Gary Phaserman 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Here is a number for you. 6. The number of games the Packers have won. Here's another number. 1. The number of games the Packers have lost. Here's another big number... 273.7 The average passing yards per game this season. Only one team has more, but the Patriots don't really count anyways, right? This team is young, and they are talented, and they are playing like they have something to prove. They do, really. They are tied with the best record in the NFC, along with the Dallas Cowboys. Nobody seems to think this team is really that good. Numbers don't lie. Yes, their running game sucks, but when you've got Brett Favre and Donald Driver on the field, and young players who make fools out of the likes of Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly (both gave up HUGE plays for Touchdowns, including a walk-off 80+ Yard TD pass in Overtime.), and a defense that is possibly the best in the league, you gotta take these guys into consideration. Al Harris and Charles Woodson are two of the best corners in the NFL. Nick Collins at Safety is freaky fast and one of the hardest hitters in the league. Nick Barnett and 2nd Year man AJ Hawk from THE Ohio State are lighting it up for the Pack in the Linebacking Corps...and then there's the front four, an alternating monstrosity with the best players you've probably never heard of. Johnny Jolly, the big man on the line, is a run-stuffing, pocket collapsing beast in the middle. Aaron Kampman is the best Defensive End in the league that doesn't play for the Giants. On the other side, you have Cullen Jenkins and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamilla alternating at the end. These two are monsters. KGB is like the Jimmy Johns' of Defensive Ends, he's Freaky Fast off the line. These guys are incredible. Don't count them out. Looking ahead, I'd expect to see them only have one loss going into the Dallas game in six weeks. By the way, if you watched the game, you know now that you can ignore anyone who says Favre's arm is not what it used to be. He may be the old man, but he still brings the heat.

GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted October 30, 2007 Cool. Big time Packers fan here! I live in Wisconsin and this is definitely Packer Country. Favre is and will always be the man to many here in Wisconsin. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted October 30, 2007 First, its great to see you back posting Gary! <_< Please keep it up. You've been missed! The Packers are indeed looking amazing and Brett makes all over 35ers proud. His footwork is solid, he's got great vision on the field and he's got some good receivers and some protection (finally). I look forward to seeing what he can do the rest of the season.

Gary Phaserman 0 Posted December 1, 2007 Quick injury update on Favre, He's got a bruised elbow and a separated left (non-throwing) shoulder. He is expected to play Week 14 against the Raiders. How bout a hand for Aaron Rodgers? Showing that he to, has got some game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
