Joe Webb is given the KR duties before mid-season (and not because Patterson becomes such a valued WR).

It wouldn't be the first time in 15 years but I think we'll see a lot more of it. :) I hope you're right and the corners become a strength of the defense. That could pay huge dividends.

Colin Herd on ESPN radio predicts The Packers win the division followed by
1. Green Bay
2. Detroit
3. Chicago
4. Minnesota @ 6-10.

I don't like this at all.

I really, really wish someone would take the time to rate the "experts." Looking back 5-10 years to see just how well the Punxsutawney Phils of the NFL are able to predict the future. I take no stock in these types of predictions.

Just drank some purple koolaid... feeling optimistic-- check back in a few minutes I'll deny ever having said any of this...

AD will fall short of about 200 shy of 2500 but *will* beat last season by a moderate amount and take care of that pesky unfinished business of the season rushing title.

Ponder *will* settle down and not cost us important games and we will make playoffs. This will not satisfy those who want a different QB (nor should it...).

Frasier will do well enough to earn an extension, but since we won't win the SB, half the board will think we need to start over from scratch with a new coach, and that we should trade AD to a team that can actually get him a SB and get a stud QB in return.

Me? I'll get super excited about the prospect of how far the team can go at some point in the season, only for things to go terribly wrong (most recent example Joe Webb having to QB playoff game last year). It's what I know.
