Right, just what we needed, another way to hype an aging, washed up QB on a crappy team. What's next? A Washington Mysitcs Notebook? Exciting!!

Brett and the packers are going to win the division this year.11 wins 5 losses. Brett's still better than most QBs in the NFL.Last year I predicted 9 and 7, I missed by one. You just wait, they'll surprise a lot of people this season.

The reason Favre wanted Moss so badly is he thinks that will win the Super Bowl for them. Most sports writers and talking heads think the Pack will be an "also ran" team this year. Not so. Last season was the only season, since Brett arrived, that the offense was really bad.
The Packers will be like the Bears last year except for the QB situation. The defense will be a top fiver and the offense will be in the top five as well. How, you ask? The only reason the defense won't be number one is they'll still miss a few key tackles and give up a few passes over the linebackers but those will be their only weaknesses.
On offensive, their running game will be very good. The only concern they'll have is fumbling but, that aside, they'll be tough. as long as the receivers drop only the "average", that will give Favre a huge season.
If the Packers beat the Eagles the first game of the season, look out.
