This from Peter King this morning:

Regarding the Packers, their first unit has had 12 possessions this summer and hasn’t punted. Sixty-six points in 12 possessions … just sick. And the starting defense has forced six turnovers in 12 opposing possessions.

“Three games, no punts, 31 points in this game,” said Aaron Rodgers, who’s looking more like Brett Favre than Favre. “The line was great [Friday against Arizona]. I barely got touched. It was just pitch and catch out there.”

What makes Mike McCarthy happy is that a year after L’Affair Favre, Rodgers seems to have the team in his hands. “It’s clearly Aaron’s team,” McCarthy said Sunday

Welll Guys-I got to watch the first half of the game last night & I’m not as warm & fuzzy as I was before watching it. I will say first of all that it was finally good to see all the penalties called against the other team & not us. Appears to me while our defense is solid & as Ron says are agressive & emotional but we can still be ran on. It appears we’re pretty good at stopping up the middle runs but it seemed to me outside containment broke down quickly & the corner could be turned on us too often. I am totally in for the new scheme however. I like the fact that they can see the ball better & Woodson is just a horse at whatever he’s asked to do. Hawk needs to become the player he’s supposed to be.

Offense running game has improved but still needs to keep chugging. Hope we keep Grant, Jackson & Sutton. Seems we are getting to 2nd level a bit more often now we need backs to get some misses and tear off some long runs. Aaron said in one interview that he was barely touched all night. I didn’t see that. Protection is better but still needs work. Obviously, if Rodgers goes down, we’re done. He is a very good (great almost came out of my mouth) QB. As stated by Andy, great passes of all knds, good reads, excellent mobility & very good feet. HAte to see him run though simply for fear of injury. The couple of runs he did in that game were very smart & he avoided contact. I’m just afraid we are depending a little too much on the long ball & teams can game plan against that very easliy. The game I watched featured the Cardinals announcers in the booth and they stated a couple time that the Cards had not game planned for the Packers which is typical in preseason games I supose.

At any rate, much happier with the prospects for this season but don’t put us in Tampa yet. I do like the coaching on both sides — now all 53 that remain have to really step up & play to their potential. We have to get the NFC North back– I think we stack up to any North team but it is going to be an interesting year. Couple bad calls, couple mental mistakes, couple injuries & this division goes many different ways.

Just MHO.

Dave, In normal circumstances I’d agree. This year, however, the Packers are playing with emotion and attacking very aggressively on both sides of the ball. It’s not the wins to me. It’s the way they are playing the game that give me hope for this season.

I don’t want to be too much of a wet blanket, but… let’s not get too excited here. It’s just the preseason. Teams prepare a lot more, and play a lot harder, when they start counting wins and losses.

Oh yeah: the last time the Pack went 4-0 in the preseason? That was the year Ray Rhodes was HC. Which resulted in a very sloppy 8-8 finish to the regular season.

I don’t see a scenario that we lose to the bears week 1. Thoughts?

As fans we certainly can look forward to Tampa–but as players they need to look no further than next Sunday. OF course with the guys at this blog I probably just wasted 5 minutes of my life typiing this–it’s pretty obvious…..
