News and Notes
1. Green Bay makes its first road trip of the 2011 season when it visits the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the team’s first game in Carolina since 2005.
2. Even though it is the first matchup between the teams since a 2008 contest at Lambeau Field, this will be the 11th time in the past 15 seasons that the teams have met in the regular season.
3. This will be the second time that the Packers’ first road contest of the season has come in - Carolina. Green Bay traveled there for the ’04 season opener, a Monday Night Football contest that the Packers won, 24-14.
4. The Packers will be looking to get off to a 2-0 start for the fourth time in six seasons under Head Coach Mike McCarthy. The last Green Bay coach to post four 2-0 starts during his Packers tenure was Vince Lombardi (1959, 62, 65-66).
5. The Packers are 5-0 in their first road game of the season under McCarthy, the only team in the league to have a five-game winning streak in opening road contests. The last NFL head coach to win five straight opening road games with the same team was Minnesota’s Dennis Green from 1996-2000.

If there’s one NFL player who must be licking his chops this morning, it’s Packers left outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who will be lining up against an undrafted rookie as he takes aim at Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

That undrafted rookie is Byron Bell, who will start in place of Jeff Otah, who suffered a concussion last week. To say Bell has his hands full would be an understatement.

Bulaga and Sitton named best players at their position last week by PFF

Bulaga and Sitton named best players at their position last week by PFF

But Iceness said that Bulaga wasn't suited to play tackle in the NFL, surely that can't be right.

I will Lol even harder when it's 0-2

[ReasonablySober]

Tramon, Zombo and Sherrod are inactive.

[LUKE23]

Think that is a smart move on Tramon. Get him healthy for the Bears.

Alex Green, House, Neal and Vic are also out.

Line back up to 10.5. Anytime a line moves over or under 3 ,7 or 10 it means a lot of money is being bet on one side. This line has gone from 10.5 to 9.5 to 10.5.

Is that really suppose to be one of the best visiting locker rooms? Thought it was really plain.

[Ayt]

I hope we play Lee as our nickel instead of Bush and have Lee line up outside with Wood inside. With Bush, he really needs to play that inside spot to be effective, but I'd much rather have Wood there instead of him outside.

I have a feeling Cam is going to piss me off with his scrambling ability.

Oh and don't lose

[Greatness]
