    All those yards Philly racked up against the Pack was with Joe Barry as DC. He was fired for a reason. I think you will be surprised with the Packers defense under Hafley. I was at 7 training camps practices this summer and the D was impressive. Against the Ravens in a joint practice the Packers D had the Ravens completely rattled. And each teams ones go against each other in joint practices. Different than a preseason game.

    I'm not saying the Pack will destroy the Eagles, but I very much like their chances.

    Again, just so we're understanding each other - Hafley was Ohio State's DC in 2019.  I am very aware of what he brings to the table in philosophy and design. 

     Which is the reason I first and most specifically mentioned the Packer corners vs the bird WRs.  I'm going to be enjoying that matchup the best, because my heart is always defense. 

    I have no dog in the fight. I just love the game and I'm looking forward to seeing some good football this weekend.

    If there only were Green Bay Packers message boards for Green Bay Packers fans to talk Green Bay Packers football.

    If. Only. 

    As long as it's civil, it's ok. 

    My 2nd favorite NFL division is the NFC North. Their fans are like us....tortured ( Lions, Vikings= Browns), spoiled ( Packers, like Steelers). Bears, well mostly sadness with a sprinkle of happiness ( Ratbirds).

    It is absolutely ok. 

    I actually really like our resident Steelers fan Vagitron more than I like a good portion of our own fan base on here.

    This particular Packers fan strikes me as a pompous douche.

    Oh look, we have a keyboard warrior, hiding behind a screen. Have not seen a keyboard warrior on a NFL forum in many years. 

    Moving on to people that are relevant and things that matter...

    I like the Jets getting the 4 against the Niners on Monday night.

    We do have a juvenile tradition of renaming opposing teams’ fans.

    What should we name this guy?

    In his defense, I think when your team has 2 HOF caliber QBs back to back in roughly a 30 year period, maybe perspective is difficult. Something we certainly aren't used to.

    Let's give it a bit more time.

    I'm sure Zombo could come up with something in roughly 1/64th of a second with that ammo... ?

     Without looking it up, I believe games in Mexico sit around 50/50 in over/under hitting.  

    If the Packers offense picks up where it left off, then they can hang 27-30 on Philly.  O/U was 48.5.  so if you're playing the over, shave the .5 and you're basically asking yourself if you believe Philly can score between 18-21 points.   

    The travel factor for week 1 may present an issue. Ultimately I don't take much action in NFL or CFB week 0 or 1.   So far, all I've locked in on early was Ga Tech +10.5 ✅. BC +17.5 ✅ and then took Texas -3.5 this weekend.

    Why would one care about games in Mexico? This game is in Brazil.

    I think this game will be more about defense(at least on the Packers side) than people think. I'd go under.

    Games in Mexico are the only benchmark for how teams fare with over/under in South America (so far).   If there was some great trend in games being one way or the other when South of the border, that would help to further along the decision.

    I get where you are coming from, I just don't feel the neutral field location factors a lot in the final score.

    On the other hand, they say the Packers are the most popular team in Brazil, so a Packers heavy crowd could factor in. I would be happy to see Philly have to use a silent count on offense.

    A good game to kick off the new season with Lamar off target at the end denying the Ravens OT

    Birds have found success targeting the perimeter - Brown, Smith and Quon.    

    Hurts attacking down the hashes has been there problem.

    Speaking of "attacking down the hashes", but I feel that throughout his career this is something the Browns have really not taken advantage with Njoku, considering his above average athleticism and that the Browns run so much play-action.

    A thousand penalties called on the Packers 

    Packers also should have had at least 14 more points in the red zone. You can't get only 9 points off 3 turnovers. Absolute clown play calling by LaFleur. Then he will say his usual BS in the presser. "Got to give them credit." 

    Unacceptable performance. Absolutely unacceptable.

    What a friggin' clown show.

    Fly Eagles Fly.

    Definitely one of those games where whoever loses is going to be really frustrated by missed chances.

    Hopefully J-Love is good. He walked off after doc McKenzie looked at the knee. That is good sign. His ankle was rolled up on also. We will see what the MRI shows. 

    Just crap night all around. The crap Field in Brazil didn't help matters.

    I blame LaFleur for the loss.

    The other team has professional athletes and coaches.  So, yeah, you do have to give them credit for the plays they make.
