We have really nothing to compare to, but I think the Saint\'s run D will be improved, Favre will pass for more than Pennington did, but still not score a TD and Brook\'s will get his first TD pass of the year. I think it will be close, 20 to 10 Saint\'s of course.

What do I expect. Realistically? Hmmmmmmm....


I expect to see:

1. The good: I expect to see the run defense play a respectable game. The Packers have one of the best runningbacks in the game. We won\'t shut Ahman Green down completely. Just like they won\'t shut Deuce down completely. I\'d like to see us allow no more than 3.5 yards per carry.

2. The bad: We\'re going to give up some plays. We\'re going to miss a few tackles. Might even commit a few penalties...

3. The ugly: Hey, we might even give up a big play in the passing game. Favre is certainly capable. Even against the best defenses. Wouldn\'t shock me one bit.

Overall: I just want to see some improvement stopping the run by the starters. And see the secondary take away the underneath routes. Oh, yeah, I\'d like to see us run an effective screen pass and stop a couple too.

B&B, your optimism springs eternal.

As far as this game goes, it has the benefit of featuring another great RB for our D to get used to stopping, if they can. Had Ricky not retired all four games would have been like that. The more practice the better, I say.

I\'m also interested in seeing how Brooks does in his first real action.

Pack: 24
Saints: 17

I see much of the same we saw in the Jets game.
The D-line improving, but still needing work in Pease\'s system
The offense looking out of rhythm, but still flash signs of explosiveness.
The DB\'s making good and bad plays

Hmmm. pretty much some positives and negatives from each unit.

What I hope to see...
James Allen diagnosing the bounce outside better.
The interior holding their gaps longer.
Watson continuing to learn and stay healthy.
Melvin Williams or Tony Bryant turning some heads.
Nathan Black, Bockwoldt, Craft, Harper, Leisle, Mitchel, Hilton, Stinchcomb, Mike Karney and Henderson get meaningful PT against GB\'s 1st or 2nd units.

I also want to see more of Ronney Jenkins and Tavian Banks as a RB as well as a ST\'er. I think one may become our next Fred McAfee.

What I\'ll probably see on these boards Monday...
Every bad play (unless its by Deuce) will be shoved down everyones throat by some as a tell-all sign that this team is absolutely pathetic, and you are an idiot \"??pole-polisher??\" if you see it otherwise.

Anyone posting something positive will be immediately discredited as a flaming sunshiner.

Ahh, I love this place :D

Danno - you said it perfectly... except you missed on part.

Certain persons will continue to post positives from the game as relevant but suggest the negatives are absolutely meaningless b/c it\'s preseason and preseason doesn\'t count. :)


One thing - I don\'t care what the score is. I want our 1st teams to play better all around. Greater continuity, greater execution. GB is a good team and a good test IMO.

They have two backs who will destroy a team thats weak up the gut. It will be a good barometer to see how far our DT\'s ha\'ve progressed in Pease\'s system.

I also hope Hawthorn looks like the 2nd coming of Champ Bailey.

The Seahawks ate GB for dinner, and we play the \'hawks season opener. I would hope we also chow down on the Packers - to give an indication that we can play at the same level as the Seahawks.

I don\'t see Couch bounce-passing all his passes again.
They were embarrassed. I\'m betting we see a fired up GB squad. Its going to ba a good test.

What I expect?

1.The Saints receivers to have thier way with Hawthorne he looked improved, but he still stinks.
2. AB to have a good quarter
3.Run Defense to struggle; because it suks. Its not the talent its the D Coordinator.
4. Return game to bring one back. Lewis or henderson
5.O-line to dominate Gb D-line.
6.Close game ...lets note the score after the first teamers call it a night

Green Bay 30- Saints 20

Danno is right. Green shouldn\'t see too many touches, I would think, but we all know that he can beat us on the outside and the inside.
Watching Davenport run over our D-Line is going to hurt, dude is friggin huge.

This is my first time posting something. I don\'t know what took me so long but I\'ve bee reading for awhile now.

I don\'t think the d-line is as much of a problem as the liunebackers. They looked pitiful against the Jets. Yeah I know they are young, but after listening to all the hype about them I was expecting a halfway decent performance. Instead all I saw just like last year was missed tackle after missed tackle.
The d-line unlike the linebackers does have some impressive players. Will Smith thouroughly impressed me. He will definitely become the best player on the d-line if he is not already. On the other hand fat Lonathan Sullivan seemed as unimpressive as ever. I saw him get destroyed over and over by the Jets o-line. He only began making plays once the Jets started putting their reserves in. He is not good enough to play against legitimate NFL talent. Thank god some of the other players Sullivan should be starting over (Leslie, Green, Smith) look like they can fill in.

I don\'t think they will run up the middle on us, the Jet\'s did\'nt do it and I\'m not saying they are a better running team than the Packers, but not far behind. The Jet\'s did they damage outside and I think we will make the adjustments necessary this week to stop that too.

Just put Bockwoldt a linebacker by himself, behind Grant, Howard, Yound and Sully and 6 DB\'s. Bockwoldt is a BEAST, he will eat them up.
