The Packers will face 4 teams before the regular season starts.

At New England and at Pittsburgh, then at Lambeau against the Eagles and then the Saints.

These are training games that will also evaluate the teams players. As most of the starting players will not see much action, 2nd and 3rd string players will get their best chance to impress. Who will impress, and who will depress us ? What do you expect to see from the opposing teams ? Post your Pre-season predictions here and all will see the reality in a few months.

I also predict that the OL will look very good in preseason and everyone will be nanner-nannering me about my continuing harping on insufficient OL dominance.

Talking about preseason football is the same as talking about how good a hot chick at the club is in bed before you ever speak with her. Until the real action starts, it is just hot air!

The exhibition games are great for fans of football.

The first game blows.
The second seems to be more about immediate depth.
Third has some substance in the first half of a slight indicator of what is going to come.
The fourth is a bunch of no-names fighting their asses off in hopes of landing a spot here or elsewhere.

I say they go 2 - 2

No reason to watch preseason as smokey has already told us all of our rookies are garbage. What will we see? Absolutely no improved players because teams should never need to develop their players. They should be good to go before they are drafted.

Ty Montgomery is going to be on center stage this preseason. I expect him to make Zook look competent and to also get some time at RB.

The Dbacks whould be getting some INTs.

Abbrederis should be showing what he can do. WE'll be finding out the truth about Adrian Coxson. Cand this dude really play? If he's too raw, they'll PS him.

Anxious to see Kennard Backman too. This year's Donald Lee/Tryone DAvis/DJ Williams/Brandon Bostic.

Ryan should be solidifying his spot at ILB.

Then there's the question of 2nd year guys taking their steps forward. Davante Adams and Richard Rodgers come to mind here. Clinton-Dix. You could add in Nick Perry and Datone Jones.

This also includes all those scrubs competing at ILB. Carl Bradford has all the hype, but then there's also Nate Palmer, Joe Thomas, all those guys. Who am I forgetting?

Jayrone Elliott could be the real deal outside.

Then let's talk about the QBs. Aaron needs to stay healthy, but Tolzien gets his shot to prove that he can be "the man" at no. 2. He's got the dedication and work ethic. Mike's QB Guru reputation could be on the line here. Then there's also Hundley. It will be interesting to get a look at him. What can he do? If he really flops, they'll PS him, but I expect him to make the 53.

If Hundley becomes special, Aaron could bring us a huge "Lawrence Welk" type trade in a year or three. But he's got a long way to go to before that. First he's gotta prove he can be a #2.

Can it be preseason already? Love that time of year to watch and find out who is going to come out of nowhere to make a roster. It's also great to be able to watch a game and not be stressed out at all. When the games matter I'm always a nervous wreck, cursing at the TV incessantly. I appreciate the chance to be laid back during games for a change.

Pre-season can also be a time to pick up players in trades, sure up from unpredictable injuries, and and install new plays for the season. It is a time for O and D-linemen to get their timing together. QB's and WR's to get in sink with each other. It the time when the Special Teams to come together. It is the time that the character of the team is formed.

This topic should have been posted on Aug 12th...the OP is asking questions that can only be opinionated. What do pre-season predictions prove? I don't get some of these posts. It might be a tad more interesting if the OP answered her own questions.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
