Green Bay Keeps Riding Winning Wave. Beat The Jags 24-15 To Improve To 5-3.
It was a beautiful looking day at Lambeau Field. 44 degrees and sunny! I wish I could of been there! There was not much energy in this game, and that needs to pick up next weekend as the Packers need pour it on against the Cardinals, so we can ride into the Bye Week with some great smiles and momentum.
Good: By far and away, the Packers MVP so far is Randall Cobb! Clay Matthews getting some much needed pressure. The strip by linebacker Brad Jones was the first fumble recovered by the Packers all season. The blocked punt for a touchdown! That was the first by the Packers since December 1990 at the Metrodome. That day Vikings punter Harry Newsome dropped a low snap and safety Tiger Greene smothered the ball, returning it 36 yards for the score. The Great Dancing Donald Driver catching a TD pass.Donald Driver appeared in his 200th regular-season game, joining Favre as the only Packers to accomplish the milestone. It was the third straight win for the Packers (5-3) and their 16th in their last 17 games at Lambeau. Aaron Rodgers' two TDs gave him 153 for his career, moving him past Bart Starr into second place on Green Bay's all-time list. Packers S Morgan Burnett had a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Bad: Jermichael Finley dropping passes. Crosby missing kicks. Crappy penalties being called against the Pack is getting sicking! Rodgers fumbling, due to the lack of our O-LINE! Being out gained by over a 100 yards! The Packers were missing eight starters (Cedric Benson, John Kuhn, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Charles Woodson, Sam Shields, Nick Perry and Desmond Bishop) Alex Green-led ground game went nowhere against a 29th-ranked run defense, Green had 22 carries for 54 yards,
Time to focus on the Cardinals and get ready to go 6-3 before the Bye Week. Until next week GO! PACK GO!
