. Louis, Atlanta, Arizona, and New Orleans (when they were playing lousy). Anything can happen in the NFL, but I feel pretty good about this game.

This is the best I've felt coming into a game all season. And normally that's reason enough to go bet on the Panthers.

lord favre throws 3 INT's.

Sadly, we're probably due for one of those games....


BUT, NOT THIS WEEK.

Pack 17
Panthers 7


I don't think that Smith plays.

[rdanomly]

This might be one of the games the Pack loses, just because Notre Dame actually won a game. When ND won their first game of the season, the Pack lost the next day to the bears. Every other game ND has lost, Green Bay has won the following Sunday. That being said..


GB - 24

CAR - 9
