I'm leaning towards Farve over Vick this week. Heavy TD scoring system.. We have our double header week so the stakes are high. Vick has been so inconsistent..budguy39 said:I have to say favre has been pretty good! I would think he should be good at home against the Pats secondary! Some don't think so am I off here??projection 210yds 2 td's![]()
I'm a Packers fan and i wouldnt bench Palmer for Favre. Palmer could blow up, just like this last weekend. He's lost Tauscher this week, but might get Morency and Miree back this week. (Which means expect them to run the ball alot.)I'm going to bench Palmer in favor of Favre

Broken record but I wouldn't either. The Siants will likely put up some points against Cinci so there is a possibility that Palmer will need to take it to the air a few times.I'm a Packers fan and i wouldnt bench Palmer for Favre.

So do the Patriots.Favre will only throw if they can't run the ball or if they get behind. So he's a slight risk of 180 yds and a TD if they can move the ball on the ground.
No doubt Driver will be covered by at least 2 people the entire game leaving room to run.
Thats not to say he isn't still a top 5 QB and per Ron Jawarski one of the top 3 and better yet the only one who can make some very difficult throws.
But its a run first and often offense and the Vikings had one of the best run defenses in the NFL.

same here... I've been doing it most weeks... but i doubt Rivers has 2 games in a row w/ 3 TDs... though, he could be throwing more than usual vs Denver.I'm leaning towards Farve over River this week . It a hard call , because thay both have been playing well
I agree with Slum Lord. Losing Tauscher, means starting three rookie offensive linemen. After Tausher left last weeks game, the Packers had to put their tight end in motion to help protect Farve. The move worked against Minnesota, but New England will have an opportunity to study and gameplan for it. Alot will depend upon how well the rookies can handle New England's zone blitzes and how the Packer's coaches gameplan for New England.I'm a Packers fan and i wouldnt bench Palmer for Favre.

Wow, that's pretty bold. I hope you're right, since I'm going to be starting Favre also, but I would not bench Palmer over Favre....I'm thinking NO vs Cincy could be a shootout.I'm starting Favre over Palmer.
Not to nitpick here, but they've been using their tight ends and backs in protection all season long to cover up their rookies. That's not new.However, three rookie O lineman against New England? That gives me a very uneasy feeling.I agree with Slum Lord. Losing Tauscher, means starting three rookie offensive linemen.

This will be interesting, since reports are saying that the OC at Cincy is supposedly going to be taking back some of the play-calling at the line from Palmer. Palmer could be a lot more limited than he would like to be.However, Levi Jones may play as well, and that could only help Palmer.I'm starting Favre over Palmer.
As a lifelong Packer fan and Favre owner I have a bad feeling about this game. A pissed off New England team is going to eat him alive methinks.
They've been doing that all year, Tausch or no.I agree with Slum Lord. Losing Tauscher, means starting three rookie offensive linemen.

Comeon man. He wants to throw every down and go downtown. He gets bored with the run and dump off passes so he'll mix in some longer throws.Favre will only throw if they can't run the ball or if they get behind. So he's a slight risk of 180 yds and a TD if they can move the ball on the ground.No doubt Driver will be covered by at least 2 people the entire game leaving room to run.

Thats an easy call.I'm going with Favre over Vick as well!
Nothing in the news, which i think means good news. He played half the downs last week on turf, and since they are home this week, Jennings will probably play most of the snaps.Any word on Jennings health? If Driver gets extra coverage after last week Jennings condition could be a key to Farve's stats.
Quicker reads. Quicker throws. More protection. More production. Ya' think they would have figured this out a couple years ago. I wonder what changed in the off-season to bring this about????Quick stat....Favre has only been sacked 11 times this season.
i just came here to get some info on what others think the SD @ DEN game is gonna be like... i kept Favre in on Tuesday... but i think by Sunday i'll be rolling w/ Rivers... Denver has had lots of success shutting down LT2 (who my opponent has), so Rivers might get some extra chances to air it out.A huge Packer fan here and Ive seen all their games this year. I have Favre and Rivers to choose from and Im gonna stick with Favre but Im nervous. The Packers offense is clicking but they really dont do anything fancy at all. I think their success is more on Favre and Driver having the mind of one person and that's about it. Billicheck will scheme and if he can stop the run and then shut down Driver.....ughhh. I dont think it'll take a lot to shut down the Packers O even though I wish it wasnt that way. With as many rookies as there are on that team starting it's hard to get really deep into a playbook.And the Packers D is suprisingly (well, not to me, I thought they would be decent) this year. The only problem is communication gaffs where a wide receiver is wide open 30+ yards down the field. Seeing as they have been doing well against the run and if they dont let anyone wide open (those WR wont be able to do anything else), this game is gonna be low scoring. 10-7....Packers?
Have you even watched the Packers this year? The Pack (and Favre) is more than willing to run when it's there. Favre (nor McCarthy) DOES NOT want to throw every down. Measure and controlled. You're living in the past with this throw every down and go downtown crap.Comeon man. He wants to throw every down and go downtown. He gets bored with the run and dump off passes so he'll mix in some longer throws.Favre will only throw if they can't run the ball or if they get behind. So he's a slight risk of 180 yds and a TD if they can move the ball on the ground.No doubt Driver will be covered by at least 2 people the entire game leaving room to run.

I agree and I'm also a lifelong Packer fan..Palmer will carve up that worthless Saint secondary..Anyone who benched Palmer for Favre this weekend will live to regret it. NO has a horrible secondary (given up 2nd most passing TDs in league). Why would you bench Palmer when he has 3 stud WRs against that secondary and he no doubt knows he has to put up ton of points to win this game since NO will score on that Cincy D. Also game is in dome.....Palmer and his WRs will have a huge day. Do not make that stupid mistake.
upgraded to probable..Farve should have all of his weapons, but with Morency coming back it will definitely be a run first offense....Any word on Jennings health? If Driver gets extra coverage after last week Jennings condition could be a key to Farve's stats.
Burned?! Too many?! Did you only play him when he played Chicago and at Philly, both games that everyone knew he would most likely struggle in? Or did you play him against Stl and at Buffalo, where he should have had a good game (not great) but still had a respectable game."Should" do well...i have been burned too many times by Favre this season...he can be the best and he can be the worst. I still have Driver so I hope he does well....
Everyone figured this out several years ago, except coach Sherman.Quicker reads. Quicker throws. More protection. More production. Ya' think they would have figured this out a couple years ago. I wonder what changed in the off-season to bring this about????
