I really liked the way everyone came out as a show of support for the team during this 1st preseason game. Although there are plenty of fans who are for bringing back Brett or getting rid of TT, I got the feeling that the overwhelming majority of fans wanted to 'prove' that Packer fans are indeed one of the most loyal in all of team sports, to dispel any notion of poor fandom from some of the latest misgivings and disagreements amongst and between Packer fans. It's really nice to see.

But I wasn't at the game so I can't say for certain how fans were acting. But the crowds were cheering pretty loudly for the Packers. I'm sure Rodgers appreciates it.

I was very proud of Packer fans tonight. They really came through in my opinion in a big way.

Acted like [strike]a true[/strike] my opinion of a fan should.. support your team but in the same breath wish Brett well as well.. Relationships break down at time, need a break and then alot of times, repair themselves to a mutual respect again in time.

This whole deal is like no other..

Glad to see Aaron smile during the night.. the loud cheering to start the game was just what the doctor ordered for the young man.. had to feel good after some of the crap he has had to put up with at practices.

It seemed like it was all TRUE fans at the game. Rogers looked like he was enjoying himself. well played game by the green and gold.

For the record, "true" fans are allowed to criticize/complain. But once the ball is kicked off, you cheer for your team no matter who's on the field for you.

From what I heard, that's what we did last night.

it made me proud. there were still signs for Brett, but mostly just we will miss you stuff. which he deserves i think.


the ovation was a cleansing. at least thats what it felt like to me. like a "lets play some football" ovation. Its all about football again and it feels good.

That ovation was outstanding and what I suspected the majority of the attendees would do.

On a side note - did anyone see that awesome shot they used during breaks from the top of the stadium - showing the entire bowl? WOW!

The ovation was a statement to the media, the world and Favre that we as fans have moved on and we love the Pack, even if we may not agree with them. I thought it was a classy end to this entire debacle.

Now, if we can just convince broadcasters to not bring up you-know-who's name. I swear, I wanted to strangle Kornheiser when he put on that Jets jersey.

Did I hear correctly - did Kornheiser say this was his first time at Lambeau??

    Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

    Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

    beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
    beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
    Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
