| Cowboys 27 @ Packers 16 | |
 | JeremyWhile this one might be a good test for the Packers, I'm not so sure it's the test for Rodgers everyone is making it out to be. Those Eagle receivers were open by 5 yards on every other play. |
 | MattI slept through the Cowboys/Eagles game last week, and I don't even regret it. Football sucks. Cowboys 32, Packers 17. |
 | SarahWe have a fairly decent defense and an ok offense. If we can just hold the Cowboys to a little less than 41 points, we should come out on top. Remember when the Cowboys never had to play at Lambeau? Grrrr.... |
 | JonWell, we all know ARod owns the Cowboys so I expect a blowout of 87-0.Actually I think T.O. scores twice and the Packers lose. |
| Jets 29 @ Chargers 48 | |
| JeremyLife as a Charger fan must suck these last couple weeks. The AFC is rough, and losing two weeks in a row at the last second, one of them a terrible break on an inadvertent whistle, isn't going to help your Superbowl chances any. |
| MattI just saw a commercial where Al Michaels said that he didn't think anyone had more fun playing QB than Tony Romo. I guess all the offseason drama must have affected Brett Favre's football enjoyment ability. |
| SarahI have no games to watch on Sunday afternoon now that the Jets are on Monday night and the Packers play Sunday night. I might be forced to watch the Vikings game!?!?! Go Brett go! |
| JonThe only question here is how many interceptions the Chargers will return for a touchdown. Odds are, it's zero. But would you be surprised if it's 3? |

Here's what people are saying about Rodgers. Being a backup for 3 seasons seems to have been a big reason why this "rookie" QB is not playing like a rookie. With all the talk of these "tests" for Rodgers, we can all agree that this game against the Cowboys is absolutely going to be a test, not just of Rodgers, but for the Packers offense. The first two games were against pretty suspect defenses. The Cowboys are a powerhouse. This is going to be a pretty good indication of what we can expect from Rodgers and the Packers for the rest of the season. My favorite quote from the link I posted: To summarize: Wrong alignment. Unintended receiver. Touchdown. Some might call it lucky, but it stemmed from a cool and well-schooled quarterback making a snap decision you wouldn't expect from a first-year starter. He was talking about the touchdown pass to James Jones, where Brandon Jackson lined up in the wrong side of the formation, Donald Lee was in the wrong spot and coming in motion, Greg Jennings was the intended receiver in the corner of the end zone, and Jones basically just got in the way and caught the ball. |

What's to befuddle? The Vikings were a consistently good team for years. Besides that, it's not even an "opinion" based ranking system. The Vikings won the NFL/NFC Central 16 times, nearly half the time, and made the playoffs 7 times as a wildcard. The Packers won it 6 times in 34 years (3 thanks to Favre, 1 in the strike shortened year). |

| I understand that, but what I don't get is how a team can be ranked so "high" and not have anything to show for it. Look at the Packers- not in the top ten, but winners of 3 out of what, 4 superbowls? Befuddling. |

Packers are 1-1. I guess it depends what you mean by "nothing to show for it," they have "not sucking" to show for rarely sucking. |

Panthers 10 @ Vikings 20
Jeremy
I think it's gotten to the point where instead of listing players as "Out 4-6 weeks" or "Suspended 2 games" they should just start saying "Out until the Viking game" and cut out the confusion.I'm torn on how I feel about Gus Frerotte getting the start. On one hand there's a good chance the Vikings could have 2 wins, almost assuredly would have 1, if there was the tiniest of improvements at QB. On the other hand, that's really the best we can hope for.
I can't help but feel a little bit like T-Jack is getting thrown under the bus. Two close games against 2 teams that are expected to be near the top of their conferences and you're out?
Matt
Is Jeff George still available?Sarah
Panthers have been impressive I think. I don't think T-Jack was the problem, which is why it's going to be hilarious when the Vikings lose35-3.Jon
Say what you will about the Vikings, at least they're keeping me interested. I mean, it's like opening week all over again. Except they're down two games.
