GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!

I see this 34 - 24 to the Pack

Will not be in chat tonight as kick off is 1:30AM here in the UK and the game is live on TV.

Will grab a few hours sleep, get up at 1AM for the build up and as soon as the game clock hits zero at the end of the 4th back for more zz's before getting back up again at 7:45 for work. Still it's a Friday though so only 1 day in work to survive.

I just feel we have too many offensive weapons and an excellent D for the Saints to be able to keep up with us if it got to a shootout.

I see most of the Saints scoring being mop up scores late in the game.

The Saints know we have Finley returning so I am convinced they will try to take him out of the game, but because of this it will free up Jennings and Nelson to have a big game. If we can get the passing game going early it should allow Grant and Starks to get good gains in the 2nd half.

12 1/2 hours to go until kick off.

GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My biggest worry is the run defense. I predict that the run D will be tested early and often. I hope that the offense actively tries to get short passes and runs early in order to establish some rhythm and control the clock somewhat. I remember early last year I thought there was too much emphasis on taking deep shots at the expense of moving the ball.

I think this game could seriously come down to turnoffs and how does the GB pass protection hold up against the NO pass rush?

It is distracting to be in chat... your all welcome to a spot on the couch here.. help yourself to a drink and grub, but I make no promises on my behavior, graciousness as a host and outbursts during the game.. lol.

Submersed in the game... just how I am wired.

Easiest way to neutralize a pass rush is to run or screen upon them.. while I don't respect the NO pass rush like other contenders in the NFC.. just the same I would like to see a bit more balanced attack, assisting the line in protection and keeping Rodgers cleaner and really opening up the passing attack even more. It simply would be a unstoppable offensive team if we can, albeit late last season we were close to it sans the balance.

I want to be a dominant football team from start to finish this season.. creating a imposing swagger upon the opposition even before the opening kickoff.. a team that creates doubt in hatching the run/pass defensive philosophy of the opposing coaches game plan for the weekend tilt.

We have the potential to be such a team.. I want to see it realized. [grin1]

The smiley was intended to convey some facetiousness. 😝

I myself often ignore the chat room for long stretches at a time, because it does get distracting. It is often ahead of the feed, even when I am watching it on live TV, and that can spoil some of the most exciting plays. Plus I like to hang out with the other fans watching the game at the bar.

I have always just found the explanation "because it's on live TV" to be odd, that's all. There seems to me to be plenty of better reasons not to be there. [down]

Yeah I try to go to the Chat Room. I am too old. (Thus my avatar.) It gives me a headache sometimes and I get distracted and miss too much of the game. I have used it during breaks like halftime.

I am not being anti social.. the game is one of the few times I demand it be my down time.. unplugged so to speak. That an dart night in the falls. [grin1]

We'll be in the chat room. Or why did I say "we?" I'll be in the chat room. Mrs. Z will be making me drinks. Unfortunately, there will be no topless women tonight. Dammit!

Well, at least I get to see the Packers beat the Saints.

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
