After the Green Bay Packers “loss” to fall to 1-2 against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, the Packers somehow must regroup and play the New Orleans Saints Sunday at Lambeau Field.  The Saints enter the game a somewhat surprising 0-3 on the season.   With the loss of head coach Sean Payton for the entire season thanks to the Bountygate scandal, the Saints seem to be a team without a direction. The Packers “lost” to the Seahawks 14-12 on perhaps the most controversial call in NFL history. With the regular referees back on the field, the officiating hopefully won’t be something the Packers need to keep an eye on.  The Packers defense kept the team in the game after the offense once again sputtered, mainly in the first half when Aaron Rodgers was sacked eight times.

Week 4 QB Rankings

Week 4 QB Rankings I have Aaron Rodgers ranked at number one this week as he faces a New Orleans secondary that has allowed 273 yards per game including 320 yards to RGIII in his NFL debut.

RGIII is unbelievable; he is essentially a low end QB1 and RB2 all rolled...

This Gatorade is a little sour Juan… I pushed hard all Summer for fantasy players to pass on QBs early, but to think that the top guys would struggle mightily was beyond even my wildest predictions.  Will they continue to struggle?  Will those that have overachieved early on, be able to continue their success?
