Comments on: Packers finish first in the PFT Preseason Power Rankings http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/24/packers-finish-first-in-the-pft-preseason-power-rankings/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: manupngrowapair http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/24/packers-finish-first-in-the-pft-preseason-power-rankings/#comment-1895438 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 01:13:05 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1071611#comment-1895438 I’ve seen very little help on the offensive line, and that seems to be a trademark of Ted Thompson. If it weren’t for Rodgers legs and accuracy, he’d probably suffer even more concussions. As is, the line gave up 41 sacks.

Last year GB finished 3rd Overall in Offensive production, but 27th Running the ball @ 97 yds/gm. They only had 395 attempts on the season averaging 3.9 yards/carry. IMO, directly tied to poor offensive line play.

This is an abysimal defense which the New York Giants have now exposed. #1, too high, easy call.

I don’t think the Giants were even the 2nd, 3rd or even the 4th best team out of the NFC last year!!

But they won the Superbowl–and that’s what counts.

Football in 11 days!! YAY!

I think the Packers have a good chance to get into the playoffs, and that’s really all you can ask for. Get to the dance, and you’ve got a chance to end up with the Homecoming Queen – unless you’re wearing purple, of course.

“Ever notice how the #1 team in the preseason never wins the Super Bowl?”

Oh, like when the Vikings were supposed to win the Super Bowl in 2010 and the Packers won instead? Somehow, I doubt that situation reverses itself this year.

Well, Bob, why don’t we just agree that neither team will win the Super Bowl this year? Packers are on the way down and Vikings are on the way up, though.

I KNOW!

I lame joke about the stock they sold that isn’t stock would be AWESOME!

That never gets old!

Seriously. We get it. Do you truly have nothing better to whine about with this organization?

Don’t know how you can be ranked #1, when in the most meaningful game of the year, on your field a 9-7 team comes in and blows your doors off.

NY had a great season, made a great run, played a great game in GB. but in the long run GB is an outright better team. baseball is the only sport where you can get a true and clear sense of how teams stack up against each other, such a massive sample set of games. and even then, underdogs win all the time.
