Can we talk about Flynn?
 
How badly will BB confuse this kid since it appears he is going to start for the Packahs......anyone know if this kid has any skills?

The Flynn-led Packers put up 3 points against a team we put up 45 on... mad skills

I watched a good bit of their game last weekend the other night and I'd have been bringing Graham Harrell up from the practice squad immediately after what I seen. And thats bad.

After Colt McCoy (granted, with a much better running game and some fortunate turnovers) and Ryan Fitzpatrick's performances, I'm not willing to count anything out, especially considering GB has a decent defense and is fighting to stay alive.

I have a feeling Flynn is capable of having a nice day against our team, just because the team has a history of giving up points to guys they don't have a lot of film on.

But, what makes me more confident is knowing the game is at home. Hopefully the crowd gets into it and makes it a tough day for him.

Colt McCoy looked okay against us ... I mean it can happen ... not likely but possible.

Fitzpatrick looked good against a lot of teams. He is NOT a BAD QB. He is a journeyman, good midlevel starter. The kinda guy the Pats fill other positions on their roster with. Do NOT dismiss him. Surround that guy with a great team and he will look like an all pro.

McCoy is a young and dynamic QB. But still. I will give you that one.

I have no clue what to expect out of Flynn. If I go off of what he looked like at Detroit... it could be a long 60 minutes for the GB offense. If he looks like what he did in the pre-season, he'll be a game-manager, not a game-changer tho. If he looks like he did in the 2008 BCS Championship, then things could get interesting.

Thanks for chiming in. Its nice to hear from an opposing fan who doesn't trash talk.

Especially when the home town faithful do so much of it. I am sure you have been welcomed a long time ago, but welcome again!

Forget college ball. This is the pros.

Game management would be VERY effective if your team can produce a dominating run game. Can they? No seriously. Teams have a way.

Does your team have a way to pull it off? If so it will still be an interesting game.

Oh and again, weather will not be a factor. So what? Its cold. Its snowing. Bears, Packers, Pats, Bills. Non Factor unless you are playing a warm weather or dome team.

No idea either. With some QBs, Bill likes to wait for them to make mistakes. Makes for a close and uncomfortable game. The Pats usually wins these games but it is no fun to watch. I see a game like this on Sunday night. Me thinks this will be a lot like the 2007 game against the Eagles.

BB's defenses don't do as well against guys he doesn't have a lot of tape on. Can't really game plan for a guy whose tendencies are unknown.

But I still think we win this one.
