I am going to be glued to the TV tonight! I will be picking the Pack to win the game big time. 31-14. lots pressure I feel on Kizer to have a good game, I hope Boyle gets at least one quarter of play and the third QB can have part of the 4th. Kizer starts of well I can see him playing 2 1/2 quarters, will be watching the big fullback perform also the wrs group is important . not concerned with the rbs. TE. I really want Tonyan to improve, I am one person who from his first year until maybe the last two of his career never thought he was all but average kicker. Croby had a lifetime kick % at 78% to 81% until he had the couple very good years.people want to blame it on the 8 home games but lots of really great kickers did well while kicking in not so good weather. For sure the Offensive line is not really solid in cement yet. Only LInsley, Bak and Bulaga are the starters, after that the guards could be almost anyone, plus it makes the depth better because I think it is very close. Too bad King has a hammy he needs to be ready for the season AND have a very good year. Otherwise I see him gone. Can Tony Brown play up and stay away from his childish flags? Will TY Summers make the team? I hope so. Go Pack Go!

Well the Pack had 4 turnovers for the defense, I realize the Houston team had a lot to do with 3 of them but you still need the defense to make it happen. It looks to me the depth is much better this season so far. I like Summers, Tonyan, dislike Moore, Sheppard looks better. Really like Boyle, Kum. punt game looked good, placed it where he wanted and his hang time was 5 seconds and 4.9 while the rest he did well.

yes it is preseason, but still. i think with the next CBA that we['ll be down to 2 preseason games, and the loss in revenue will be offset by adding a 7th playoff team in both conferences, eliminating the bye for the 2 seed.

nice idea, but I think it will not fly this soon. I do not like the idea of adding play-offs team soon every team will make the play-offs anyway, what do you think of Daniels release? I bet he will be out to prove the Pack wrong in letting him go. ouch!  |

thing is i'm fine with adding back a 3rd wildcard team, the NFL had 3 wildcard teams from 1990-2002. it puts more emphasis on getting that top seed. the new team almosrt certainly loses against the 2 seed anyway.

by adding and keeping 4 preseason games and the byes weeks in as well it sure does make the NFL season longer, To me bunching all the pro sports playing at the same time in not good for any league. Right now NBA, NFL, Baseball,and HOckey play at the same time briefly.

hence why i favor cutting the preseason. the games dont meant anything and the established players barely play in them, but fans pay regular season prices for them.

just got done watching the Balt vs Pack game for second time. I am not impressed with Gary, Nor the Smith ends, Lancaster did decently. Summers is good, Tonyon is going to be very good. Jenkins is got a ways to learn but looked decent, Not impressed with Mc Crays play, Turner did ok.Jenkins is solid but needs to play and learn more quickly Bulaga just cannot get outside, Pack needs to find a Right Tackle next year.Kumarow is very good, needs to be in the first three wr starters, Lazard is playing well, still need punt and kicker returner. Adams at defense is not getting it done. Fackrell should be further up the list, Clark is solid, so Is Lowery.
Long ways to go on the defense, Offense with a Healthy Rodgers should do well WR, Adams yet, Kumorow, MVS should be top three. Brown is in need of a wake up, a least three other WRs, have done good jobs, I really see the WR group as a very difficult group to pick when the cuts must come. Hope you all watched the @nd game, The Pack is still pretty good in talent just need to find the right fit. Raiders next in Canada.
Please readers put up your thoughts and opinions on what you see from your Packers so far?

Only caught some of the game. I primarily thought that their backups were better than ours.

the only good thing I got from that game was the fact that Lazard really looks good and is one big target Did you happen to notice if the OL Nijman played? I missed him some how. His number is 73 and at 6'7" he does stand out on the line, I like the player I watched in game one and say him totally control anyone he had to block He also finished his block he drove one guy 15 away from the play. I hope he is that good and makes the team. But somehow I missed him yesterday. If you watched and he played, what was your opinion of his play? thanks

with Trevor Davis back, do you think he makes thew team? He is a very decent return man and can get better. Plus it seems they feel he can be a great deep threat on certain downs as well as being used as a rollout player. Can he stay HEALTHY?

I saw that we had a lot of injuries again. St Brown is out for the year, and I'm not sure how bad the other injuries are, yet
