    Packers seem to be doing a bit better against the Falcons than they did against the Chargers last week. It's early in the 2nd quarter, and positive signs include:

    - Favre is 9 for 12 with a TD, no interceptions and he hasn't been sacked

    - BJ Sander booted a 61 yard punt

    - Dave Rayner has kicked a field goal and got a touchback on his first kickoff (Finally a kicking leg!)

    - Defense has sacked Vick once and picked off a pass

    - Rushing game is looking slightly better, even if 19 of the yards so far came from a Driver trick play.


    I know it's only pre-season, but I'm glad that this week isn't shaping up to be the train wreck that last week's game was. At least not yet anyway...

    Funny how preseason always goes. One week the season seems lost the next it seems like we're ready to contend again

    Favre just threw a 2nd TD pass following a 15 play, 73 yard drive. Not bad... I'm guessing that will do it for Favre for the night.

    Driver had a huge half! Nearly 100 yards receiving and 20 yards rushing! That's great and all, but I hope someone else steps up soon.

    Jeez, and a defensive Touchdown to boot...

    What a relief!

    At least I'm getting the play by play from PA. I gotta wait till 7:00 in the morning when the NFL network re-airs it. Other then Driver any receivers looking good?

    Greg Jennings looked good. I think it's almost a sure thing that he'll start in the #2 spot unless Ferguson lights it up in the next two games.

    I watched the game yesterday and agree with Jennings as #2. Get him the ball in space and he's gone. Might be best for Ferguson's own good to be #3 guy and be more a inside guy
