2008 Green Bay Packers

[zamboni]

Can't believe the Lions blew that game today, thought we would have a 3 way tie.

OK, maybe I can believe they blew it, but still- they had a decent lead. Plus Orton got hurt.

[Sandmannd]

I would love to see the Lions be the first winless team ever.

Might have happened, but with Culpepper, they might get 1 or 2

Vikings/Packers week and you guys are talking about the Lions?

Childress said Jared Aleen re-injured his shoulder and might not play, any truth to that or is he just blowing smoke?

[Sandmannd]

I have heard that Snooze. But the guy may manup and just go for it.

If his right arm were to get completely torn off his body, he still plays. I don't think he would have been able to brush his teeth with his right arm towards the end of Sunday's game, but his left arm had no problem registering another sack.

[Scott K]

If his right arm fell off during a game, he would pick it up and use it to smack the QB

[fishyguy]

I don't think there is any doubt he plays it will come down to his effectiveness.

[snoozebutton]

Well, was he that effective or is Clifton getting that bad?

[snoozebutton]

Well, this just sucks:

Quote:

Linebacker Nick Barnett is out for the season with a torn knee ligament, Coach Mike McCarthy said today at his press conference.

Barnett was hurt in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers lost the game, 28-27.

Surgery has not yet been scheduled.

Barnett, 27, was a first-round pick in 2003 from Oregon State. He was named a Pro Bowl alternate last season.

The loss of Barnett will have a big impact on the Packers' defense. Running back Adrian Peterson had 124 of his 225 total yards from scrimmage after Barnett left the game.

Going into this season, Barnett had missed only two games as a Packer.

That is unfortunate. He definately keeps that D together out there. Hate to see a great player go down like that.

[snoozebutton]

I thought Hawk looked pretty good at ML yesterday. Maybe Barnett will be moved to the weak side when he comes back next season.

Anyhow, pretty good job by the defense of the O-line against a pretty good Bears team.

[Scott K]

Hey Packer fans, Welcome to first place!

[LMITOUT]

If the season ended today (I always love that one) the Pack would be NFC North Champions once again.

The next divisional game for Green Bay will be against Chicago at Soldier Field, so that could be a big game if their records are still equal at that time.

Lot of football to be played yet.

[CrappiesNCats]

how embarrassingly bad will the NFC North champion get defeated in the first round of the playoffs?

if i had to pick, i think Green Bay will escape with the title. the bears get lucky to often, and the vikings have played through most of their "easy" portion of the schedule. Green Bay has the easiest road ahead.

[Scott M]

I think Ryan Grant is going to blow up the remainder of the season. He did the same thing last year. Schedule isn't too bad for him either. Lots of running in December at Lambeau.

I'm glad he's on my H2H roster.

[snoozebutton]

I think we need to see a lot of Grant this week to keep the ball out of Brees' hands. He's been averaging 325 yards per game and is on pace to set a new record for passing yards in a season.

The Saints have the #1 offense but their defense is ranked 25th. Should be a shoot out. The over/under is 52, I think I'd go over.

[PierBridge]

Was that over/under for the Saints only.....

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Rodgers is the tops

[snoozebutton]

He's better than anything the Vikes can put on the field.

[CrappiesNCats]

He's better than anything the Vikes can put on the field.

must be the rest of the team thats worse then.

[mnwild]

What a poor showing by the pass defense last night just aweful amd it was a hard game to watch. Hopefully they can turn it around against Carolina but I have a bad feeling about that game also.

GO BEARS THIS WEEKEND!!!!

I love the Packer backers new mantra. No longer do we hear, "at least we won a Super Bowl", but now it is, "our quarterback is better than yours". How many times have we hear that recently? We pick on the Packers and the comeback is Ferotte sucks.

I like Rogers. I think he will be good to great before he is done. I like the way he laid the hit on the DB last night after that pick. It showed toughness, hustle, and that he had the brains to recognize he outweighed the guy by 40lbs and could afford it. Outside of that, the Packers have been horribly inconsistent much like our Vikes.

Maybe the best part for some people is Rogers has taken a 13-3 team and turned them into a 5-6 team so far. Favre has taken a 4-12 team and turned them into a 8-3 team. If you backed keeping Rogers it must have you wondering, what if. If you, backed keeping Favre it must have you wondering, what if.

[zamboni]

Didn't the Vikes beat the Saints??? In NOLA???? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, explain to me how Rodgers is awesome. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He might be watching his pal Brett Favre playing in the play-offs from his living room.
