lookincalifornia Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 "gulp" i am gonna put this out there and see what happens.how do you guys feel about this year? i don't see any running game, and questionable recievers. on the plus side, i think rodgers has looked pretty good in pre-season. although he physically reminds me of the detmer brothers, and that porn star stache of his has got to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeking19 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've been a packer fan since i was born, but this year looks bad. if they finish 8-8 Brett Favre better be in the pro bowl because he would have had a great year. with morency hurt and Jackson coming back from that concussion, Favre will have to carry that team on his old and tired back.

Trainman Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Viking fan posting from deep in WI. Hate to admit it, but the Pack is better than you think. Probably 10-6 or better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudcutter Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I would agree, the pack has a real nice def. If the off can produce I see them challenging the Bears. Vikes are a big ? with Jackson at QB, and I see him struggling agst NFL def without top notch recievers. Lots of picks with poor thrown balls, but if he can keep that to min, the def should give them 6-7 or wins. I don't see any more. I guess the games agst the pack will determine who finishes ahead of each other. I see pack going 9-7 and the Vikes 7-9 or 6-10.Vikes fan in Iowa, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Joseph Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The running game will come together. Someone will emerge and not be a star, but will carry enough of the load to be an added dimension late in the year as long as the Bret and Donald can get them thru the first 4-5 games with a .500 record. The defense is looking pretty solid and if Thompson has any brains he should be looking around for another good back and offering 1 of the 5 or 6 d-linemen as trade bate.

mnwild Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Running game is a concern but they put together a very good defense. I think they will go 9-7, 10-6 is pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbreath1 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The problem with them is Favre refusing to quit and handcuffing the organization. He's a shadow of his former self, and you know Mike McCarthy would love to put Rodgers in there and see what he has, but if he benches Favre he'll get run out of town. Really bad situation for a young team that needs a young quarterback to step up... and soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookincalifornia Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 i think the vikes have the edge with their running game, but the nfc north is gonna be weird this year. the bears are the only sure thing, and that is not a lock with grossman. who knows when the lions are gonna make any headway. perhaps the pack can put something together. i like the d and who knows, they made edgar bennet, dorcey levens and ahman green look like great backs.

Hammer Handle Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I think Detroit will have a better year this year than the Pack and the Vikings. I hope not, but I think they will.Vikes will have their #2 starting quaterback play in a few games. I think he is better anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFL Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I think 8-8 is a very optimistic ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Being a vikes fan this is hard. I think the pack will actually have a good season. I think the offense is underated and the def is pretty good. Watch out chicago. But who knows maybe the vikes will surprise us all and turn some heads.

walleyeking19 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 yeah we're undeafeted!! that mason crosby guy sure can really boot the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookincalifornia Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 i know it's the first game, but that was a huge win.the eagles are one of the best teams in the nfc, and the pack needed to get that lambeau swagger back. i think against a weaker defense, that new running back may put up some numbers.

Nate McVey Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 That was a pretty good game all around! Offense needs some work (mainly Bubba), but the defense looked good and that kicker deserved the game ball! GO PACK GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
