With the Packs draft, I think the division is definitely up for grabs between the Vikes, Pack and Bears. They all moved up a notch or two. The Lions look to be improving as well.

The Pack did a nice job getting Raji if he can stay healthy and Matthews a jouneyman type LB could add depth for their new 3-4.

I think the Pack had a fantastic draft. The first 2 picks are solid and a great way to solidify the 3-4. It was tough to see Crabtree sitting there and pass on him, but Raji is a stud. It's going to be a great season and the NFC North should be a difficult division this year.

I agree Shiner...They should have an immediate impact, plus having Cullen Jenkins, Nick Barnett & the secondary healthy again will help.

Driver and Jennings had over 1000yds receiving, Rodgers over 4000 yds passing and Grant over 1200 rushings yds with a bad hammy.

The division will be a battle this year.

Yes, I got a bite wink

I don't know, can anyone remind us again what were the records from last year? I think one of has forgotten!

The past doesnt mean anything!!!! If it did I would tell you how many super bowls Green Bay has!!!

The past has as much to do with sports fandom as the future. Of course, we DO tend to pick which parts of the past about our teams we talk up and which we ignore.

Is it our fault that we can focus on Super Bowl/championship victories and the Vikes fans can't? I don't think so. winkwink

The only way the queens will have a better record then the pack is if they pick up number 4!! Then its still a [PoorWordUsage] shot. Vikings have the easiest schedule too which will help them out!!

Where is the Vikes schedule easier? 14 games are exactly the same as the Pack. 2 games are different. The first game that is different is 3rd place TB for you and division champ Carolina for the Vikes. We get a 12-4 team and you get a 9-7 team. The other game that is different is the Pack get the third place 9-7 Cowboys and we get the division champ 12-4 Giants. So where is it that we have the easiest schedule? OOPS... eek Maybe just some hedging of your bet with some early excuse making? laugh

The Pack should be tough this year. Good draft for talent and need. Kampman making the adjustment to a new position may be the biggest key. Rogers answered all the questions last year so no worries there. I think the question may be, is the defense of two years ago the level of talent it has or did they just come back to earth last year? Injuries were a factor but there was more to it than that it seemed. If they do improve the defense they will be in the mix all season long.

Raji signed this afternoon. Can't wait to see him in real game action, he is a man child!!!!! Can't wait to see some smash mouth Defense, that's what's been sorely missing. A touch of that and we'll surprise some people!!

Agreed. The offense was solid last year, the defense was porous at best. You have to be able to stop the run!

Have fun at the game!!! I went two years ago and had a blast. Its the best game day experience in the NFL.

Doubt Raji is going to play. I read this morning he passed the physical and conditioning test and is in good shape, so that will help get him on the field sooner. The more reps the better for him!!!!

Rodgers, Packers look sharp in shutout of Browns

Rodgers directed two long touchdown drives before departing, and Green Bay's new 3-4 defense gave Quinn and Anderson fits in the Packers' 17-0 win over the Cleveland Browns in their preseason opener Saturday night.

Rodgers went 5 of 10 for 102 yards and completed a 53-yard TD pass to Donald Driver on the opening drive. Driver initially looked over his left shoulder on the long third-down pass, then swiveled right to catch the ball in stride past safety Abram Elam, who was late rotating over on the play.

Rodgers followed it with an 11-play drive that included a fourth-and-5 conversion on a defensive holding penalty and was capped by Ryan Grant's 2-yard TD run.

While the Packers made a few defensive mistakes, the pressure more than made up for it.

Aaron Kampman, converting to linebacker from end and forced to play more pass coverage, watched Quinn zip one to receiver Mike Furrey between him and linebacker Brady Poppinga on Cleveland's opening drive. But he slammed Quinn to the ground moments later when no one picked up his rush from the right side.

Kampman got his hands on Anderson, too, breaking through and grabbing enough of Anderson's throwing arm on his first atttempt to disrupt the play. Anderson's second pass on his next drive was lobbed up for grabs after getting more pressure by Desmond Bishop and Tramon Williams intercepted it.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
