Packers v. Saints - NFL Opening Night!

[FerrariFan87]

Well, folks, the NFL season officially kicks-off tonight at 8:30 p.m. on NBC between the reigning/defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and the SB champion from the year before, the New Orleans Saints.

Who you got?

I have Green Bay winning at Home in a shootout, 31-24.

[mhead66]

I'm rooting for the Saints but I'm picking the Pack. Both offenses are really explosive, but the Pack is getting a lot of injured weapons back, and they have a better D.

And I agree - it's going to be a ridiculous shootout... Both teams could score 30+.

[ravensfan2430]

Packs got this one.

[PuRock]

I don't think it will be as big of a shoot out as everbody thinks. And I think the Saints take this one early. Give Payton two weeks to prepare against a team who is still high off a Super Bowl win, and I think he gets it done.

[Ed_Reed20]

As long as Finley and Meachem have good nights, I'll be happy.

[Gtown Purple]

I have the Pack winning this one, stronger defense.

[darklight1216]

Are you ready for some football?

I'm taking the Pack.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Great game to kick the season off in style. Packers to win 27-21.

[Doctor Who?]

I need the packers D to come up big in this one

[AsianRice]

It doesn't matter who win tonight cuz it's awesome to watch 2 best shooting teams going at each other.....

[Raveman]

Packers will continue the streak of wins by defending champs on Opening Night.

[berad]

Can't beat sports stadium music hahahha

[TheRavenouseD2008]

Are you ready for some FOOOOOTTTTTBAAAAALLLLL!!!!!! sorry for the shouting just that excited

[McBurks]

Rodgers and the Packers are starting hot.

[McBurks]

Anyone thinks this will be a blowout? Saints' D looks bad.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

man sproiles is as bad as I remember him , I still got nightmares about that swing out for 90+

[JO_75]

I hate the New Kickoff Rule even more after every touchback I see.

[JO_75]

Welcome to the NFL Randall Cobb... Touchdown Packers!

Packers 21
Saints 7

[AwakenTheDemon]

And I wanted Cobb so badly for this team

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Great play by Rodgers and Cobb. One of the reasons I wanted the Ravens to take Cobb. Cobb has great explosiveness.

[mhead66]

28 points, 297 total yards, 20 passes vs. 8 rushes... and they're still in the first quarter.

It's the new NFL. Defense optional.

Very true, which makes me wonder if the Ravens/Steelers will be fined after Sunday's game for being to "defensive" lol.

[Alexir]

God I love watching the Packers. Wish we had Aaron Rodgers lol

And our own fans think Foxworth sucks because he let up [b]2[/b] passes in preseason. I'll be he's an upgrade over any corner out there tonight besides Woodson.

[McBurks]

You think we're going to see a punt tonight?

I don't think he's an upgrade over Tramon Williams but ya foxworth is underrated by our fans and i don't know why.

I don't know, those Punters for the Packers & Saints are making us wish we were them, getting paid to just sit on the bench and do nothing lol.

[img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img] I hate the new, "exciting" trend of track meet, pass-happy scoring contests. I'm old school, and I still like a strong defensive struggle, and smack-'em-in-the-face running attacks - like Leach should help with.

That's why I LOVE our rivalry with the Steelers - a brutal bloodbath. Like Gurode said in the Sun today, ""I have asked a few of the guys on the team about the rivalry and how deep the disgust between the teams exists — that's a nice way of saying it," .... "The Redskins - Cowboys rivalry is pretty serious, but I don't think I have ever seen anything like a rivalry like this."

[JO_75]

Well at least the Saints Kicker was able to kick something that wasn't a Extra Point lol.
