i hope our game plan is the same as it was in the second half of the Seahawks game. even if the Saints don't have the pass rush we still need to quick looking 20 yards down field on every down.

should be a good game with two of the best QBs in the game today. if our D plays like they did monday night we should be good to get win #2.

Well if Rodgers can't get going against the Saints D, then we are in for a long season. I think he gets in going, but then I wonder if the D is up for the challenge. I am only watching Packer games from now on, but with these awful refs, I am predicting loses from here on out. Get the real refs back so the offenses can get rolling.

Drew Brees trying to tie Johnny U's record of 47 straight with a TD pass. How fun would it be to stop this one at 46? I'd LOL.

I feel bad for the refs going into Lambeau on Sunday Laughing

I'm sure they'll hear some things they haven't been called since high school.

Saints have shown no fire after all of the off season turmoil. They have as bad of a defense as the Packers did last year. If the offense can't get on track against this D, it's safe to say that we can all start worrying. The Saints do have a good offense, but they have looked wildly inconsistent so far this year and Brees hasn't looked the greatest. They also gave up a 24-6 lead at home and lost 27-24 to the Chiefs this past Sunday.

Thinking something like 38-17 Packers.

This game is huge for us. We have Houston coming up soon. If we don't play well the next two weeks we probably don't make the playoffs. Not even being dramatic, a 1-4 hole is probably too much to crawl out of.

I think this game will show us who the Packers are going to be. If we come out like we have the first three games, then its pretty clear to me we're done for barring a miracle.

On the other hand if we come out angry and focused, I could see this being a turning point.

We'll see just who these guys are on Sunday. Hopefully they'll give us something to cheer for, because this season has been a disaster so far.

This is a very important game, we don't want to be down in a 1-3 hole.

I hope they can put some of this behind them and focus for the game. Rodgers needs to get back to form. Our defense has been great but this will be there biggest test this year.

I'm boycotting till the official officials return. Shouldn't dress up as a ref but as a greedy NFL owner Smile

If we don't dominate the Saints then the Packers season is about as good as done. If you can't unleash an offensive thrashing after what happened this week then it won't happen. This is a season changing game.

Alright, maybe my Green and Gold glasses are too tinted on this one, but this is how I view it. The Saints are the easiest defense we will have played without a doubt. Much like after the San Fran game there is some concern and worry. But what I saw last night was this offense starting to come around. For the first time all year Rodgers didn't make "that" throw. His pass to JerMichael and the back shoulder to Jones were great progress. The line showed some competence in the run game against a pretty good line. There is room.for progress but I saw some in a damn tough place to play. If Driver and Rodgers can make that TD happen and Walden doesn't get that BS RTP call maybe we hit one more TD quick because we are on their 20 that would mean we would have hung about 24 on a top 10 defense on the road. We were just a few short plays and correct calls away from that. IMO the offense is on the up and the defense is really starting to put it together.
