interesting choice to leave one of the top 3 receivers in the league 20 yards open

The Chiefs have a safety better at kickoffs than Crosby.

Crosby is so overrated. Our special teams has been in desperate need of a strong legged kicker for kickoffs for years and yet we continue to bend over backwards every year to bring back this guy. Even when he struggles it's never his fault, it's his holder, it's the snapper, it's someone else. Can't wait for the built in "returning from injury" excuses when he starts 4 for 8 this year. 

I've never seen Packer fans just worship and want to build a statue in Green Bay for a mediocre special teams player the way they do for Crosby.

Just get to half....

I’m done caring what this team looks like in September. Get out of this month with a win (next week would seem doable) and rest of season will take care of itself.  This is not what this team will look like in December.

Maybe they could start caring in August so it doesn't take until October to start resembling a professional football team.

Bears beat 49ers, even with 2 missed PAT's. Kinda makes this a should win game for the Pack, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen.

Packers way overdue for a poor regular season but I'll wait until Week 4 to feel one way or the other.

Why bother? Their seed hasn't seemed to help them too much.

Most predictable half of football.. Ever.

[yourout]

Only question left for today is will they score?

Someone should tell Kyle that the Vikings are actually a good team.

To bad they ditched Zimmer.

[HarveysWBs]

The only thing that really bothers me is the defense looking like this with preferred starters across the board.  That is annoying, but the offense for Minnesota is giving a ton of unscouted looks as they break in a new system, and our secondary is brain farting all over the place.

The offense is whatever.  The line is a mess and the receivers are all deer in the headlights out there in as hostile an environment as you can have week 1.  Tough draw.  Learn from it and move on.

Yeah but it's making me wretch that the media is salivating over O' Connell like he's the next Belechick.

[yourout]

I'm guessing any other team playing the Vikes will pay a bit more attention to Jefferson.

Yeah i wouldn't say I was expecting it but was prepared for this. The defense is the biggest disappointment to me, I expected the O to struggle. It's a long season, maybe we rally in the second half.

[yourout]

On the plus side the first half was relatively clean for special teams.

[AKCheesehead]

So if you're going to try to get into this game, points on this drive would be the first step.

[worm81]

Impressed with a couple of catch and runs with Dillon.

[HarryDoyle]

Rich of MLF to question the effort and execution when he once again doen't have them ready for the start of the season, Mr. I Don't Want My Starters To Get Hurt Playing Preseason Games.
