Wells apparently suffered a setback during Monday's practice in his recovery from what the Packers have called a "trunk injury,"

Is he a elephant? what the hell is a trunk injury?

Our defensive line is licking their chops! Rodgers should be shivering in fear.

Anybody who has watched their preseason games should notice that the line was clearly not playing at the level they did last year, which has made their QB's look very bad. The funny thing is that bad OL play will have the fans in an uproar over how bad the QB play is this year when it might not all be the QB;s fault. Hmm. Heard that one before.

Why is it when another teams players aren't looking sharp in a preseason game, people think that is a preview for their upcoming season, yet when it happens to the Vikings it's "Don't worry, it's only a meaningless preseason game" or "It's only preseason, they aren't giving 100%"?

Sometimes I think that can be the case, with all the injuries and shufling around coupled with poor preseason play it might be a clue that things arn't so sweet in GB.

I think that when we had some gaps in our defense early preseason it wasn't too much of a panic, we then came out and showed the em' the guns.

As far as our Offensive Line is concerned they havn't show they can spring Peterson for several weeks dating back to last season. I believe there play has been inconsistent and I think it starts right in the middle. This is not to say that they cannott play well because we know they can. I think its important to actually get in a real game in order to make a judgement on our Oline. It has been in somewhat of shuffle but I believe the guys are healthy and ready to get some work in putting up some nice drives. When the real season starts it won't be Tarvaris 11 times in a row but instead a balance.
