Preseason hype a concern?· Page 4

I think our defense was simply out played. Not sure if it was over confident because of the meaningless game that half the Cardinals starters didn't play in. I'll buy into the over confidence in the beginning of the year for shizzle, plus Aaron said they were, lol.

Because they played against the backups the week prior?

Not saying he didn't say it, sounds familiar, I just don't know how a team can be over confident on playing a team a second time that when they played the first time, a good portion of the starters didn't play. Doesn't really make a lot of sense.

I don't know how I forgot about this, but these are great points, and part of what worries me. You'd think the team would have learned their lesson after the excessive preseason loving, but obviously they didn't. I'm not saying overconfidence is the reason the packers started 4-4, or lost to AZ, but it certainly seemed to lead to overlooking problems (e.g. coverage schemes 93z referenced in pvs. threads, o-line depth, etc). I'm crossing the fingers that they've learned to stay hungry and come out swinging.

Finleybeast....one of the great lines I have ever witnessed for describing a high powered offense. Damn near shat my pants. Ironic, huh?

From what I have heard from players' comments, they are taking the, "we ain't done shit yet!", mentality about the hype. And some have alluded to learning from last year's pre-season and early season performances.

I have confidence their heads are on right....and believe veterans like Woodson, Driver, Tauscher, Pickett, etc. have much to do with that mindset.

Visanthe Shiancoe on Packers: "Everybody is jumping on their jock"
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 10, 2010 11:10 AM ET
Clearly, Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe has been reading PFT. He noticed that two of our four writers making Super Bowl predictions had the Packers winning it all.

That's why he plans to watch his division rivals on Sunday against the Eagles.

"You've got to watch a team like the Packers -- they're the new Cowboys," Shiancoe sarcastically told Yahoo's Michael Silver after the Vikings loss last night. "Everybody's jumping on their jock, like they've actually gone to the Super Bowl, and won it. Give them credit. They did good in the preseason. I mean, good. Good job. That's good stuff."

Classic. I picked the Packers to win the Super Bowl, but wasn't especially confident in picking them this Sunday against Philadelphia. It sounds like Shiancoe is thinking the same way.

"You know what, Philly's defense is pretty good, too," Shiancoe said. "It always is. We'll see how [the Packers] fare against them."

Think I'm more bothered about the comparison to Dallas. Nobody calls my team the "new Dallas" and gets away with it! Clay - remove Shiancoe's face.

This is great stuff, the packers are obvioulsy in the vike's heads. They lose, and they're more paranoid about the packers than they are their own team.

I can't believe he's acting like a little kid were not the new cowboys lmao didn't a lot of people pick the saints last year??Why does it bother him about the super bowl hype when his QB who everyone know's had more talks than most of the NFL this year.

I even think more analysts pick the cowboys to go to the SB than the packers.

Finley, I think you're a great new poster with lots of say. I'm not going to jump on you for spelling and what not. But the bolded part up there...made me laugh out loud.

Even if not intentional, I happen to think lots of analysts are "annalists" too - especially that damn Paul Allen! :icon_smile:

Not to be a dick, but isn't the correct spelling of "analyst" much closer to the whole 'anal' joke than the misspelling "annalist"?

wpr (18h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
