What Packer fans are saying.

just to note, most of Green's yardage was in garbage time out of the shotgun, Chicago had many subs in too. First half he was 10 for 39yds.

The line is that the Pack is a home dog. This is going to be one tough game because that insult is going to motivate them. Of course, undirected passion usually burns itself out within a quarter or two, resulting in a deflated and exhausted opponent.

Stay cool and build to win.

But like someone said, we have two young safeties, and if anyone can exploit that, it may be Favre. We SHOULD win, but I am not basing that on how we played against freaking Cleveland. How many times did we settle for FGs in the red zone? No, I think we will win cause I flat out believe top to bottom we are simply better than Green Bay. From coaching on down to kicker. Yup, even Carney. But when I hear people talk about what we did against Cleveland, I just think damn, are we that desperate? It was Cleveland. The road only gets tougher from here.

Agreed. Green averaged 5.5 a carry (20-110) against the Bears defense. That's solid. I think we'll win this game for all the reasons you mentioned, but we just beat Cleveland, not the Steelers. If we go 2-0 to start, the Falcons will be the real test.

Seems like EVERY week will be the real test!!!
