Packers' trivia...

who has record of most points,in a season,without a touchdown,in Green Bay Packers' history?

commentary...

it will be an interesting season of the NFL---many pundits think the Packers have the team to challenge the Saints for NFC berth in Super Bowl,but the facts may not pan out that fact... i hope and wish that fact happens,but too many things have to go the Packers' way,like a stronger defense against the pass,and the run,and some teams have to have some bad years,like Minnesota,Dallas,or even New Orleans,but i will tell you that they are a very good playoff team... so bring it on,NFL...

Packers look great on offense,and look ready for opening week... defense needs to work on defensive backfield,with two major starters out until maybe until opening week,or after that,we do have depth,but not experience,but playing games helps... special teams did help last night,in a big way,but has been shaky all preseason,but last night has to improve confidence...

commentary...

the Packers are simply a playoff team talent-wise... but division champion,maybe,but if Brett Favre comes back to Minnesota,and back from an ankle surgery,which was minor,in scope,but for a 40+year old professional quarterback,it is career-threatening,but again,we are talking about Brett Favre,who has not missed a start,in nearly 18 years,and would pass 300 consecutive regular season starts,if he plays this season,and i expect he will play this season... there is nothing that tells me that he is going to retire,and since he is checking with Dr. James Andrews,one of the best doctors in the world about his ankle... he will be making his decision this,or next week,and i would be very stunned,if he makes his decision to retire permanent,because he is a tough person,and a prima donna,and he wants to play football,period...

the Packers retired the late,and great,Reggie White's number(number 92),on September 18,2005...

commentary...

if Packers have weaknesses in their team,it is in their offensive line,and in their defensive backfield... you can not allow enough sacks of a quarterback,to fill a grocery store,and both cornerbacks,and/or safeties are hurting,and with a major lack of experience in defensive tackle,early on,it may be rocky,but Al Harris(one of the best in NFL)says he will be back for opening game of 2010 season,and Atari Bigby,will be back before then,and with the suspension of Johnny Jolly(mentioned before in blog),for at least the 2010 season,the Packers are hurting on defense... i hope Bryan Bulaga(1st round pick,2010)plays up to potential,and Mark Tauscher plays the whole season,like he did the last half of 2009... he is injury-prone...
