Usually the first game isn't great... it's a nervous affair.
Not this one, Brees and Rodgers are just slinging it. Saints down because of the fumble. Let's see what they do with their 3rd possession.

Awesome!!!

I want the Saints to lose tonight because its obviously better for the Bucs, but this GB offense scares... I'm glad I'm not a fan of an NFC North.

Hope you gamblers took the over in this one...LOL.

Awful covergae by GB there...just terrible. Thats an old bugaboo with this club that i thought had been addressed.

Oh well...time for Rodgers to get back at it...look for Finley to get a few thrown his way then a long one to James Jones.

Gotta say as well....absolutely hate the new kickoff rule...it flat out stinks and takes away from excitement in the game.

Im not sure the Saints could have a worse defensive gameplan. Tons of pressure and super soft coverage ... on Aaron Rodgers?!

I realize that Rogers and Co. will make a lot of defences look bad but this Saints defence looks every bit as bad as the one that got torched by a mediocre Seahawks team in the playoffs last year. Poor coverage and tackling.

Saints look like they're coming back. The Packers D needs to step it up here.

I think the Saints have found an adequate replacement for Reggie Bush with Darren Sproles. He's been the spark in the Saints offence that's allowing them to hang around in this game.

Woodson lucky not to get tossed there.

That was a dirty and stupid/useless move.

Yep.. I want Rodgers to keep throwing it for fantasy sakes, but it's time to run out the clock.
