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.

Martha Careful (19h) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback
wpr (20h) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.
Mucky Tundra (21h) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope
Zero2Cool (22h) : Time taken to get picked:
Zero2Cool (22h) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days
Zero2Cool (23h) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
Mucky Tundra (23h) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer
beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏
Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.
Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!
Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO
dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.
dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit
