look at it 

You know the drill by now. It's time to recap some winners and losers from Week 3 of the preseason. While the games don't count, the perceptions sure do.....

WINNER -- If there's one NFL team that's thrilled to see September finally arrive, it's the Green Bay Packers, who are finally almost in position to stop wasting such dominating performances on the preseason.

They don't hand out shiny trophies for exhibition games, but if they did, the biggest one would be going to the 3-0 Packers, who were the closest thing in the league to a juggernaut in August.

The perfect record, of course, isn't the important part. The stuff that makes you sit up and take notice is the 38-10 halftime lead at NFC defending champion Arizona on Friday night, when both teams were playing their first-team units, the NFL-best 151.1 passer rating of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the whopping plus-10 turnover ratio (also the league's best) compiled by Green Bay's new-look 3-4 defense.

And did we mention that in 12 drives of work, the Packers first-team offense has produced nine touchdowns, one field goal and nary a punt? On defense, Green Bay's first unit has played 12 series and surrendered only 10 points and 15 first downs.

To say that it's all clicking for Green Bay right now is the understatement of the young season, but the best news is the Packers have a great shot to keep their mojo rolling in the first two months of the regular season. In fact, I predict Green Bay will be no worse than 5-1 when November arrives, with a favorable early schedule that starts with back-to-back home games against Chicago and Cincinnati, and is followed by at St. Louis, at Minnesota, a fifth-week bye, then Detroit and at Cleveland.

All the hype in the NFC North so far this year has been centered on the high-profile quarterback changes in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota. But that's about to change. Green Bay is clearly the team to beat in the division, and the Packers are about to force us to pay attention.

So much for flying under the radar and taking teams by surprise!!!
:icon_smile: :icon_smile:

Well the secret is out, but I have a feeling The Packers have a lot more to show when the games become important.

I just hope MM lets this offense fire away the whole game and doesn't go into his "safety shell" attack if they have a big lead.

Kapers is a proven D-co-ordinator, who has been successful in turning around defenses very quickly, let''s hope it is the same this year in Green Bay(looks to be so far).

I would love to see The Packers explode out of the gate and make an early statement, but any type of win will do.

5-1 does not seem out of the relm of possibility, just remember, there ar 16 weeks in a regular season, so if the unthinkable happens and The Packers get off to a slow start, there will be time to get the ship righted.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Media hacks are pathological bandwagon jumpers. The moment the Packers have a mediocre performance or suffer a loss, they'll be predicting doom and gloom with the same alacrity they now proclaim them a juggernaut.

LOL! My thoughts exactly. I cannot WAIT! Damn its exciting.

That number "38-10 at half" versus AZ is the most exciting one. Yes, it's preseason and they may not have game planned much for us. Yes we're showing a lot of our defense early on... but come on 38-10!? If we beat anyone by a margin even approaching that in the first 5 games of the season I'll poop inside my pants.
