Looks like the Packers may be hard to beat this year

[CLANG]

Anyone else watching the game on ESPN?

1. Oh totally.

I mean, preseason games have historically been a great predictor of regular season success. Just ask the 0-16 2008 Lions, who were a perfect 4-0 in the preseason.

2. Yep. Got in this same argument last night...

Sick of hearing it from people...

All I kept hearing is how good x was in the preseason games this year... All I had to say was the 0-16 Lions were 4-0 in preseason and suddenly the topic gets changed...

Preseason should be abolished. If I were a coach/gm, my starters and 2nd stringers wouldn't play one second of preseason football. Not one play.

Abolish it or put it to one or two games. It's useless.

9. It serves a purpose--but not in any Win-Loss sense

It just gives the teams a realistic chance to evaluate the on-the-bubble talent, and work on stuff like timing.

Having said that, I never watch a second of it.

3. The great Redskin team of 1990-91 that won the SB

Was 0-4 and looked COMPLETELY horrid in the pre-season. Pre-Season means NADA!

4. Oh TZ, the Packer faithful have to cling to something...

after they ran their beloved hero out of town. :evilgrin:

5. beloved hero......*gag* *choke* *gag*

He's dead to me.... GO PACK GO. Give me A-12 anyway. :bounce: :woohoo: :applause:

6. LOL

My point proven. :)

7. Let me just say I think the packers will be good this year, however,

last ngiht's game meant squat...too bad, too, because I love seeing Payless stink it up.

8. Packers should be a force

The Packers could win their Division but they will have to do better against the Vikes than they did last year. The cowboys are another team that could be hard to beat also. Of course the Saints are returning 20 of 22 starters and have strengthen their bench some so the Saints are the team to beat in the NFC.

give me ten and I'll put a twenty dollar donation to DU as a bet with my lions at the Detroit home game.
