Good game last night. I watched most of the first half and a little of the third quarter and I am pretty happy for Aaron Rodgers. He played well and really seemed to have the support of the fans. On their opening drive on a third down, Rodgers scrambled for a first down and the fans really let him hear it. I don't know if there has ever been a more pressure filled start. The guy is stepping into some large shoes and is the first GB QB to start for the Pack since 1992. He stepped up to the pressure and had himself a very good game. He seems like a good guy and seems to have won over the team. Last night's win helped him win over the fans.
I don't like the way Favre flip flopped and handled the whole retirement/off season with the Pack. I lost a lot of respect for him so I am just happy that Rodgers came out and had a good game. I think he will have a solid year and he will help the Packer fans forget about Favre pretty quickly.
BTW - the Vikings are pretty good but Tavaris Jackson is going to hold them back. 16 yards passing in the first half is not going to get it done. Glad the first week is over. There are a number of impressions after the first week. As mentioned, it typically takes a few weeks for things to shake down. We'll see which teams/stories hold up and which ones fall apart.

Neither the Packers or the Vikings looked great to me. You have to expect the QB issues to play out for both teams (new starter and maligned starter).
Would you not agree that the most impressive win of the week was the Bears thrashing the Colts?
I can agree with that. I don't think very many people would have thought the Bears would win let alone beat them the way that they did.
I certainly was impressed with the Bears victory.
