RiverFish Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thats what I told her, "You got an extra $1,000 laying around. (we would need 4 seats.) We'll just tailgate at home and watch on tv, just a slightly cheaper night. The kids loved the jet flying over after the National Anthem. Go Pack!

LMITOUT Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 They said in the pregame that the Packers have won 13 world championships. That is a lot. How many have the Vikings won? 6? 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Foss Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I wonder if the defenses are going to settle down and play ball in the second half. My heart hasn't stopped racing yet! GO PACK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITOUT Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Claymaker with a crushing, blindside hit to end the game. The Packers are fortunate they have an offense because their secondary is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepworm Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Same could be said about NO. Either we were looking at 2 terrible secondaries or 2 rediculous pass offenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Packers are fortunate they have an offense because their secondary is horrible. They beat an excellent passing offense. I'll take that to start the season. Plenty of work to be done moving forward, for sure. Meanwhile, uh, REALITY CHECK! I think 1-0 beats hell out of 0-1.

JosMN Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What a game, hope Tramon's injury isnt anything serious? Regardless, if the Pack stay healthy I really dont see anybody stopping their offense. The secondary will come around - they were going against one of the best QB's in the game. [PoorWordUsage] call on Hawk at the end,but followed by a sweet goaline stop by everybody. If they would have played the Vikings tonight, they score 60....EASY. haha 1-0!! GO PACK!

snoozebutton Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Great game but I'd rather see the Packers just put them away and not have to come down to the last second. Phew!!! I've been searching for news on Tramon but haven't found much yet, I'm sure we'll hear more later today. The only thing I did find was this: Quote: Packers' Tramon Williams in post-game painSeptember, 9, 2011 Sep 912:53AM ETEmailPrintComments32By Kevin Seifert GREEN BAY, Wis. -- I just returned from the Green Bay Packers locker room to see that many of you are looking for an update on cornerback Tramon Williams, who departed the game late in the fourth quarter with a right shoulder injury. WilliamsCoach Mike McCarthy didn't have much new information on the injury, and Williams said that the team's medical staff didn't give him a final diagnosis. But it's worth noting that Williams was walking in the locker room in the same pose he left the field in: Slowly, gingerly and with his left hand holding his right arm in place. There's no sense speculating on what type of injury Williams has and how serious it might be. All we can say is that he was in significant pain when he left the field and that pain hadn't subsided by the time he got to the locker room. As always, stay tuned. I thought Jarrid Bush did okay filling in inspite of the fact he's been kind of a whipping boy by some fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paceman Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Really good game to open the season. The pack looked great and will not lose very many games this year. The Saints looked tough as well. Sproles had a great game to keep the saints in it but the Packs Defense was just better. It would be fun to see these guys meet again in the playoffs. On a side note kicking off from the 35 is just stupid. Gonna be very few run backs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterman91105 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Have to say i'm a vikings fan, but the packers sure do look good. Last night they played very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Both D's looked very sluggish to me, but of course both of those offenses will do that to them. Good win, and they very well could meet in the playoffs. Fun game to watch!! How about Cobb's 100+ TD return!!!!! All the receivers looked good, except we didn't see much from James Jones. Grant looked pretty average, Starks definitely looked like the better back. Not sure why they aren't letting Alex Green be the 3rd down back, must not have the blitz pickup down yet. A little concerned about the pass rush, just didn't seem to put a lot of pressure on Brees unless they blitzed. Did Mike Neal play? He's suppose to be the pass rush DE replacement for Jenkins.

Nick Kuhn Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I knew the defense would be pretty poor in this game for both teams, I just didn't think it would be THAT bad (I had the Pack winning 31-24 on the board at work). I was a little surprised by the last play by the Saints. As bad as they made the Packers look on the previous touchdown, I thought for sure they would have had another misdirection play called up for that situation.

mrklean Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 its a W and im happy with that, there 2 min defense was horrible and i thought that call on Hawk was a close one contact yes, but he pretty much jumped over him. Dom will get them dialed in just a warm up game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJH Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 FYI ~ Tramon Williams has bruised shoulder 3:14 PM, Sep. 09, 2011 Written by Mike Vandermause Packers coach Mike McCarthy said cornerback Tramon Williams has a shoulder bruise, which he termed a positive medical development. Williams injured his shoulder after colliding with teammate Nick Collins during Thursday night’s game against New Orleans. McCarthy wouldn’t say for sure, but seemed to indicate that Williams’ injury won’t keep him out for an extended period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleFloyd Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 They looked pretty potent on offense. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go undefeated and set both the single season points total and the single season passing yards/TD's records this year.

Dark Cloud Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I know it is real easy to be an Armchair coach/qb... but... I was on the couch with a bowl of cereal for the last play and nearly choked before they snapped the ball - I thought to myself, they are going to run and the Pack, er um... the whole free world knows it...
