Packers are scary good, so loaded at all the key spots.

Not if the defense can't step it up. Haven't really shown up so far, Brees is picking his spots. Granted ... it's Drew Brees, he does this against pretty much everyone. But, no anointing them yet.

with that offense, it's not like the defense has to be the 85 bears or anything

The defending super bowl champs are always thought of as "unstoppable" before the next season starts...I mean, they just won the Superbowl, and every team is excited about their draft picks, so it makes sense...and they usually all look great in the first game back; adrenaline is pumpin and crowd is goin crazy coming off the super bowl.

I'll hold off judgment on this unstoppable talk for week ~6'ish

You could see that. From the beginning. Great block by just shielding the Packer player.

Agreed, and apparently the special teams, but as a Bears fan I typically overreact to the Packers being good because I hate them so damn much

Sproles is really good too, he might even be better than Bush. No nonsense and Hollywood attitude like you get with Reggie

How many times has the reigning champ failed to make the playoffs in football?

Agree, very smart play by just getting inthe way without blocking in the back.

Well ... not a Rodgers score, but I'll take it! Now, once again, defense gotta step it up.

This is going to end up like one of those high scoring college games. Both defenses don't seem to be able to stop either team.

Finally, a sack. Haven't had much pressure on Brees all night.

Every time I see the Saints play I'm shocked by how slow Roman Harper is. I never get used to it.

Loving my decision to start Colston over Dez Bryant and Malcom Floyd right now too. -0.9 points. Get you some Marques!

Did anyone see that ESPN is paying 15 BILLION for MNF for the next 8 years? That is like $125 mil/game. Insanity the revenue football generates.

1. Rodgers and the Packers are excellent.

2. I hate kicking off from the 35.

3. I love offense....but I need defense as well. 42-31 is not getting it for me. No Will Smith is huge.
