Packers SI Preview 

Post#1 » by BuckPack » Wed Sep 5, 2007 1:06 pm

Some highlights:

- Predicted to go 6-10 by Dr. Z, yet finish 2nd in the NFC North, tied with the Queens.

- And this TT quote about Moss, I found particularly interesting b/c in it, he admits he was "too conservative" in going after Randy and might have delayed too long to let the Patriots in--the 1 thing I have lambasted him for over the last couple of months...

In the off-season he felt general manager Ted Thompson didn't move quickly enough to trade for Randy Moss. The quarterback believed that teaming Moss with Driver, second-year wideout Greg Jennings and glue-handed rookie James Jones could have made the Packers' receiving corps among the best in football. When Thompson dawdled, trying to get a better deal from the Raiders, the Patriots jumped in and sent a fourth-round pick to Oakland for Moss. "I was pretty upset about that for a while," Favre said. "I'm still not sure why we didn't do it." Thompson admitted this summer that he might have been "a little too conservative."


-Ultimately they think this season rides on our Defense...something I'm not going to argue with by any stretch.
