How would/will you react to a loss tonight?

I don't think I would be as analytical as I can be at times because our pre-season performances cornered me into expectation, probably disheartened to the point where I do not hope, but just accept for the remainder of the season.

I predicted in the range of 10-6 for this season about two months ago, which has now crept up to 12-4. Usually pre-season would never be a beacon for me to play up chances but our performance unequivocally left me with high hopes.

The Aaron Rodgers wave - I have ridden and am ready to hop on, I desperately want him to fulfill my passing, perhaps dreamers' thoughts that he will be top three calibre by the end of the season.'

The 3-4 - I was not completely convinced, despite the pre-season that the transition is complete - I expect mistakes throughout the season though our potential should be plain to see.

Jermichael Finley - Bold proclomation "This guy will be a top three calibre tight end or a solid reciever" during draft time, he better prove me right..

So, how will yall react? Or is that pre-emptive

I never start watching a game thinking "we've practically won it already". I'll be dissapointed sure, but I'll also be happy if the Packers win, not just "this went exactly as I thought it would".

This is a placeholder

I will do the same thing I have always done in the event of a loss of this nature.

Raise hell and go into a major funk for about 24 hours, begin the rationalization process, work my way back to unrealistic expectations by kickoff of week 2, with one more week's worth of wisdom stored for current and future reference.

Cool, I guess you learn that after years of unpredictability (Cue, Pats Giants) - I actually selfishly wish right now that we had a completely indecisive pre-season as I get optimistic easy.

What time is it in Finland right now? You know, I have always wanted to try Finnish pickled Shark - the one that smells and tastes of ammonia.

LOL - I have a day booked off work tomorrow specifically for emergency rage-stop.

I have been talking nothing but Packers at unsuspecting females at work, who now follow the Pack with a very tentative "go...team?" knowledge of the game.

They'll know if I don't check in tomorrow that I am pissed off and drunk beyond a day's repair

I'll do what I do after a loss. Like dfoster, I'll be in a funk for 24 hours or so. Making sure not to read or watch anything football related, for fear of reading/hearing how horrible we are, and the season is doomed. As opposed to a win where I watch/read everything possible, wanting to here how we're the best thing since sliced bread. Then after the 24 hour "mourning" period, I get amped and ready to go for week two.

Minus my rituals, it IS only week one, and a loss does not doom our season, and a win does not make us the Super Bowl favorites.

Big game, divisional game right out of the gate, will be dissapointing if The Pack does not win tonight, but not the end of the season.

16 weeks in a regular season, they all count the same, with the exception of the divisional games, which to count a little more.

Let's hope The Packers get off to a great start tonight, a win over da bears could propell them to a 5-0, 4-1 start.

GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!! May 2009 be their and our year to have a greaT season.

Remember, YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!!!

NOBODY SUCKS ON THIS TEAM, EVERY MAN OUT THERE IS DOING HIS ABSOLUTE BEST TO ACHIEVE VICTORY!!!!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

With our early season schedule, a 4-0/5-1 type start is very achievable - SEE, OPTIMISM AGAIN.

My same normal display of self control response. Simply search the house, for the nearest corner, walk towards it, fall to my knees, curl up in the fetal position and cry until the next game. That's about it.
