It depends.

Randy Moss and Charles Woodson are Hall of Fame players. So is Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

"Are" should be "will be." And yes, you are correct. Announcers should be saying "will be" and not "are." I shouldn't have made the same mistake.

I don't think the Packers defense sucked as much as they were playing against one of the best defenses in the NFL. I bet if this game is played in the post season, Saints don't score more than 24.

I don't see a problem with being blunt about it. The Packers' defense sucked. So did the Saints' defense. One of the things I lamented about the lockout was that it virtually guaranteed 4-6 weeks of defensive suckage this season. It doesn't surprise me at all that the offenses marched virtually unimpeded up and down the field -- it was to be expected. It would not be shocking if the average score of September and early October games this season is higher than that of games later in the season.

The Packers tackling sucked, the defense did not suck. There happens to be an offense on the field as well and they deserve credit. Dismissing the Saints offense is a foolish mistake. They are a very good offense, one of the BEST in the NFL.

I mean foolish in a cute positive way, like a silly foolish kitty cat.

To me, poor tackling equates to defensive suckage. So does playing so soft that there is at least one receiver wide open in the flat on almost every play.

What can I say? I am a sucker for good tackling, by which I do NOT mean "bone-jarring hits."

There is nothing wrong with criticism.. nothing at all.

Putting the issue in context, taking into account the action of the opposition and providing some discussion points and specifics can't be considered unfair either.

IMO.. there is a difference to playing poorly to getting beat by the opposition. I don't think the Packers defense overall played exceptional.. but I also believe the opposition and their direct actions via scheme and execution played more into the results than poor play.

This is probably more a pet peeve on my part than anything... seems to be the easy way to go. Throw on a quick and dirty label.. "they sucked".

But I have expressed my objections to the defense. The tackling was abysmal and they played way off the receivers, leaving the flat wide open on almost every play. In my opinion, that is a recipe for poor defensive play. They won in the end, which is the important thing; I am just concerned about a possible trend. You don't want to always have to score tons of points to win games. As I said before, though, I expected most defenses to perform poorly the first month or so. They will probably get it cleaned up, particularly if they can get Mike Neal back healthy.

2) Ds for the first 3 or 4 weeks this year will be ugly because of the contract disputes. It's easier to run an O than a D.

We might see a lot of high scoring games in the NFL for the first month. If you're not scoring 110 points in fantasy, you're gonna lose. That's just how it will be for the first month. It will be ugly, and it won't be just us. It will be everyone.

Personally, I think it's all just so much overanalysis, and the game will be played pretty much the same as it always has. Did anybody notice a difference in the style of play during the preseason? I sure didn't.

Is it really that surprising that the teams with arguably the two best offenses in the league played a high scoring game?

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
