With the packers play so far in the preseason..Does it change how you view the team going into the regular season? (Warning: May use some of your answers in tonights radio show)

To me, I don't put THAT much stock in pre season to get all wigged out about anything. The offense looks unstopable, no way Aaron Rodgers will play this way through an entire season, no way the offense will be this good all season. On defense...The secondary has struggled. They may not be as bad as what we think...Everything changes when pre season ends.

Both sides stop playing vanilla... Rodgers says the defense they've played have been very vanilla and the Packers have basically rushed only 3 most of their first two games and against the colts they played mostly vanilla nickel but rushing 4

The only thing I aimed to view during the preseason was the QB's mechanics. Specifically, footwork, time to release the pass, velocity and if their using quick reads with anticipation or simply drilling the ball in at the last second.

Unfortunately, I am not going to get this upcoming game. NFL Network isn't even going to replay it for me. Bastids!

The only thing I take out of it is the main theme that our offense is probably even more unstoppable than last year, and that the young CBs have not stepped up, with the possible exception of newby Sam Shields.

As has been said by people since the dawn of preseason football. It's never as good as it looks and never as bad either.

Defense for me is impossible to judge since we haven't seen the entire starting defense on the field together as a unit, that could be good or bad I suppose.

Overall for preseason it's a matter of looking at individual matchups and watch to see players win their 1 on 1 battles. If individuals win their 1 on 1 battles then the team will have a good shot.

I somehow missed that before. I went through three days after the game and found nothing that said Packers on TVGuide.com.

http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/networkschedule?selectedDate=09/04/2010&field=selectedDate 

It's listed there though.

Anyone wanna watch a concluded super meaningless preseason game at about 10am EST this Saturday with me? lol

Scratch that shit, that means I'd get up at 8am.

I'll be hitting up the 10pm MST kickoff on Friday, Sept 3rd. 🙂

i'm pretty cautious about putting too much stock into preseason either way.

case in point: the lions went 4-0 in the 2008 preseason only to go 0-16 that season.

Last year we were going for those wins on defense. We blitzed a lot. We went in the complete opposite direction this year, evaluating our "talent" in base defense. We have no base defense, that much has been confirmed.
I don't care. You cannot stop our offense. I don't care who you are. We faced many, many blitzes this pre-season. Remember the 49ers game a few years ago? They put the blitz on us, and damn near killed Rodgers.

You can go ahead and blitz us---I would---we will STILL smoke your ass.

WHEN we blitz now, it is HIGHLY effective. We disguise it so extremely well.

Capers- If he has the courage to do so, SHOULD have figured out by now that our nickle/prevent/rush 3 D COMPLETELY SUCKS---contrasted with our "pressure" D--- which is arguably the best in the business. It doesn't even look hard to figure out, but we are Wisconsin folk, and the shit seems to trickle down (intellect-wise), so I remain quite nervous. Our secondary seems to suck shit without pressure.

    beast (24m) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
    beast (8h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
    packerfanoutwest (13h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
    Martha Careful (14h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
