commentary...

pundits are hyping the San Francisco 49ers' coaching staff,including head coach Jim Harbaugh,saying that they are the best coaching staff in the NFL,and they may be,but question one:have they won a Super Bowl ring? answer is no... question two:do they have the best overall roster of players in the NFC West? answer is:simply,i do not think so... question three:are they hyping them way too high? answer is:simply,yes... i,in no way,am denigrating them,but there are weaknesses in their defensive backfield,right at this moment,and the quarterback that is Colin Kaepernick will be solved sometime this season,because they will be beaten by someone,this season... i am getting tired of hearing about the 49ers being the NFL's super team... if they were,they would have beaten the Baltimore Ravens,last season,in Super Bowl XLVII... they are a very good team,and i do not deny that,at all,but folks there is only so much hype that i can stomach... just play the season,and if the 49ers are the best team,i will tip my hat,and applaud,but it is time for the team to put up,or shut up,period... to the pundits,shut up,PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

commentary...

now that the preseason is over,tomorrow,i will start to prepare my critique of the Packers/49ers game,opening week,after both teams cut down to 53 players,and i will know how both teams will be against each other-roster-wise,and then i will give you a better idea of how both teams will play in the game,and throughout the season... the preseason does not count,but you do not get a fair idea of both teams,i do admit,because a 30-8 shellacking by the Kansas City Chiefs,in the preseason,does not count as much as a win,against anybody on the Packers' regular season schedule,including the 49ers,opening week... you can gloat about the 1-3 preseason record that the Packers had,but let me remind you that the 2008 Detroit Lions had a perfect preseason record of 4-0,but was 0-16 in the regular season(the only team ever to do that dubious deed)... the Packers played very few starters(first string)in the preseason,or got just enough reps to prepare for the regular season,so,for example,Aaron Rodgers,i believe,did not throw a touchdown pass in the preseason,because the fact that the preseason was meant,basically,to find a suitable backup quarterback for the team(my opinion)... we will see what team will show up,against the 49ers,opening week...

a day at Lambeau Field...

it is a very nice day in Green Bay... i wish i was there just sitting in the bowl of Lambeau Field,dreaming of the Packers playing in front of me... i may be a shareholder/owner,but not a season ticket holder... too bad!!!!! that does suck not being a season ticket holder,even in the nosebleed seats... only wishing,and dreaming,folks... i love the Packers and to own,and root for them is still a dream...

commentary...

two of the Green Bay Packers on the physically unable to perform list(linebacker Jerel Worthy,and Derek Sherrod),are very good players... both can not be activated until week seven... Worthy is recovering from a knee injury,and Sherrod is recovering from a severe double compound fractured leg suffered in his rookie year,against the Detroit Lions,in week seventeen(same game in which former Packers',and current Oakland Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn threw for six touchdowns)... Worthy should be back later on this season,but Sherrod has suffered setbacks in his recovery,so who knows...

commentary...

i honestly can not wait for the 2013-2014 NFL season to start,because it has been a very long off-season,and i will root for the Packers,of course... pundits have a range of a 9-7,second place in NFL North(behind Chicago)to a division winning,12-4 season... to the pundits,i say,bring it on!!!!!!! i am just rooting for the Packers to have a very good season,and with the sixth toughest schedule,in the NFL,this season,it will be a real dogfight,this season...
