LOL! My thoughts exactly. I cannot WAIT! Damn its exciting.

That number "38-10 at half" versus AZ is the most exciting one. Yes, it's preseason and they may not have game planned much for us. Yes we're showing a lot of our defense early on... but come on 38-10!? If we beat anyone by a margin even approaching that in the first 5 games of the season I'll poop inside my pants.

longtimefan: The article you quoted is by Don Banks, not Peter King. Here is the link:

Peter King says good things about the Packers too, of course.

With all due respect, a LOT of us on this site were predicting records ranging from 10-6 to 12-4 long before the preseason started.

pretty much everyone's opinion hinged on how the new-look defense would perform. Well, it's been good. really good. so, there ya go.

Media hacks are pathological bandwagon jumpers. The moment the Packers have a mediocre performance or suffer a loss, they'll be predicting doom and gloom with the same alacrity they now proclaim them a juggernaut.

I could see Green Bay losing to Chicago in week one and still coming away with a successful season and maybe even better than the Bears. Of course if they do lose, Packer fans will have to read all the preseason means nothing comments from the media. It's always a what have you done lately type of attitude with people.

Nothing wrong with being optimistic. I just find it funny that whenever a writer picks against the Packers, they are "idiots", but when they pick the Packers, they "get it". LOL
