Another thing is Rodgers wasnt taking any shots at the Saints. It was directed toward the media after our opening day game about the offseason workouts. I promise you guys that. Hope there are no hard feelings about this topic between the two teams. If we play in the playoffs I know we will both hate each other come game time. I know that will be a great game if we play. I can just feel Lambeau in January against the High powered Saints offense. Don't you guys just get fired up thinking about it?

I don't even think we gave it a second thought, most knew what he was talking about,,,err I hope. I now there were some threads but they didn't last long.

Saints fans are kind of unusual in the NFL Arod. Most teams fans love coming to the Dome to play. We really don't hate anyone. We make fun of cantlana because their fans are like philly fans, they are just mindless idiots, remember they egged your bus when you played them.
We get pissed when we not treated well, like in Chicago 2006, or some say seahawks game. Otherwise New Orleans is just a huge football town. Most of us want to play the best. We wanted the Colts in the SB.
..and most of us want to play the Pack again, because we had Moore,Smith, and Tracey Porter out for that opener, and Rodgers passed against our rookie robinson all day.
I think it would be the game of the year if we can pull off #2 seed and play a NFC Championship in Lambeau. I just hope the weather doesn't get in the way, otherwise we will never know who is better. We love football not snow.

But I'm still on the fence of wether I want a complete blizzard , because I think that might give us an advantage, because of our OL and RB's, and limits the long plays. Im just not sure the Pack can run against us in that kind of situation,,,,so they will be forced to short pass down the field....
..or clear non windy weather.
I guess god will decide the situation, lol, our boys just need to be ready to play in any environment. I think we all know the Pack will be ready for it. We only worry about the constant whining of bad fans, like the Vikequeens ,failclowns, Phallus CowToys and Dream Team, because their fans are even worse if they win.
I didn't hear any bad things about Lambeau in our 1st game. Just make sure your fans know we are their to have fun and watch a football game, some of us with families, so act like sportsmen.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.

funny you would mention that, and I'm glad you cleared it up. I noticed the comments, and thought Rogers was being a real smartazz. In context, it makes more sense now.

I've always liked the Packers, and especially their fans. Weather and roof/lack of roof aside, we're actually VERY similiar, probably the most similiar of any 2 teams:

1. We're two of the smallest markets in the NFL. In other leagues, our teams would already have abandoned us. Fortunately, the NFL has a good structure.

2. In both cases the FANBASE far exceeds the "market." You cant get fill a stadium in Los Angeles, but we're both sold out, and have waiting lists in the 10's of thousands.

You have people driving in from all over up there to go to Packers games. We have fans all over the Gulf Coast, and this was before the Saints ever won a damn thing. You see 4 times as much Saints stuff in Houston as you do Texans. And the entire state of Mississippi is "black and gold."

I remember when the Packers were weak, their fans still packed Lambeau. You guys had some lean years in the 70's and early 80s.

3. I guarantee your fans and our fans are #1 and #2 and lead the league in STUFF. You've got cheeseheads and cheese bras, we have Fleur de Lis everything you can imagine. Im sure you have one room in your house dedicated solely to your Packers stuff. We all have one too. I also have
enough Saints apparel to wear something different every day, and my truck
looks like a rolling pep rally.

4. Nobody wants to play in our house.

Great teams, great fans, big fun, and I think everyone would like to see a Saints/Packers NFC Championship.

Hmmmmmmmm ... what the heck is a cheese bra? I am afraid to visualize this ...
