I'm as excited as anybody with how well Rodgers has played the last two games, but the real test will be against Dallas. He played well against them last year, but they'll be prepared for him this time. I'm confident, though that if he plays his game, we'll do fine.

Plus, all those Favre-knobbers won't be able to diss Rodgers based on the Dallas game, cause Favre only beat them twice in his career.

As someone who couldn't get the game in my area what happened in the 3rd and 4th quarter? I saw the Pack was up huge on the ticker at half time and then Detroit kept inching back into the game. Did the Pack go into Conservative mode and it nearly bit them in the ass, or did the Lion defense step it up?

Conservative mode. Running on 2nd and long with horrible field position.

Thanks man. That drove me nuts in week one as well. Mike McCarthy needs to finish a team when they're down and not let up. He should not run up the score, but he gets conservative way too early in games that we are leading.

Especially when we are stuck behind the 10-15 yard line. Running on 1st down is expected, but you have 2nd and 3rd down to try to get a 1st, so throw the ball. It's happened two weeks in a row, so hopefully Mike McCarthy will change the game plan a bit.

Big deal.

2 Whole Games....wow.

Make room in the HOF. :lol:

It's interesting that the Packers almost lost both of those games against weak opponents with (0-2) records. But go on. It's a party of finger pointing and "I told you so's" around here, I guess.

The big test, however will be when Big D comes to town next week, and oh yeah....there's a little thing called the 16 game season that the "annointed one" has yet to complete. But go ahead, "crown 'em, if you want crown 'em". :thumbleft:

Just don't come cryin' to me if the messiah doesn't fulfill the lofty promises that you are laying at his feet.

I still say that Rodgers is a Tedford System QB that once the rest of the league figures him and the Packer's out, doesn't have the improv skills to win games for you.

He was lucky the Defense stepped up (or rather, the Defense was lucky that they were facing T. Jackson and John Kitna), because there could be 2 Losses rather than wins in the column. And let me tell you, Tony Romo will not make those mistakes to bail the Packers out.

Let me put it this way, if A-Rod was on the Jets, they would 0-2.

Chew on that, Rodger's knob polishers.....

so...if they beat dallas, what are you gonna say? if they are the be-all, end-all determinator in your mind of whether or not rodgers is "for real", i really want to know wtf you're gonna say then. just curious.

I'll say, "it's a long season, let's see how it turns out".

Or maybe I'll say, "It's because of McCarthy's system", like some of the individuals here who didn't want to give Favre an ounce of credit for last year.

"Anyone can do it, like Trent Dilfer, or Brad Johnson".

ok. at what point will you decide that this team is "for real"? is it a super bowl win or nothing for you? just trying to figure out the mind-set, rb. 🙂

i would edit mine now but you edited yours twice while i was writing my reply so f it! i don't know of one person on this site who thinks favre had NOTHING or EVERYTHING to do with any given season he' played with the packers. what we do know is that he's not on the packers anymore, we thank him for the memories & the excitement, & we moved on. just like brett did. oh & don't tell me brett didn't have any choice & then blame US for moving on cuz guess what?? we didn't have any choice either!

    Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
    beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
