Greetings followers. I got sick of the Vikings hoopla so I'm back in Wisconsin taking care of personal business for a couple days but I'll be back Monday.
The contest against the Vikings is a winable one but MM and Capers need to be very pragmatic. Although welcome, big plays can't be relied on. I took the liberty to briefly analyze time of possession the prevrious 7 meetings between these two team.
Date Packers Vikings Result

The proof is in the pudding. Whoever eats the clock will win this game. What I've noticed about the Packers offense this year is a lack of efficient plays. If Ryan Grant could just average 4 yards a run and if we ran the ball 35 times Monday it would be a huge help in winning this thing. I'm also a firm believer in Jermichael Finley being a huge part of the game plan. After we get the run going and get the Vikings buying into the play action Jermichael Finley can eat mismatches up.
On defense we need timely blitz calls. Not gimmicks. We need to force AP and Chester Taylor East and West. AP is a freak and he'll get his yards but giving up big plays in the dome is killer. Contain, Contain, Contain.

Packers Rams Recap
As it turned out the Packers o-line did a better job protecting Aaron Rodgers today giving up 2 sacks to Leonard Little. It was 36-17 victory but we aren't satisfied. The Packers struggled to run the ball all day with Ryan Grant averaging a mere 3.8 yards a carry. In addition the Packers had good opportunity in the red zone three times in the 1st quarter and couldn't punch the ball in the end zone. At times it appeared as if Aaron Rodgers held onto the ball too long. There were other intances when he looked for the deep read far too much. It seemed like the Packers had trouble developing a mid-range passing game. Although he showed promise in the preseason Jermichael Finley continues to be invisible in the regular season.
On the defensive side of the ball Charles Woodson continues to make play after play week in and week out. There might not be a more intelligent player on this roster.
AJ Hawk looked foolish more than once. It's getting to the point where you need to ask yourself what type of resources you push towards this guy. He plays like a mid-round pick exhibiting little flash or aggression. Johnny Jolly continues to make plays and show rare athleticism for his bulky frame. He's up for an extension, but you need to question putting money in his pocket. How many players of his pedigree have gotten paid and improved? Think Joe Johnson or Hunt. The drug issues make me really question giving him an extension.
The bottom line is the Packers beat a bad team today and at times didn't look much better than the Rams. The true test comes next week.

Our prayers have been answered
2009 First round draft pick BJ Raji is active for today's game in St. Louis. Seven offensive linemen are active however which means the scramble bowl could be on. Check back for an update after the game.

Rouse's Exit
When the Packers drafted Aaron Rouse out of Virginia Tech in the 3rd Round of the 2007 NFL Draft the thing that immediatly popped into our head was Sean Taylor (RIP).
The guy looked the part and we fully anticipated aggression and hard hits for years to come. One scout tempered out excitement when he said "This guy looks like Tarzan but hits like Jane".
As time has progressed this scout proved to be correct. Rouse never measured up (that's what she said) but his release in light of the injury to Rasta Ninja has fans scratching their heads.
This is what we think. New Safety Coach Darren Perry is a hard ass and wants his safety to play the game the right way.
"If he can just make the tackle you'll have a pretty good run defense," Perry said. "Some teams will try to crack (back) on him (with wide receivers) and make the corners tackle. You can't have a strong safety that doesn't understand how to fit those kinds of crack blocks. If he starts popping and getting outside, now you've created a seam instead of making it go east and west."
Rouse did whatever he damn well pleased on defense which expediated him getting his ass kicked out of town. By about 3:00 pm tomorrow we'll know if former Raven Derrick Martin will be able to get the job done.

Packers vs. Rams preview
Just watching a little bit of the Penn State Iowa game. Our guess is J-Pa isn't doing much of the play calling these days. In fact there's a good chance he thinks Kerry Collins, Ki-Jana Carter, Lavar Arrington, and Matt Millen are out on the field playing tonight.
Onward and upward. The Packers Rams game figures to be a struggle. The Packers O-line has been spotty of late. This week MM promised the injured hodge podge unit would rise to the occassion. The Rams O-line isn't much better.
We've decided a fitting title for this game is the Scramble Bowl. Whichever QB can avoid getting their eggs scrambled will most likely lead their team to victory. The Packers have an edge with skill posistion players as we're pretty sure Haz-Akim is no longer on the Rams.
Score Outlook: Packers 24
Rams 14
Out,

1st Quarter Quick Hits
Jermichael with a drop....I take back any positive comments I ever made about the guy.
Keying in on Allen Barbre....hasn't allowed a sack in the first series.
Ed Hochulee is refing. Why isn't he wearing his normal tight refing tee that expose his huge biceps.
Wow, these drops are pretty painful...Jennings with a drop.
For some reason the Packers didnt do any

Saturday Morning Update
Looks like the Badgers are playing Woffard....is that a high school team?
According to MM Colledge is good to go for the game tommorrow.
Ochodouchebag plans to do a Lambeau leap if he scores a TD Sunday.
Johnny Jolly could face 2 to 20 years in prison for the Codeine incident (hopefully the Packers get another good defensive tackle by the 2010-2011 season)

Rasta Ninja On the Mend in the Dojo
In just another example of us opening our mouths and slamming our left foot into our espresso stained teeth it doesn't appear as if the Rasta Ninja is on his way to a break out season. Per MM, Ninja sustained a "significant" knee injury and will be out about four weeks. Aaron Rouse will likely fill in.
This is a big blow for Ninja in and his fans. Hopefully this is the only injury the pack need to deal with this year.

Blog corrections
A reader has pointed out a couple errors.
The Packers went 6-10 last year.....our bad.
Mike Holmgren made his famous "We're not done yet speech" after the Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers.

1st Quarter T
Nice interview with Urlacher.....Not! what a d-bag.
Jordy with a nice return. Jordy!
5 Wide baby....nice 8 yard pass to Jennings. 1st and 10 do it again.
Pisa Tia who?
Crosby misses from 49 yards....damn it.
It looks like we're really trying to establish the run.
Nice corner blitz from Traemon Williams....3 and out.
Jordy ever heard of a fair catch?
Nice catch by Greg Jennings.
Jermichael Finley flanked out....if I were the coach I would draw up 50 plays a game for him.
Allen Babre just got torched....where's Taush.
Rodgers just got smoked but appears to be getting up.
Traemon drops two ints but Nick Collins holds on and makes it count. Write the extension TT!
Allen Barbre blows but patience is a virtue.

Bold Prediction
In the 2007-2008 I predicted a 10-6 season and the Packers went 13-3. There was something about that team that I saw early on. The defense and offense were solid across the board. It didn't hurt that everything went our way either. That season we lost to the Bears at Lambeau, the Cowboys in Big D, and again to the Bears in frigid conditions in Chicago.
Last year I predicted 7-9 and they went 10-6. The injury to Cullen Jenkinds was killer and A-Rod could never seal the deal in the 4th quarter.
2009-2010 Prediction
9-7
We're good but not great. In addition an A-Rod injury could ruin the season.

Sunday afternoon tidbits
Is it just us or does Gray Bush (Kurt Warner) look a lot grayer? The precession and passing efficiency that got the Cards to the Super Bowl last year wasn't there today.
Why do teams think running the Wild Stupid is so beneficial? You're on the goal line and what do you do? Bring in Josh Cribbs to take a direct snap and get tackled for a three yard loss.
We were impressed by Drew Brees....that huge mole on the side of his face was looking really good and by the end of the first half he single handedly beat one of my four fantasy teams.
Adrian Peterson just keeps on chugging along. Favre looked okay but not worth a $12 million cash out flow. Still better than Tavarais "T-Hack" Jackson. A shout out to Joe Thomas....Jarred Allen was silent today.
The New York Giants consistently seem to win battle after battle in the trenches.
Stay tuned for more sports fans.......

The King makes an appearance at Camp Randall
Okay, so we've named Bigy the Rasta Ninja and it's time for a new nickname. By emperial decree Ted Thompson is to further be known as "The King". His word will supercede our word. For that matter his word will also supercede President Obama's word, the Dhali Lama's word, and the Pope's word (just kidding on the two religious leaders but not Obbomunism)
Our boy Michael Hunt reported seeing The King at Camp Randall doing some scouting this Saturday(our guess is wasn't courting Brent Bielma into coming to Green Bay to help coach). We welcome the site of The King in Madison. It most likely means he's going to be present in a Lambeau press box in a crisp shirt and tie watching the Packers kick some a#$ on that mini-television he sets up for himself.

Saturday Morning and We're Off and Running
Holllllaaaaaaa, Just got done with a nice caloric burn this gorgeous Saturday morning. In anticipation for the show down with the Bears hopefully Atari Bigby avoided a little lung burn of his own last night (if you catch our drift).
The Rasta Ninja (we just gave him that nickname and it seems like is kind of works) is poised for a big season despite a less than spectacular preseason. It's worth noting that Bigby's off-season work ethic has been questioned from time to time. Last season's December 26th anke surgey set Bigby back a little bit but it doesn't seem like he's letting that get him down but it sounds like he's healed.
Bigby's predicted Stat Line for Sunday's Game
1-Interception
7-Solo tackles, 1 solo tackle for a loss.

Post Game Notes
Sorry Team...little bit preoccupied following fantasy stats.
General Observations
+ Jeff Fisher is a stud. Who among us can grow that thick of a mustache?
+ Collinsworth and Bad Al are a solid broadcasting team. What more could I expect from a CPA and the man who announced the Miracle on Ice.
+ Is Andrea Kramer going to ask Big Ben about his sexual assault allegation.....surprisingly not.

A tribute to a player with a heart of a lion...and a head of a granite counter.
St. Louis Park, MN- While watching a Packer game in the late 80s and early 90s there are two things you didn't miss. Lindy Infante's shitty play calling (that would have worked great in a flag football game)and the bone crushing hits administered by the king of sting, Packer Safety Chuck Cecil.
Cecil's storied NFL career started for the Green Bay Packers where he was selected in the 4th round out of the University of Arizona. During his 5 years with the Packer's Cecil captured the hearts and minds of all who filled Lambeau with his style of reckless abandonment and often time bloodied face. Among Cecil's accolades include a 1991 All Madden Selection, a 1992 Pro-Bowl Selection as well as multiple college awards and honors.
Not to anyone's surprise Cecil had to retire from football in 1995. Today he is the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. He is also an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his wife Cari and daughter Charli. Said a seemingly satisfied Cecil in a May 2009 interview...."Paul, my playing career was tough....but I have no regrets"

+Big Ben Runs out on the field with his hat turned backwards...what a tool.
+Stirring randition of the Star Spangled Banner by Harry Connick, Jr. You say Potato, I say Pototo, you say tomato, I say Tomato, you say Tomoto, potato, pototo, tomato, tomoto, let's call the whole thing off.
+John Madden isn't announcing this year? Chris Collinsworth has some big shoes to fill (And some big pants to fill)
+Troy Polamalu is a heat guided missle....too bad he's no Charles Woodson.
+Why did the Packers ever let Craig Hentrich go? He made punting cool.
+Roger Goodell is on hand for the game...tough but fair.
+Courtland Finnegan is from Stanford, I thought he was from Ireland.
+WTF!?!?!?!Chuck Cecil is the defensive coordinator of the Titans. This calls for the Chuck Cecil article at half-time. One of my favorite Packers of all time.
+Titans are starting to work the ball down the field. Is Polamalu ever not involved in a play?
+Algae Crumpler got fat over the off season.
+Steelers just can't move the ball in the first quarter....Does Mike Tomlin not realized I pick Santonio Holmes.
+Kerry Collins kind of throws like a girl....an emoitionally reborn girl.
+Lendale White checks into the game. Most likely envisioning a cheeseburger in the end zone....oh wait. He lost weight giving up Patron.

The 7:30 hour is nearly upon us...Predictions are In.
With my cold six pack of Miller Lite in front of me and crunchy basket of salty pretzels beside me the NFL season kicks off in a mere 17 minutes....now all I'm missing is a cute CLB wearing a Green and Gold two piece (a guy can dream can't he)
Predictions are in.....
Come Back Player of the Year
Torry Holt- Let's face it. The Ram's offense sucked last year. A change of scenery, a QB who can avoid getting his head scrambled every play and a running back who is on the rise could lead to a 1,000 yard season.
Walter Peyton Man of the Year
With Adam "Pac Man" Jones playing for the Toronto Argonauts this prediction is a tough one. I think Warrick Dunn is still in the league. I could only guess he's going to build some houses for distressed families, read the book Cat and the Hat on his off days, and deliver some turkeys on Thanksgiving.
Executive of the Year
This isn't a hard one. Obviously the Atlanta, Texas native Ted Thompson.
Coach of the Year
I don't like his douchy hoody anymore than you do but my gut tells me it's going to be Bill Belicheck.
Offensive Player of the Year/NFL MVP
I'm going to go out on a limb but I think Aaron Rodgers has a really good chance.
Defensive Player of the Year
In a contract year....Johnny Jolly goes on a sack binge (better than a pain killer binge). Just kidding. I think it'll be Baltimore's Ed Reed. A very gifted defender on one of the most special defensive units of all time.
Offensive Rookie of the Year
With Brandon Marshall slapping away footballs in practice and kicking footballs into farm fields someone in Denver is going to be making plays and I doubt it'll be Kyle Orton. Knowshon Moreno will get the footballs necessary to be NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Defensive Rookie of the Year
Larry English, LB, San Diego
Super Bowl Champions
Pittsburgh Steelers in a Repeat

Thursday Update
Hey Packer Nation,
Hope all is well out there. Great article by my boy Bob McGinn today from JSONLINE.com. It just goes to show TT's continued preference to build through the draft. Check it out at.
http://www.jsonline.com/packerinsider/58306942.html
In other Packer news it sounds like BJ Raji, Will Blackmon, and Brandon Jackson are being held out of practice with some injuries....I'll keep you all updated as time progresses. Look for Jordy Nelson to return kicks and Mr. Woodson to handle some of the punt return duties Sunday.
I'm pumped for tonights showdown between the Titans and Steelers.
Check back for more later.

And so it begins.....
As children go back to school, leaves change from their luscious green colors to rustic oranges and browns, and families everywhere begin their fall preparations of carving pumpkins, building haunted houses, and making homemade apple cider this means one thing and one thing only.....the roar of the generals of autumn is upon us. As we speak, I can only imagine that Ted Thompson is sitting silently in a darkened room watching film with top aides John Schneider and Reggie McKenzie, Mike McCarthy is carefully mapping out the first ten plays from scrimmage, and Dom Capers is installing a new wrinkle in the team's already potent looking 3-4 defense to further lead to fear and bewilderment of the hapless Chicago Bears.
Unlike in years past, much hangs in the balance as this 2009-2010 NFL football season commences. Labor unrest has players, owners, and fans on the edge of their seats....even Shawn Merriman plans to be saving more money. “When you get that first check, you want things, lots of things,” said Merriman, who owned six cars at one time. He said he’s down to three and acknowledges even that’s too much. “You get a few years into this and you realize you don’t really need all that stuff. You don’t even have time to drive all the cars and do that stuff if you’re really working at your life." Solid words from a solid solid human being.In addition the Packers have several key contributors whose contracts are up after this year. Only time will tell what happends....at a time like this we need to stick together and pray for the best.
Following a 1996 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship I'll never forget a thoughtful post-game speach given by Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren..."Gentlemen....you need to enjoy the journey, you need to enjoy the process, but we're not done yet!' Who could forget that after those fighting words, the Packers went on to claim victory in Super Bowl XXXI over the New England Patriots.
As we begin this season let's take the words of Mike Holmgren into account. We need to enjoy the journey....but we're not done yet!
