Packers

Interesting game tomorrow vs. the Packers.

What is with the NFL schedulers and their ongoing desire for the Eagles and Pack to play early in the season. Remember the opener the Eagles blew in Green Bay because Andy Reid cut all of his punt returners before the start of the season and then Greg Lewis (?) muffed a punt to lose the game?

Aaron Rodgers has become the poster child for succeeding a team legend and transitioning to a new QB era. Oh that the Eagles changes goes similarly smoothly and successfully.

On that point, while Rodgers is the new fan darling, it's worth mentioning that he's never won a playoff game and while he gets credit for keeping his team in the game vs. Arizona last year - he hasn't been killed - certainly not like McNabb would have been for overthrowing his wide open receiver on a play that would have won them the game. But I guess conventional wisdom being what it is, McNabb is the only inaccurate passer in the league.

Anyway, I don't have a good feeling for this game. I hope i'm proven wrong, but the Packers offense is good, the Eagles D untested (with all of the new players) and the offense has struggled.

A win would be huge against the team everyone is predicting to be the #1 seed when all is said and done this year. Still, can't see it happening.

41-14 Packers?
