The Official Packers Off-season Thread!!

[PierBridge]

I think they have a bit of chip on there shoulders also over all this Favre-Fevor and that will motivate them greatly this season!

[Jim Uran]

I still can't wait for Allen to slam Rodgers on his head, and if that's true about the D, I think I may be a little worried about the cheese heads. This is going to be one good season!

Oh yeah I should add that the Packheads D pales in comparison to our defense!

[zepman]

I wouldn't get too excited about your #1 defense just yet. I'm sure the Pack and their D-staff are doing everything possible to ensure success with this unit because of the change-over in schemes.

Your offense is looking good, however, and will create lots of problems for everyone.

I still can't wait for Allen to slam Rodgers on his head,

I heard the same thing last year and it didn't happen, you gave me a good laugh tonight and I thank you for that.

[kitchy]

I think you meant to say "slam him in the knee"

[Cooter]

Myself, I'd much rather see someone in a green and gold uniform dump Favre on his already cracked noggin. Thought I could still root for the guy but just can't do it when he's wearing a purple Queens costume.

[SkunkedAgain]

I have one comment to make, and this goes to all of my Packer brethren. Were you this mad at Darren Sharper when the Packers dumped him and he went to the Vikings? Were you this mad when Ryan Longwell went to the Vikings? Why is everyone so mad at Favre for doing it? Because he was better or more beloved? That's a bunch of [PoorWordUsage]. All of his retire/don't retire stuff has no bearing on this specific point. You can hate him for that separately, but the guy did nothing different than so many others.

I think a lot of us are being hypocritical in this situation. Favre is playing football, and like many of the greats, he wants to squeeze every last bit of football out before his body shuts it down for good. I'm going to enjoy watching him play each week, and I'll root against him for two games, but won't wish him any worse luck than I would have Jim McMahon!

[Scott K]

But I liked Jim McMahon. I never liked Favre! But.... Favre is my teams QB, so I will be cheering for the Vikings, and yes even Favre.

[Cooter]

I quit rooting for Sharper and Longwell as well.

[Cooter]

I love the Schlitz avatar!

[nolte]

Same here Cooter.

Yeah I said the same thing last year!!! Actually I wouldn't like to see or wish any harm on anyone......except Rogers..lol!!

Maybe Favre can come in and give him a dirty crackback block

??? What ??? The D is dominant!! Wait, just wait 'til we meet up on Monday night, the spotlight will be on the WRONG side of the ball.

[zepman]

Yes, their D has been good but if your playing all sorts of different schemes, blitzes,etc, against other teams plain jane offenses you should look good. Same thing that KC did to the Vikes...blitzed their arse off when we were just trying to run a few basic plays with Favre.

[Jim Uran]

Another drive and we would have adjusted!!!!

[BrianLucky13]

Leechbait, Im taking the Hooters bus again to the Monday night game for one reason, to watch the Packers DOMINATE!!! Go Pack

[Jim Uran]

Yeah I bet that's why a guy would take the Hooters bus!!! All I know is come that Tuesday morning, I'll have a fresh batch of crow for you pitiful cheeseheads

[Driftless]

the packers have a very unproven offensive line.

i wouldn't get the cart ahead of the horse. I will

jump on the Super Bowl bandwagon if they dominate the Bears.

[BrianLucky13]

I didnt know crow was in season!!! Hooter girls are way better looking then the Vikings Cheerleaders, thats for sure!! After going to the Chiefs game I forgot how terrible the metro dome is!! Maybe because it was full of Viking Fans!! If you see a guy with a 3 Favre Jerseys on that would be me!!(Vikings, Jets, and Packers-Packers on top of course) Im getting a Falcons #4 jersey soon, hopefully before Oct. 5th!!!

[Scott K]

I will be there as well! I will watch for the Hooters bus driving by and wave!

[Rick]

I hate to say it but the Pack just made a really good pick. Raji is going to be a stud.

Not this year he isn't. He has trouble staying healthy.

[Scott M]

What do you think about Finley's 2 year, 15 million dollar deal? Maybe a sign that they'll commit to using him more? I keep thinking he's on the cusp of fantasy greatness and it never quite comes.

[klecker]

The system in GB will prevent him from being a fantasy greatness.

[CJH]

He drops too many passes to be considered great.

They paid him more than I thought they would. I think they are waiting to see how the knee holds up, as Finley wanted more than a 2 year deal.

[LABS4ME]

I think they are waiting to see how the knee holds up,

And if the medical community can perfect finger to brick transplants!

I would have been fine with them not re-signing him... You can see Rogers confidence in him wain as the season wore on. Most of his drops were on critical downs to boot.

Good Luck!
