Wowwww
 
Whew! Too close for comfort. Great game.

Kevin
 
Great season opener
 
That play, and the other 4th and 1 play, is completely on the New Orleans offensive line. Ingram had no chance to convert that.
 
Congrats Cheeseheads, nice win
 
Great finish.
 
That was a ridiculous drive by brees. No timeouts, 79 yards in a minute.

Nice stand at the goal line, they didnt even have a chance at scoring on that one.

Or is it because of the Packers defensive line?

Kevin
 
Brees racked up some nice points for me though!!
 
"Big red zone defense. That's what won the game for the Packers."

Packers won the battle of the lines on both sides of the ball tonight. If you are wearing green and gold glasses, then you say that GBs lines were the reason. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I prefer to say that NO's lines sucked tonight. GB gave up 34 points, it's not like they were the Bears defense from 86 out there.

Didn't say it was their best. But the Dline played really well. A lot better than the score indicated.

Stopped them on 4th down in the red zone. Stopped them on 3rd and 2 in the red zone. Stopped them on the goal line on the last play of the game. The Saints have a terrific offense. The Packers shut them down at the right times. That Sproles is an annoying little guy, though.

It's not like the Saints are the '85 Patriots either.

Honestly forgot about the 4th down play. Poor play calling perhaps in the red zone but the the packers deserved the W for sure. Didn't hear Matthews or hawks name much, kind of surprising.

And which team is? Doesn't matter if you give them credit or not. It's a big fat W on the board. Against one of the best teams in the league.

Kevin
 
I have no clue how NFL scores their fantasy but I'd like to thank Drew Brees for 77.25 points tonight.

That has to be good, right?

Quite amazing how a team can be the defending Super Bowl champions and win a game, yet it seems like their fans still have a chip on their shoulder. All I was trying to say is that the Packers won the battle on the lines on both sides of the ball, but I think it was more because the Saints had some issues on the line. Relax, have a beer and a brat, then go to bed. :bye:

EDIT: One more thing, you have a QB that is going to be a top-5 QB for at least the next 5 years in this league, your team will always be competitive. That must be nice, the team I support had that in the 80s and 90s, and now have been searching for that for over 10 years.

No chip, it's just funny that even though the Packers made plays when it counted, you won't admit it's because they're good, it's because the Saints played poorly.

Edit: Oh, and it is nice. Really, really nice. Like super nice. The Dolphins should try it.
