Finally we are here!!!! NFL Regular season thread week 1!!!!!!!

Why does every singer who sings the national anthem have to put their own personal touch on it? It's meant to be about the f'n nation we live in, and lately it seems like the people who are interested in singing it care more about the spotlight being on themselves than the true meaning of the song.

Good observation.

Knew I should have started Meachem

Yeah, the Packers are truly loaded. And Rodgers is going to succeed Manning.

I'll go Saints 29-Packers 20

Well...so much for that prediction

Congrats to whoever took Aaron Rodgers in their fantasy league. Looks like he's not going to disappoint. He just threaded that needle on that throw before his last touchdown pass.

Randall Cobb needs more air in his Lambeau Leap. Practice it, rookie.

Wow, Pierre Thomas. Another "homegrown" player.

Green Bay is employing alot of "4" man fronts. I use quotes because they only have two down linemen.

I agree with you in most cases but I think she did a great job not going over board.

Saints are trying to make a game of this but I think its going to get ugly in the 2nd half.

They run a somewhat similar 3-4 to ours. We often only have 2, 1 or even 0 down linemen.
