Give it up for the line indeed, including TJ Lang.

Besides the fact he had two false starts, he has some power to him. Perhaps Best thing about him though: when Lang gets beat, he is still able to recover somewhat and buy you a bit of time. I do not think I could say the same about Colledge.

The good is the Packers won the game. The bad is the defense was awful. This felt like Arizona again. The great is GB doesn't play New Orleans until maybe in the postseason.

I think the defense could use a few more tackling drills. I'm guessing this is going to be a common theme the first month because of the new CBA.

I'm not going to worry until October. If our D looks like this in October, then it's time to [aiee]

I don't think the CBA caused the Packers to miss tackles, lol. 🙂 Unless their wallets are too heavy, in that case, why they playing with their wallets in their pockets???

Tackling was awful, I don't think the defense was. The Saints are kind of a good offense. The offense in the 3rd did them no favors with the short drives and three an out. They are athletes, but still human after all.

The Saints were bad too. The Zombie Slayer is right. October is when it's time to worry.

It was the first game of the season with a severely shortened pre-season.

How many times was it mentioned during the game that the packers players hadn't got together to practice unlike New Orleans???

It was mentioned at the beginning of this thread and the commentators overplayed it a tad too much.

My overall ipmpression was we did just enough to win against an excellent team who will definately be in the playoffs with us.

We gave up a lot of yards but so did they.

I reckon Saints fans will be trying to disect their teams poor defensive performance as well. So it's swings and roundabouts.

As has been said if we are still giving up massive amounts on defense in October then it will be time to worry.

Re: Tackling.

It looked to me as if all the D did in the offseason was watch Woodson tape and think "Oh, well...if you knock the ball out you get a fumble and don't need to tackle. I can do that!" Fucking bush-league.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Gotcha now. I don't know, I've thought tackling in the NFL has been awful for several years, especially early in the season. They had four preseason games to tackle, actually they combined probably played one full game, but it's tackling. You can either do it, or you have to learn to do it. The fundamentals of it stay the same.

Unfortunately, even with the old CBA rules, tackling was awful. Will this new 'no tackle' rule or what not make it worse? I'm not sure how much worse it could get for professionals being paid millions.

The offensive line absolutely dominated. It was beautiful.

If this team can coach Sherrod up to relevance, the Packers might feature a solid running game for the first time in years. Can you imagine what this team would look like with its current receiving corps coupled with a running game defensive coordinators actually had to scheme against?[aiee]

wpr (13h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (13h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (14h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Martha Careful (14h) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (14h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (14h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
