For some reason I think the first half of this game will reveal more than the rest of preseason what the Packers might do.

I really want to see how the OL holds up against Colts starters. For obvious "dead horse" reasons.

I really want to see how the LBs and non-Woodson DBs hold up against Manning and his receivers. Probably because I remember a few years ago when I thought the Packers were going to be better...and Manning completely shredded them. By no means is this Packer team as bad on pass D as that one was, but I can't help thinking they aren't as good as I had thought they were going to be either.

How about you?

Not going to be able to watch the game due to work :(

I'd like to see how Morgan Burnett does, considering he's almost guaranteed to start with Bigby's ankle injury.

We crushed Manning 2 years ago in Lambeau 😛 just wanted to correct that hahaha.

I will be watching our secondary close, I know I should be watching Rodgers for my Report but he is in mid season form right now and we are set for another 4-5 years at qb
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Manning didn't shred us at all. IIRC we returned two INTs for TDs, and one of them was by Rouse, yeah Aaron Rouse. That's hardly shredding a defense.

That said, I want to see the offense go business as usual, and I want to see good pass rush, and a bend but don't break pass defense. Yeah, I want to see a perfect team pretty much.

I'm not sure who all will be playing on the defensive side of the ball with the nagging injuries. We haven't had the front line LB's in there yet and now Jenkins is limping.

The 3rd game is generally where the coaches play it for real to get a gauge on where they are at but it may be hard to take away much from this if 4 or five startes on defense don't get on the field.

McCarthy is pretty conservative with putting players on the field this time of year when they have minor injuries and rightfully so. It's a shame if Barnett, Hawk, Mathews, and Jenkins all sit because this would have been a great game to see what the first unit could do against a good QB.

I would like to see our 1st team run a little better tonight. I think against a "smaller" defensive line such as the Colts this can be done.

- Aaron Rodgers almost perfect again in the time he gets.
- We all know who our starting TE is so I'd like to see a battle between the 4-5 TE, assuming we are going to keep 4 TE's.
- Would like to see Shields have a top performance on defense and special teams.
- Crosby perfect on the night.

EDIT

And of course I will be looking for ZOMBO!
