It will be a good test of our new defense. I expect it to be significantly improved.

It's also early in the season, so we won't be as depleted from injuries as we were in the playoffs last year.

This is the game in which we will find out if Mike Neal at OLB is the real thing.

Just because he didn't throw a TD in a very limited sample size, in preseason where wins/losses don't matter, without all of the starting cast surrounding him, doesn't indicate to me that he will suddenly plummet from the level of performance of years past.

Lots of people are so fond of declaring that preseason games don't mean anything, bla bla bla, etc. etc, but then turn around and attach so much importance to details.

I was watching a segment on FoxSports1 where the two goons talking predicted the Pack would take 3rd in the NFC North. One of the reasons stated was that Rodgers hadn't played enough in preseason.
