Helluva game although my Saints fan friends will be disappointed.

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

Hmm, no rust from the lockout. None at all.

I swear if the packers come out in a prevent defense. How does that keep managing to be put in use with the game on the line? It's gotta have an extremely low success margin.

Already in the rz? Horrible. Also amazing throw and catch there

Edit: keep forgetting I'm still behind lol. What a great game. It's always nice to see an epic qb duel. TMC you should be happy, both brees and Rodgers had excellent games tonight.

What a great ending. Packs cover the -5!!!!!!!!

UGH!!! I didn't hit SAVE when I moved Sproles to my starting lineup in my fantasy team..

:(

I think Rodgers might be the best QB in the league. Peyton is down and on the back end of the career...Brady is freakin great, but when it comes down to better passer and the fact Rodgers can make plays with the legs, its close, but I give Rodgers a slight advantage. Brees in the convo of course too.

Wow! What a way to start the season. Great Game!

I think there was some rust on both D's, a lot of hands on knees, gassin. I think there will be a lot of points scored this weekend. Usually the D is ahead of the O early, not the case with no two a days to get in shape.

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

Yeah, I know the offenses looked good, but seemed to me that ST and the Defenses both looked less then stellar, and out of sorts. Some of that was the quality of the offense, but I think some was attributed to the crazy off-season. I don't think that one game is a good indicator of how the shortened off-season will impact this year.

Hell of a way to kick off the season, great game!

I'm not sure you can attribute any rust out there to a lack of offseason workouts, or if it's simply the first game of the season where there is typically some rust and guys not used to playing for 60 minutes.

What rust?..... Maybe on D but the offenses were lighting it up out there. It was great !

Aarron Rodgers was not looking rusty. dude out there slingin, still got that title belt on

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

If this weekend is anything like that game last night we are all in for a treat! HTTR!

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

I just want to give some props to the NFL for the Thursday night opener format. Love it. Opening with a prime matchup is so sweet. Lots of great games lined up for this weekend too. The NFL is just so money, even with the new kickoff rule. That 108 yard return was sick.

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

The Saints really hurt themselves with missed tackles. Maybe that just was what it was or maybe that was an element of rustiness.

What was the ratings for the game? I'm sure it was solid.

Jimmy Graham basically ended the game for the Saints when he decided to celebrate with a "belt" of his own after his td. I guess he didnt see John Abraham last year...

Broken collarbone for Colston. Out around a month. Tough loss for the Saints
