Been a long time since i have been nervous about a Packer season but here I am doing just that.
There are a LOT of expectations on this team this year, and being so young I fear it may hurt them especially early on. They need a good start against the Eagles and chances are they get it with the Eagles starting 3 new O-linemen and the defense giving up so many pass TD's last year....should be a win. Should being the key word as Philly can get to the QB and the Packers have to prove for real they have figured out how to keep Rodgers upright and Rodgers has to prove he can stop holding onto the ball so bloody long....a bad combo if not fixed.
Its gonna be a high scoring game IMO if Kolb has it figured out as a young guy who has the weight of a brutal fanbase on his shoulders. Again another big question mark.
37-33 packers.
And i am somewhat expecting the Texans to finally get the Manning monkey off their backs today. I think they have a big season.
No idea what to expect from that Cowboys/Skins game though...so many story lines going on there.
I think the most interesting game today is the Bengals/Patriots matchup. Is Cincy for real? Is Moss going to play like a guy in a contract year? Will they miss Mankins as much as i think they will. Can the Pats D step up even with all their inexperience and can palmer and Co. take advantage of them?
What does Denver hold...i have no idea what to think about them. Could be real good and could be real bad. I sort of think the same thing about the Browns...Holmgren can be magic at times.
I will shut up now.
