Saints @ Packers tonight who ya got??

I'm going GB 28-24

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

Great handpicked game to start the season.
Gotta get those nice ratings.
I could see either of these teams in the Super bowl this year although I'd prefer to see the Saints do better and I'm still pissed at the Pack for that ancient super score Monday night game we lost to them. (showing my age)
Hope to get a glimpse of Mark Ingram tonight but he's not so high on the depth chart yet.
Should be a very good game.

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

I hope I'll be able to watch the game. Stupid torrential rains for the last 4 days have ruined my signal on DTV and I'm not going anywhere to watch the game since a lot of roads are getting shut down due to flooding.

I'll put my money on the Pack though, I think it will be close, both teams in the upper 20 points range and the Pack will win 30-28.

Goodell just announced that the lockout is back on and tonight's game is cancelled.

Que statement.

[quote=The Rog]

Due to the blockbuster deal the NFL agreed to with ESPN today, we regret to announce we are effectively locking out the players until we can renegotiate a better deal. The players cannot continue hogging all the pie like the mafia type union that they are. Unfortunately this means that the Packers will not be playing the Saints tonight, and Kid Rock will not get to play his latest hybrid country rock/hip hop song in front of an audience that doesn't care. If anyone should be blamed for this unfortunate series of events, it is the players. We cannot in good conscience continue to be strong armed by these thugs and criminals. Deuces, and remember who the good guys are in this fight. It is us, the owners. Thank you.

It's not just you.

I'll drink to that. I liked about half the songs on his first two c.d.'s but I don't like the "explorative" phase he's been going in since that.

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

Saints 27
Packers 38

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.

Damnnnnnn Aaron Rodgers is a badass.

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

Aaron Rodgers did me good last year when all the pundits were riding Brees.

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

Too easy...way too easy. That CB is going to have a tough day.

Ryan Grant should be a fantasy steal this year.

Until he gets injured.

Again.

Great minds think alike lol

Bullshit and you know it. Played in every game in 2008 and 2009.

To be fair I didn't say it like he's injury prone but he did have some problems before that. He's played with injuries in the past.

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

Green Bay starting in Nickel? Oh my.

And the saints arrived to the party fashionably late. Anybody smell a shootout?

Good observation.

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

Knew I should have started Meachem

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

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

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.

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

Wow, Pierre Thomas. Another "homegrown" player.

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

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.

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

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