    I was curious what the Packer fans and general football fans thought of the Packer offense in this upcoming season.

    My big question is what kind of production do you expect from Farve and the passing game? Is there hope for a 1000 yard receiver or will Farve throw for an average of 200 yards and 1 TD per game?

    I think Ahman Green will be huge again, but will Driver or Walker step up and be key on more of a consistant basis? Walker looks like he could be a star in the right system.

    I think Walker(speed) and Ferguson(possesion) could bump Driver to no. 3 this year.

    Driver didn't look so hot last year. He was supposed to be Farve's favorite target too. Should be interesting. They could all be fantasy black holes.

    Walker will have a huge year. Ferguson just signed a five year extension, so he should choke this year. [​IMG] Driver will be back in 04-05.

    I think Green Bay is still going to be a running team, but with the tough schedule , I'd expect pretty big numbers from Favre this year...4000 + 30 TDs if he stays upright all season.

    That's a bold prediction. I like it, but I'm not so sure it will happen. (As you know or maybe not, I'm a closet Packer fan.) I think Ahman Green should have another huge season, but the passing game is definitely an interesting situation.

    30 td's maybe but no way he can throw for 4,000 yards without the running game suffering and after watching a ton of pack games last year and seeing all those Jumbo sets that were unstoppable I doubt we'll see them stray to far from their obvious strength...The combo of Green and Davenport.

    NOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT ANOTHER PACKER FAN!!!!!!

    We may have to talk about this SF. [​IMG]

    I think that's a pretty unrealistic prediction. Favre was showing some weakness last year when he had his streak of INT's. I think he is still a good QB, but now more than ever he needs that talented WR core that he never really had.

    Easy VF, I'm only a minor Pack fan and that will probably end once Favre retires. I'm sticking to my guns on the Ahman Green carrying the Pack again. I'd love to see Farve prove me wrong, I just don't think he will.

    Yeah, I'll back off and say 3500 yards. I keep forgetting that the weather at the end of the year generally inhibits Favre's throwing. That and you're right...the ground game should still be huge this year.

    Wishful thinking...I WANT Favre to throw for 4000 just to silence all of the "he's old and washed up" people out there. Every year, blah, blah, blah...

    Will Green really do that well this year? I think teams are going to stop focusing on Favre so much and start looking more at Green as the person who drives the offense.
