His shoulder was wrecked right at the end of the '05 season...seems it got better.

Plus they probably felt that they had to see what Rivers could do besides cash big paychecks. They traded some dude for him, I forget who...

I believe it was their most awesome GM who wanted him despite Marty's protests.
Guess it worked out well for Brees. Marty was a casualty but is getting the last laugh this year. :D

But A.J. Smith never makes mistakes.

This game is a nail biter for me.

I have Rodgers and Crosby starting on my FF team.

I am down 10 points with the Pack getting ready to go on an all pass blast.

I need Rodgers to get a touchdown and throw for about 40 yards before the game is over.

Mason should provide me with the rest via extra point.

Someone should go over to a Eggo board and rile up the lone remaining fan over the Brees vs Rivers debate. :D

It's only 8:30 on the west coast. He's still at dinner.

He made this one also.

thanks guys for the info on Brees. I really like him

Here's an interesting article on GB's defense :

Quote:

An Excerpt:
The Green Bay Packers have received an influx of offense from an unlikely source this year: their defense. The defense has recorded seven touchdowns in only 10 games this season; no other team has more than four. They're also on pace to score the most touchdowns in a season since the 1998 Seahawks' defense, which scored 10.

The Packers' performance in scoring defense this season has been the best in recent memory. In 2007, the Packers scored four defensive touchdowns; in 2006, they scored five. They're on pace for 11 this year, more than the previous two seasons combined.

While Packers' fans and coaches will take the points any way they can get them, Green Bay's dominance over the rest of the league in this category raises a lot of interesting questions for the future. Will the Packers continue on this hot streak? What does it mean about their performance for next year? Are the Packers simply better than the league on returns, or is it just the combination of opportunity (the Packers lead the league in interceptions) and luck?
