Tim Hightower looking good again. Have the Redskins found their starting RB? I believe they have Tom. Then again, they are playing the Colts. I would bet you could run for 100 against them!

[/QUOTE]Good point. I'm shifty.

Reggie looking good for Miami.

Yes I know it's pre season and Carolina.

Daniel Thomas failed twice from the 1 before Lex Hilliard punched it on 4th down.

All I know is that if Manning is out......the Colts CANNOT win.

Curtis Painter and their defense equals Carolina last year (without the good RB's)

Reggie looking like the star of the Miami offense. This pre-season game is bad for the health of my fantasy team.

Favre never had a losing season as a starter while with the Packers. In fact, his only losing season as a starter came in the final season of his career. Considering he played 20 seasons in the NFL (19 as a starter), I'd say he was quite accustomed to winning. Almost never....In 2005, the Packers finished 4-12 (much to my agony). Injuries to Javon Walker, Robert Ferguson, Ahman Green and Najeh Davenport left them in bad shape. That was Sherman's last year as head coach. That was also the Samkon Gado year. Having said that, I am appreciative for what Favre brought to the franchise and I am now appreciative for what Rodgers brings to the franchise.

Beanie is looking good...

Touchdown for Danial Thomas. Carolina making Henne and my Dolphins look amazing. I think I know who that says more about...

Thoughts on the Packers-Cardinals:

Packers
Rodgers looked great again. Beautiful back-shoulder TD throw to Jennings for the second game in a row. Driver active and productive. Go ahead and keep sleeping on him. Whoever snares him as a WR5 is going to get a bargain. Grant looked real good tonight. Ran hard. Finley played and looked healthy.

Cardinals
Kolb didn't look very good. He was under a lot of pressure from the Packers so that played a big part in his lack of production. Woodson absolutely owned Fitzgerald. Andre Roberts made a couple of nice catches. Beanie Wells didn't do much to distinguish himself but he didn't look awful by any stretch. Like with Kolb, I'd say it was more a case of a great defense doing its work than anything Wells wasn't doing.
