Good game thus far... I think GB will pull it out, but like the heart of the Saints.
Great to have football back

Indeed! Highlight of the match for sure, unless something unimaginable happens between now and the end.
The Packers look like a better team. That's all it comes down to. Saints are doing there best and really trying, but it isn't mattering.
Our D sure wants to make this game interesting. Neither team is going to like their defensive stats come Tues morning.
What a freaking game, incredible!
Gotta give it to the Saints though, fought to the very last moment, pure heart.

Wow! Time to change me underpants. Not sure that was interference in the endzone, but doesn't matter. I guess the Pack made one more defensive play than the Saints.
While I disagree with the Lions Super Bowl talk, I still see them splitting the series with Green Bay. Protecting Rodgers will be the big challenge for the Packers, and the Lions run D is better this year. The scary thing about the Lions is last year they could bring great pressure without the blitz and this year they have a better D line. Having said that, I'll admit the Pack is a better team, the difference is the defensive backfield.
I predict the Lions will finish second in the division with a healthy Stafford. I suspect the Bears 10-6 record was the biggest fraud in football last year. Now there's a team that has O line problems along with Jay "no mas" Cutler ready to fake injury at a moments notice. I do believe the Lions offense is going to be one of the biggest surprises in football this year, and it will dominate teams like the Bears.

Sad to say, but Olin Kreutz looks done. Considering they have 2 pro-bowl caliber guards, his play was really poor. Saints had almost no push up the middle in the run game, pressure up the middle, and they couldn't convert on crucial short yardage plays. Sounds eerily familiar........
So was NOLA.....with their D getting rolled up. Back to back games of giving up 40+. At least it was by a better team this time.

No way are the Packers are a better team then the Seahawks!
NOLA has had a rough schedule going against the elite football teams from the end of last year to the opening of this year... It will get better for them.
In stark contrast to Packer's center Scott Wells, who got some post-game interview national air time. The guy looks like Paul Bunyon's little brother.
