Pre-season schedule kicks off with 5 Games being played this Friday.

Im glad the lock out issue was resolved and a season will take place.

What are everybodys thoughts as far as the bowl? can GB go back to back?

Looking forward to the NFL season.
Yeah glad the lockout is over and sorted out,Its free agent frenzy at the moment.
My niners are going to struggle again, at least we have a good HC now.

U reckon GB have a big chance to go back to the SB with Rodgers as QB
Philly, Giants,Atlanta & Saints would be the challengers from the NFC
For the AFC, Jets, Pats, Ravens, Steelers, Colts and maybe the chiefs.
But the NFL can be a lottery at times, so looking forward to a exciting season.
Hopefully One HD still show some games

Nothing wrong with Sav as a punter.

Chris Bryan has been booming punts at Jet's training camp.

GB won from 6th seed last year with 4 playoff wins, 3 on the road, 1 neutral.

Starting to happen more and more that lower ranked teams go far in the playoffs.

So who knows what happens this season, especially with the shorter preperation

As a Packers fan I'm hoping for the best but as history shows back to back Super Bowls are rare I'm just going to enjoy saying "World Champion Green Bay Packers" for at least couple more months

Seem to recall a team winning from a lower ranked seeding not long before GB's win. ;)

Not much happening in the first batch of preseason games.

NE didn't play their started and flogged the Jaguars.

Vick threw a td pass and won against the Ravens

Seahawks beat Bolts by a TD

Dallas are 1 point up with 1/4 to go over Denver.

Oakland v Arizona going now.

Yes I need to reiterate "World Champion Green Bay Packers" is a good pre season feeling.
They also look good injuries all healed so full list and optimism to start with.
Go Packers!

Miami def Atlanta
Detroit def Cincinnati
Washington def Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay def Kansas City
New Orleans def San Francisco
Cleveland def Green Bay
Carolina def New York Giants
Chicago def Buffalo
St Louis def Indianapolis
Tennessee def Minnesota

Even though it is pre-season, still wouldnt have picked the packers and the Giants to lose.

Pittsburgh won Super Bowl XV (40) from 6th seed .. defeated Seattle.

New York Giants I think also came through the wild card round when they upset the undefeated Patriots in SB 42

Agreed. Starters only playing 1st qtr though.

Looking forward to seeing how Mason goes. Also Wilkerson and Ellis on our revamped D-Line.

Mangold and Moore are out, so offense might be a bit off though.

Really keen to see how Kerley goes, good reports on him out of training camp. Also looking forward to how Wilson steps up. He trained with Revis during the lockout.

We did alright considering we had our QB3 run things for 3/4 of the game. McElroy looks good.

If only that WR caught that ball in the end-zone, we would have won. Oh well, he is only training camp fodder anyway.

Cumberland looked good at TE. Kerley really impressed. Wilkerson and Ellis were good. Wilson is finally turning around looking for the ball.

Sanchez 6 of 7 is encouraging too.
