I have no problem with optimism; I just find reporters' lack of conviction or backbone annoying. They're so shortsighted. They simply go along with whatever their most recent impression is, without giving much stock to long-term trends. I personally don't think the Packers are quite as good as some of those writers think, and I certainly don't think they're as bad as Kirwan thinks.

Oh, and don't forget...the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason last year. :microwave:

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.

I could see Green Bay losing to Chicago in week one and still coming away with a successful season and maybe even better than the Bears. Of course if they do lose, Packer fans will have to read all the preseason means nothing comments from the media. It's always a what have you done lately type of attitude with people.

We will not lose to the Bears. They don't have the pass defense to stay with our guys. Won't happen. Rodgers will light those guys up.

No replacement of quality for Brown, no safeties, and marginal cover CB's.

I sense another " these guys don't belong on the same field as us" statement made.

I think we are going to seriously kick their tails.

Don Banks is obsessed with the Packers. Check out today's article predicting each division:

NFC North

First place: Green Bay (12-4) -- I've got a feeling about these Packers, especially when I survey the rest of a wide-open NFC field and try to divine if there's an out-of-nowhere team with a legitimate shot to represent the conference in Miami next February. Green Bay is my NFC Super Bowl pick, and last year's dismal 6-10 finish is but a memory now that Aaron Rodgers looks like a man playing possessed and the Packers' new-look 3-4 defense appears ready to work as planned from day one.

You beat me to posting that. :icon_smile: It is exciting to read all these positive predictions, but I'm trying not to get too big headed about it. I want to see our defense kick ass in real games first. I do agree with warhawk though and feel we will handily beat the Bears. I can't believe Peter King picked them to win the NFC out of all teams in the conference.

Don Banks moved to Wisconsin earlier this year, and now he's predicting the Packers to go to the Super Bowl. Coincidence?

OMFGCONSPARASEE!!!

no really though. i'm excited as hell for this first game and i'm glad it's against a (supposedly) good team and an old classic rivalry game at that. i think if we dominate this Bears game, people will finally stfu about their "it's just preseason" attitude and just silently watch as the Pack shows up the world. at least, i fecking hope. two reasons why i fecking hope:

1) i want the Pack to go all the way, duh.

2) i'm meeting my gf's family for the first time next sunday and don't want to be jumping, shouting and cursing at the tv. bad first impression. i've already given the gf permission to slap me or throw water in my face in such a scenario.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I have 3 things to say:

#1 I want the pack to crush the bears
#2 yes I want the pack at the big game
#3 I would rather not so many peeps get all hyper about the pack cuz the bookies odds wont jump as much then.

So lets win alot of games and then kind of sneak into the superbowl and take the prize home 😉

Mucky Tundra (3h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (6h) : HUMP DAY

beast (6h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (6h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (6h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (6h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (6h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (6h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (7h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (8h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (9h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (9h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (22h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
