Not since the mighty Casey struck out
Let's see, after yet another dismal playoff showing, the Packers have managed to improve their team by:- Not being able to re-sign Bubba Franks
- Losing both starting guards in free agency.
- Watching the starting defensive tackle skip minicamp.
- Listening to the starting nose tackle complain he's underpaid.
- Rerunning the Mike McKenzie fiasco from last year, this time with Pro Bowl wide receiver Javon Walker.
All in all, it looks like a pretty dismal year. The defense should be marginally better, but only because it couldn't possibly get worse. The offense still suffers from a split personality: you can't play ball control with Brett Favre, yet the Packers are happy to line up with big, slow Bubba Franks and bigger, slower Kevin Barry at tight end.
Most likely, Grady Jackson, Bubba Franks, and Javon Walker will all show up sometime during camp. Walker will "tweak" a hamstring, and miss some games but no pay checks. Jackson almost surely will hurt something and be lost for half the year. Franks will probably show up in shape, play hard, and have the same year he usually has.
Ah, well, at least I have hope for my Badger basketball team once the Packers start to completely fall apart.

The last couple of years I was thinking they could go to the Super Bowl, but probably wouldn't. This year, I think they will struggle to be .500.
We've come a long way since that playoff game against Philly two years ago.
Ahhhhhhhh...the Pack is finally back...to where it should be ;). This year the mighty purple will reign down upon all of the NFC Central. Little do you Pack fans know, but Drew Rosenhaus is secretly a Minnesota Viking operative.

The Vikings look the least bad in an ugly division. The Lions have the world's best flag football team. If they can eliminate the offensive line in favor of a five apple rush rule, they'll be Super Bowl contenders. The Bears are still the Bears.
I think Mike Sherman has proved to be a very good regular season coach and a very poor general manager. He's got about 2 years left to prove something, or else he'll only be remembered as the first coach to lose a playoff game in Green Bay.
Minnesota Vikings= 16-0.
World Champs. They can't be stopped.

CP, I thought you were a member of the reality based community. Guess not.
Minnesota Vikings= 16-0.
Reminds me of back when I had season tickets. A guy in our section with a Fuad Reveiz jersey would predict the score before each game, and it was invariably something like "Vikings 56, Chicago 3."

Curiously, that was the score of every game of Madden Tard Patch and I played yesterday. Sad to say I came out on the losing end of each.
I have purple fever. I can't be cured. We are the Chi Cubs fans of football. We have to dream.

Nah. The Cubs are loveable losers. The Vikings are just losers.
