Rams Rams Rams....

Okay Ram fans... Are you ready for some football?? 'Cuz here comes a team worthy of a good game. Green Bay Packers are itching for a good game. We've studied, we're ready. Bring on the football

Rams

It was a cold and raining night... No just kidding!

The first time we encountered the Rams they were still playing in Cleveland back in '37. Yes 1937. So both teams have been around the block a few times. Of the 89 games we've played we have won 42 of them and tied twice making these match ups fairly even. Knowing in the past the Rams have won a few more games than us doesn't hurt, after all, you only really learn when you lose right??? (yeah I'm groaning too) We've not met the Rams since 2007 and then Brett and company lead us to a win in their home territory. For us a few things have changed. Can Aaron lead our team to a win on the road against an even team? We shall see in a few days.

As for the Safety question... I'm sure McCarthy will fill the whole before game time adequately enough. Nick Collins looks ready for the option of playing and will be at the game if nothing else to lead moral support. The move in yesterdays roaster wasn't over surprising. It's Aaron's team to lead now, he's got to be comfortable with his mates just as they need to be comfortable with him and his ability. We'll never pull out a winning season if we're not all on the same page. With the addition of Matt Giordano we ad another player Aaron has a seemingly good ability to play with. With that we say good-bye to Aaron Rouse and hello Giordano.

With less than 3 days left until Sunday's match up, it's time to hit the practise field and study up the play books. We're looking forward to Sunday's game, boys. Bring us home a win.

Go Packers!

Cincinnati Really??? L, 24-31

Is anyone else still in wild disbelief that the Bengals actually pulled out a win last Sunday? I'm still licking my wounds from Sunday's loss. Bengal Ochocinco actually played well and deepened my dislike of him. Sorry dude, take it down a notch would ya. Anybody that feels the need to change his name to his number has some major spotlight issues.

Shaking this loss off & realizing that the Vikings won another is irritation in a bottle, want some? As we hit the road this week to venture down into Ram land, focus needs to be deviated from Brett and his win over Detroit to taking on the Rams in their own lair. The Rams have been a pretty solid team in the past and are sure to be looking for a win after their 2 point loss to the RedSkins last weekend. They looked good in the pre-season with a 3-1 record and their only loss coming from the claws of the Falcons but have failed to win in regular season yet. It's hard to go in to this game overly cocky when they managed a win over Cincinnati in the pre-season :-) and are sure to be hungry for a win. Time to hit the tapes boys! Get your strategy down and remind the Rams that the Green Bay Packers are a team hankering to play some ball!

Bengals, Cat's or Kitten's?

With the Bengals ending 2008 with a 4-11-1 season and opening this season with a loss, I'm sure they are ready to see Chad Ochocinco be remembered for more than just a RIDICULOUS name change. The smack talk has started on Bengals.com and I'm sure they actually believe some of it. However we all Know the Green Bay Packers are just a better Team. We will win. Our season's haven't gotten worse and worse the past 3 seasons. We've at least held our own.... Okay okay we could have had a better last year but Hey it's 2009 and it's the year to Shine. Aaron is ready to play and when we're done with Kitten's there will be no purring.

Go Green & Yellow! The Green Bay Packers are Ready to Welcome the Bengals back to Lambeau... in 3 days ;-)

A Little Something Fun

Lee, the Packers have a tradition at Lambeau Field of playing the song "Band on the Drum All Day" by Todd Rundgren after every Packer touchdown. It seems to have become an unofficial Packer anthem. When did this tradition begin? I started noticing it in 1995, but it may have started much earlier. Any idea? - Dave, Racine, Wis.

Dave, just for the record, the name of the song is "Bang on the Drum All Day," substituting a 'g' for the 'd' in the note above. (I'm sure that was what was intended.) And, yes, I think you can safely say that it has become an "an unofficial Packers anthem." Mike McKenna, the coordinator of Packers game day entertainment at Lambeau Field confirmed your observation, also noting that it was 1995 that it made its debut at "Lambeau." "To my knowledge," he added, "we were the first team to play it. Since then, some high-powered offensive teams, such as the St. Louis Rams under Mike Martz and the Indianapolis Colts, have been playing the same song by Todd Rundgren, but they were copying us."

Thanks Chicago!

Wow what a game!! What a season opener for us! Thank you Chicago for bringing a GOOD GAME to the field last night. I for one was on the edge of my seat going into the final 2 mins. Al Harris, Thank you for that interception! Boys you played a great game last night. I hope y'all were taking notes, though, remember we play them again in week 14. Enjoy your victory you certainly earned it in my book!



On another note... The Denver Bronco's took down the Cincinnati Bengals 12-7 in a game that came down to the final 2 minutes also. We took notes Cincinnati, we'll see you in 6 days.

Final look around the Packers Faithful Division, The Minnesota Vikings took home a win yesterday against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns scored first, giving me false hope, but in the end Favre & company pulled out a win of 34-20. I guess our old boy still has some steam left. We'll see him in week four, see how much he likes the other side of our line. Remember, Brett, Once a Packer, ALWAYS a Packer. When you go in the hall of fame it will be as a Green Bay Packer, not a Falcon, a Jet or a Viking.

Green Bay Ramps Up for Chicago

With two more days til the tete a tete with Chicago nerves are starting to hum with excitement. Will the season opener live up to the hype? Will two teams with the OLDEST rivalry be able to perform with past seasons glory? Hell yes they will!!

McCarthy is focused on Special Teams and I trust he's right. With most of the recent years games being decided with Special Teams assistance, it's a smart game plan. The Packers look ready to 'dance' so let's wish Shawn Slocum good luck and get ready for the grid iron! This being Slocum's first game as the Special Teams Leader, he's got to feel the pressure of the Packers Faithful that this showing will make a lasting impression and a promise to what's to come this season.

2 days and counting until kick off, Go Packers!

Sunday Night Football

Not for the first time, we are to open the Season against the Chicago Bears. What will be different however is there will not be John Madden. With four more days to go and a fact sheet to read I found myself wondering what about John Madden? Where will he be this coming Sunday? I had a chance meeting with him once, he stayed at the hotel I worked at. To say I was in ah is an understatement. He is The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

So Chicago, I'm ready to welcome you to Green Bay. I'm ready to meet you on the field for the 179th time, but I'm not ready to start the game without John Madden. Here's to the man that brought us the Turducken!

Good Bye 18

After all is said and done Brian Brohm didn't make the final cut. I guess all that playing vs. Tenn should have been a sign. Add the loss and it's really not hard to see how they got there. Here is the list of the cuts, some of them we're surprised to have to see go:

Wide Receiver Jake Allen,

Quarterback Brian Brohm,

Cornerback Trever Ford,

Guard/Tackle Andrew Hartline,

Wide Receiver Kole Heckendorf,

Linebacker Danny Lansanah,

Running Back Kregg Lumpkin,

Defensive End Alfred Malone,

Wide Receiver Ruvell Martin,

Tackle Jamon Meredith,

Nose Tackle Dean Muhtadi,

Linebacker Cyril Obiozor,

Cornerback Joe Porter,

Tackle Dane Randolph,

Safety Anthony Smith,

Running Back Tyrell Sutton,

Defensive End Ronald Talley

Nose Tackle Anthony Toribio

Defensive end Justin Harrell, cornerback Pat Lee, tight end Evan Moore and safety Charlie Peprah were placed on injured reserve.

Cheers to those saying good-bye to Green Bay. The Packers are grateful for you coming out to play, maybe next time

3-1

Tenn won. I'm sad.

At least we got a good look at Brian Brohm.

Go Green Bay, look out Chicago. We'll be ready

Tennessee

With 2 hours left until game time, are you ready?? Are your chicken wings in the oven (or ordered, btw Wings To Go lives up to the rep) I'm a buzz with excitement ready for me some FOOTBALL

Last Pre-season Game

With the Tenn. game nearing, many Packers Faithful are wondering who will be playing and who will they be saying goodbye too. Everyone has got their opinions but for once I don't. I'm just ready for the game to really think about it. All I know for sure is they'd better let Aaron open then figure out what they'll do about Matt & Brian & playing time. It sure would feel nice going into Chicago with a 4-0 pre-season. We've got the nuts and bolts, our boys need to have this game to figure out the rhythm for them. Got to get it to 100% and we've only got 10 days between games to figure out how we're doing. One plus going into Chicago that we hold right now is the 3-0 where as they are 2-1. We've got some momentum, lets not loss it ;-)
