The Pack

[Mayfly]

With Favre running the show, plus its inclusion in one of the weaker divisions, Green Bay could be seen as a legitimate contender in the NFC. Last year, especially over the season's second half, Favre seemed to finally establish a consistent rhythm with wide receivers Robert Ferguson and Javon Walker. Running back Ahman Green is coming off another great year, and there's talent and experience throughout the roster.

The Packers, who scored the fourth-most points (442) in the league last season, should return every starter on offense from a year ago. And if any changes occur, they will likely be made among returning players.
Most of the moves during the off seaon occurred on defense through the draft. In fact, four of the team's six draft picks were used on defense -- two corners and two defensive tackles. Another change on defense was the switch in defensive coordinators. Ed Donatell was fired six days after the playoff loss to Philadelphia. Bob Slowik, who had served as the team's defensive backs coach for four years, takes over as coordinator.

Needless to say , it will be another great year to watch football. I wish every sport was as unpredictable. Who knows, maybe the Texans will be in the superbowl this year??? I doubt it, but we'll see!

I think I'm still losing sleep over the way the playoffs ended last year. Hopefully Sherman grew some you know what and will go for it next time. I don't like Ed getting fired, he made the right call. The corners and safetys just plan blew it. That would of never happed if old Butler were still playing. Whats up with Mckensie, he wants out. I wish they would of made some moves this off season. No more Favre retiring talk, hes not that old and can still play. Glad to see Joe Johnson gone. I'm out. GO PAck

The Packers are trying to swing a trade for Randy Moss.
Now that they have a Couch and a Davenport they want to add a Lazy Boy....

[Farley]

McKenzie needs to cut his **** hair.

[outdoor ran]

otto, i'am laughing my a** off

Half of the Packers team needs a haircut. I hate the braids that stick out of the helmet. On the other hand, when a player gets burned deep, helps you know who got burned.

Farve is a great player, but as he gets older, I think he will start to miss games. Toughness only can go so far, and he is the toughest QB. I think he will miss 2-3 games this year.

[buzzsaw]

I think the Pack will be better this year!!
You see I heard that all summer Donatell had the defense working solely on stopping 4th and 26!!!!!! WITHOUT MCKENZIE!!!

Go Vikes!!

[Beef46]

Yes, since Green Bay plays in the weakest division in the NFL.....they have a chance.

He, he......just kidding guys. Not a Vikings fan and can't wait until the Seahawks come back to town for the rematch on Dec. 12th but Minnesota wins the central hands down this year.

[FishManDan]

Someone who supposedly has a "close connection" to the Vikings has told me that since Farve is a free agent this year he's waiting until final cut to come over to the Vikes?

I don't think that would be a good idea. . . expecially if they put him in as QB over Cullpepper! I don't know if I could cheer for him after hating him so very, very long.

Problem with your mention of Favre is that he signed a lifetime contract 3/2/01

Can't blame the Vikings for wishful thinking. Maybe they're thinking after Farve retires he could explain the plays to Culpepper.

[buzzsaw]

....or maybe Favre could teach you how to spell "Culpepper"! ( :

[MJR]

Who was player of the week?

Culpeper now is better than Farve. Maybe not 10 years ago(of course Daunte was in High School) but that doesn't mean much this season.

[Guest]

And Daunte isnt even in his prime yet! Once Favre retires, the Pack are done.
It's been a long ride Packers fans, but the train is pulling into the station and it's time to end your little journey. It will be sad to see the Pack trailing the Vikes as well as the Lions and Bears in a year or two.....I'm not really sad, just trying to prepare you for your inevitable reality

Vikes will win it all this year and will string together enough championships to erase all of our nightmares.

No way, they will bring Tim Couch back in and he will return the pack to another first round playoff loss.

[Chris-Neises]

Sorry about the typo buzz. Well noted. I'm glad you guys really think the Vikings will be much better this year. A little of the Packer enthusiasm must be rubbing off. It would take a whole lot of championships to balance the suffering Vikes fans have had to endure.

[sunnyj]

OUCH! Lose to the Bears on the home oppener. OUCH!

GO VIKES

[Chris-Neises]

OUCH is right. I started to watch the game, but it was really nice outside. After about ten minutes, I decided to go fishing and just listen to the game on the radio. That was the best decision I made yesterday. If they play like that this season, I'll be doing a lot of fishing.

Who is in last place in the North division? For you packer fans we are talking about this year, modern day football, not in the 1960's, Not 10 years ago, this century, this season.

Another opening day fiasco at the John Deere Dealership.

The Bears are the big rivalry for the packers aren't they? That had to sting.

[Chris-Neises]

OUCH! OUCH!! OUCH!!! It's a good thing Packer fans are loyal, because there isn't much to be happy about with their performances. I'm thinking this might become a long season.
