The Green Bay Packers...

[Sunde91]

Are tied with the Saints at +485 to win the NFC @ TheGreek as of 8/4/10...

Consindering I'm in GB for training camp/family this week, I'm pumped..

DLine looks much improved, personally seeing to it that Dom Cappers gets that pash rush and secondary going..Offense will be lights fuking out this year with a veteran, DEEP receiving core, Rodgers a stud as always, the O Line getting back to form, and the whole team hungry and more experienced from what happened last year..

WATCH OUT THIS YEAR BOYS

I like Green Bay to win it all. I have never really loved the team. I am a crazy Cowboy fan. There in their second season of the new defense. They did not play bad last year but you could tell it was a new defense. I like them.

[Fishhead]

OL stinks

OVERrated............and I'm a PACKER FAN

[vanc]

Totally overrated. Rodgers didn't win 1 playoff game.

[RUQB10]

Rodgers is some garbage... they wont even be a .500 team

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Got value but I don't think it will cash.

[actionchris]

i dont know if they'll win it all but they should go pretty deep, rodgers is turning out to be a great quarterback but the oline still worries me

[RedBird8]

Very good team. Great offense but the defense is due to decline a little from last year unless they get the pass rush up. RUQB10 how is rodgers garbage? He has had two great seasons so far.

Please settle down man....

The Packers..??

Sorry...no..

Aaron Rodgers freezes like a deer in headlights when he has a little
pressure....and he is starting to fumble in critical games like Favre
did....remember Rodgers in Arizona playoff game..

The Green and Yellow have a problem rising to the occasion when
the game is big...

Outside of the Arizona playoff game last year...the 2 biggest games
on the Green and Yellow's schedule was the 2 with Minnesota...for
obvious reasons......

And the Green and Yellow shit the bed both times.....

Can you imagine how terrible that was to stomach for the Green and Yellow's
fans when Favre ran off Lambeau Field triumphantly last year after
kicking GB's ass.....

Coach Mike McCarthy better hope Favre stays retired or he will be embarrassed
again when No.4 comes knocking....

McCarthy is your Green and Yellow stereotypical below average, under achieving,
grasping for straws coach much in the mold of Dan Devine.. Lindy Infante..
Ray Rhodes....etc...

If The Green and Yellow beat out Detroit for 3rd place
in the NFC North....I would be greatly surprised...

Hope this helps....

[officepoolguy]

Overrated...Overrated...Overrated. They were very fortunate to have a +24 turnover margin last year. This year things will even out as they always do, they won't get as many turnovers and will go 9-7.

[Art Vandelay]

Rodgers is some garbage... they wont even be a .500 team

Not sure what you're smoking! He's only in the top 3 QBs in the NFL. As for the record, they could have a bad season and finish 9-7. Realistically I look for 11-5 and a few playoff wins.

Unreal, a queen/Bear fan no doubt.

Rodgers is the best running QB in the NFL and throws on the run with ease with his eyes always down field, pressure is not a problem. The O Line was also in shambles last year, not his fault. The Arizona play was an absurd fluke. But tell me who threw 5+ TDs or w/e to comeback from 3 TDs down in 2nd half?

Personally, I would have expected them to be 4th to win conference, but seeing them tied for 1st right now tells you what Vegas sees in them..+485 is shit value still, imo.

I live in Minneapolis but am neither a Viking or Bear fan.....

But I guess I will have to do this year what I had to do last year


Not go out on the deck on Sundays......

Cause when the wind is right.....you can smell that putrid stench
of stale Green cheese coming from the East that always seems to come around every football season...................


Ciao............

[ronjon619]

The Pack will not sneak up on anyone this year. JW that is exactly what I think will happen to the Lambu leapers. McCarthy is such an arrogant fu(k. They will be the bust of 2010/11.

[Jshap1515]

Rodgers is some garbage... they wont even be a .500 team

You sir are an idiot. They are by far the best team in the division w/o Favre

[mav924]

Green Bay will improve this year and Rodgers keeps improving with experience

[csm506]

Expect GB to win 11 games this year GL with your team

[Glitch]

this is not a ridiculous pick at all. definitely deservingly one of the favorites.

[hockeyman30304]

I like it, I think the pack can win it all...

[gr1624]

Living in Milwaukee my whole life I get all the Packer info I need. The people who say Rogers sucks and they will be lucky to not take last in the division really must not know football. I do agree this team is going to be weaker on D this year and it causes concern. Offensively they should be a top 5 team and think they will be a playoff team. Superbowl I doubt but as a Packer fan and also someonw with some common sense I think this is a 10-6 team who could win a playoff game or two.

[hugh_morris]

Green Bay has had a couple of hiccups...this team is a tight unit....they will be fine....10 wins this season is not unrealistic....out..

[Fishhead]

BIGBY out indefinetly....

Packers S Bigby to have ankle surgery




By Sports Network

The Sports Network

Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby will undergo ankle surgery on Friday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.
Bigby indicated he needs an arthroscopic procedure on the ankle and does not expect miss a significant amount of time, though McCarthy did not give a timetable on the four-year veteran's return.
In 13 games with the Packers last year, Bigby recorded four interceptions and 49 tackles.

I love to hear all this talk. GB's D will be much improved over last year considering they are in the second year of Capers system. Rodgers is right behind Manning with his only downfall not winning the big game yet. Many scouts have analyzed his pension for holding the ball to long, and it is clear that is not the case in most instances. I will say that the weakest link is the running game without a stud back. Grant played very well the 2nd half of the season and quietly went about his 1000yds. The Oline which has been prone to injuries, is healthy but has yet proved it can stay that way for the whole season. If they reduce penalties and improve special teams there is no doubt they could go deep in the playoffs.

[nobshine]

Bigby was not that big of a concern. His holdout was expected and why they drafted Burnett in the 3rd round. However, it would have been nice to have competition in camp.

If that turns out to be true, they would end the season with one of the game's all-time great defenses.

[3PtShooter]

GREEN Bay about a year away

[Sox2010]

The main thing that stands in their way is their start. They need to get off to a 5-1 or 4-2 start and not have the pressure they had last year. It comes down to the Cowboys, Saints, Vikings and Packers, there really is no one else to challenge those 4

[frankzig]

not much of a packer fan but will keep an eye open

[Rookie-Capper]

I really like the pack this year and rodgers is a top 5 qb

[coloradobuff]

i hope they fall flat

[Ace_of_Spades]

Rodgers is a guy you want to draft in NFL Fantasy League. He racks up a lot of points.

[nobshine]

If that turns out to be true, they would end the season with one of the game's all-time great defenses.

One of the problems was getting outguessed on play calling. Although few, there were times they were susceptible to a big run but they do have a very stout run stopping d. Pass rush is another vital area. Clay was outstanding as a rook and will only improve. Capers disguise of the blitz was top notch, and uses Woodson perfectly, and they have shown they can score with the best, IE Arizona, but need to pressure the QB. Harris' injury hurt but he is way ahead of schedule but will not practice much.
Practice is focusing on reducing penalties and major focus has been on special teams where they failed miserably last season. GB was at the bottom in punting but have a good battle in camp and looks like the kid from Australian rules foots. will win out.

My big ? is McCarthy. Can he come up with the crucial calls in big games? He has a hard nosed approach and demands smart play but has yet to prove he can take the team to the next level.

My thought is if Childress can do it, anyone can. I am very familiar with Brad from his days at Wisconsin.

[slacker00]

Consindering I'm in GB for training camp/family this week, I'm pumped..

How do the corners look? I'm sure Woodson is fine, anyone pushing Harris for the starting job? How does the depth look? I'm a big Trammond Williams fan, how's he looking?

CB is my biggest worry for the Packers this year. I have a feeling that Harris/Woodson or both will get dinged up late in the year like they always do and I want to know who'll be playing CB in December if one of these guys inevitably goes down. Thompson really needed to get a a CB in the draft, which is the only major knock on the Packers offseason.

Woodson has been doing ok overall, but seen him get burnt and give up TDs in red zone/2-minute drills..he will be fine but don't see him having another Defensive Player of the Year year.

Harris is still recovering from injury, not playing.

Williams looks good, competing with Bell, Bush, and Lee for other spot.

CB has solid depth.

Bigby was not that big of a concern. His holdout was expected and why they drafted Burnett in the 3rd round. However, it would have been nice to have competition in camp.

Yes, he's been very good so far.

Bigby was too inconsistent in pass coverage anyway, still riding his standout 2007 year.

Rodgers is some garbage... they wont even be a .500 team

Rodgers is throwing DARTS, kid..he's mobile, intelligent, accurate, fundamentally/mechanically sound, strong arm, leader, motivated, has 4 solid and established recievers, worked with Brees in offseason...

OL stinks

Tauscher and Clifton will hold down the outside very well at Tackle, Fisher..Bulaga is also there for the future.


I think RB will hurt them this year though, again. Grant sucks and will be back to a 2.6 ypc like the first half last year. He is definitely working hard, but just not expecting a lot. After him, its Jackson and Lumpkin and a couple FAs they picked up, DO NOT LIKE IT.

[hankcream]

Way too much hype for the Packers this year. I live in Green Bay and evrybody must be drinking Johnny Jolly's Purple drink. O-line is very suspect, Rodgers has good stats but can he win a big game?????? Defense had good stats against lousy offenses but got torched by good QBs. Ted Thompson did very little to improve team in the offseason while and the schedule will be harder this year. Remeber they lost to Tampa Bay last year. They will be lucky to win 9 games this year. I will be taking the over on most of their games this year.
