I'll say it again, this could be a franchise best D...the D that defines Zimmer's career...

Damn, he put on quite a show. I'm guessing he'll see a lot of double teams in Green Bay, which should open up our "lesser" defensive linemen. :-)

Its stacked. If the offense can keep getting incrementally better each week (which I think they will) then we've got a very fun year in store and a powerhouse come January and the playoffs. Won't win them all but there isn't a team on the schedule they can't beat legitimately. 

Low level sidebar but loved it: Daniel Carlson was perfect. That's what a young guy needs in Game 1. It builds confidence and that's what kicking is in the NFL, a confidence game.

Bulaga and Bahktiari...

thats a pretty good OT tandem. can they hold-up to Hunter and Griffen 1 on 1? I would say they'll win their fair share. 

Like always, game will be won/lost in the trenches.

Going to be warm in Green Bay, Zimmer needs to be disciplined and stick to that D-line rotation and keep these guys as fresh as can be.

Like always, game will be won/lost BY WHAT THE REFS ALLOW GB TO DO in the trenches. 



FTFY.
If the refs don't care about slowing down the game and call GB for every offensive holding, we win easily.

Yeah but when has that ever happened?  I'm definitely not holding my breath this week.

I just assume games in GB that are close go to GB because of the refs. Never fails.

Yup.  One of my favorites.  Never retire that jersey, just keep handing it on.
