laughedatbytime Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well, the 2011 NFL season is about to start, with a game featuring the last two Super Bowl champions (and the only NFL teams to employ the great Jim Taylor), the Packers and the Saints. The season will start out with a familiar face in an unfamiliar place...it looks as if Kerry Collins will start at QB vs the Texans, as Peyton Manning is listed as doubtful. Since 2004, no Colt listed as doubtful has played, and of the 113 starters listed as doubtful in 2010, none played. In addition, Manning's doctors have indicated that he should skip the game. So the 208 game streak looks to be over, and there is no timetable for his return... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) 21-17 Packers now. The game is getting more interresting as it goes on. The news about Peyton sucks but the Texans will have a chance this year after falling just short for so long. Having a new team in the playoff picture can be exciting sometimes.

Rick N. Backer Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Packers offense doesn't look like they've missed a beat. Did they even take vacation after the Super Bowl, or did they just go right into practices on the Tuesday afterwards? Did news of the lockout not make it to Wisconsin?

laughedatbytime Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Interesting comment, because before the game people were speculating that the Brees lead workouts for the Saints would give them an advantage over the Packers, who had NOT done the same. I agree though, that it looks like the Packers didn't miss a beat (though neither did the Saints!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just place ball at 20 I think they will next year. Maybe not tho. Didn't dude run one back for 108yds? Really do think they're headed that direction. Will be firece debate.
