Packers fall 34-24 to Seahawks

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Wednesday 29 November 2006 at 3:40 am

The Packers just couldn’t hold onto the football as they only had possession of it for 23:53 of the game and that hurt.  Brett Favre didn’t have the best game of his career, as he completed 22 of 36 passes for 266 yards with 1 TD and 3 INT.  Ahman Green carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards (3.1 ypc) and a TD.  He also caught 6 passes for 46 yards.  Donald Driver stabbed 2 passes for 82 yards and a TD.  Greg Jennings was also pretty busy with 6 catches for 50 yards.

A.J. Hawk was pretty busy with 15 tackles.  Charles Woodson had a very good game with 4 tackles and 2 interceptions.  Abdul Hodge pitched in with 6 tackles and he returned a fumble 29 yards for a TD.  The Packers just couldn’t stop the Seahawks running game as they carried the ball 48 times for 235 yards (4.9 ypc).  The Packers did o.k. against the pass as the Seahawks only completed 17 of 36 passes for 147 net yards passing.

This is a tough loss for the Packers because things were looking good at halftime, and then Shaun Alexander took over.

Aaron Rodgers out for the season

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Big Packer News, Injury Reports, General by ravenhater on Friday 24 November 2006 at 3:25 pm

Back-up QB Aaron Rodgers will miss the remainder of the season because of a broken left foot that he suffered in last week’s game against New England.  Rodgers finished up his second season completing 6 of 14 passes for 46 yards.  The Packers still have not figured out if Rodgers is the QB of the future or not.

The Packers signed veteran Todd Bouman to a contract earlier in the week.  Bouman has played in 42 games and started 6 in his career.   Bouman has completed 56.1% of his passes for 1,683 yards with 11 TDs and 11 INTs so far in his career, and he has a QB rating of 75.3.

Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks

The Packers and Seahawks are both coming off disappointing losses, but the Seahawks are finally getting healthy.  Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander will both be starting on Monday Night.

Look for the Packers to run the football with Ahman Green (644 yards rushing) and Vernand Morency (235 yards rushing) against a soft Seahawks run defense that allowed Frank Gore to rush for 212 yards last week, and have allowed an average of 117.8 yards rushing and 4.5 yards per carry on the season.  Brett Favre (2,368 yards passing) could also have a good day against the Seahawks who allow 212.7 net yards passing per game.  Donald Driver (58 rec, 813 yards) could have a huge game on Monday Night.

Look for the Seahawks to throw the ball alot against a Packers secondary that is allowing 241.3 net yards passing per game.  Darrell Jackson (50 rec, 785 yards) and Deion Branch should cause all kinds of trouble for the Packers as long as the line gives Hasselbeck enough time to throw the ball.  The Packers already have 33 sacks (Aaron Kampman has 10), and the Seahawks have allowed 34 sacks on the season…so that could be a problem.  Shaun Alexander could have a rough time against the Packers defense which is only allowing 3.7 yards per carry this season.

Look for an offensive shoot-out on Monday Night.  I have a feeling that the gimpy QB that protects the football better will prevail in this game.

 

Packers totally destroyed at home by the Patriots 35-0

The Packers had no chance in this football game as the Patriots came out of the tunnel looking to kick whoever’s butt appeared on the other side of the field.  The Patriots dominated every facet of the football game, and even knocked Brett Favre out of the game.

Brett Favre had a rough game before the Patriots dealt him the knockout punch, as he oly completed 5 of 15 passes for 73 yards.  Aaron Rodgers replaced him and looked pathetic completing 4 of 12 passes for 32 yards.  Ahman Green got stuffed all day as he had 13 carries for 28 yards (2.2 ypc).  Donald Driver led the receivers with 2 receptions for 42 yards.

A.J. Hawk led the defense with 12 tackles and a fumble recovery, but the defense played pretty bad on Sunday.  The Patriots rushed for 122 yards on 40 carries (3.1 ypc).  The Pack allowed the Pats to complete 20 of 31 passes for 235 net yards passing.

What an awful display of football exhibited by the Packers this week.  They batter hope Brett Favre’s injury isn’t serious..or their season is over!

Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have lost two games in a row for the first time in a season since December 22, 2002!  The Packers have caught fire and have won 3 of their last 4 games.

Look for the Patriots to come out throwing against the Packers, the same way they did against the Vikings when they thrashed the Vikings 31-7 in the MetroDome.  Coach Belichick always adjusts the offense to the opposing teams’ weaknesses….and for the Packers, it’s the secondary.  The Packers have allowed 242.0 net yards passing per game on the season.  To combat that, the Packers need to get Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and Aaron Kampman in the backfield to put pressure on Brady.  Also look for A.J. Hawk to do some blitzing off of the edge.  The Patriots will not abandon their running game, however, as Laurence Maroney (495 yards rushing) and Corey Dillon (479 yards rushing) have run the ball very well this season.

The Packers have been running the ball well this season, but I have a hunch that they will come out throwing the ball against the Patriots.  Brett Favre (2,295 yards passing) has been hot as of late and the Patriots really don’t have anyone that can cover Donald Driver.  The Packers offensive line has only allowed 11 sacks this season, so Favre should have the time to attack the Patriots down the field.  Look for Ahman Green to get his carries to attempt to keep the Patriots offense off of the field.

I see this as being a very high scoring game.  Whoever has the better game between Brett Favre & Tom Brady will win this football game.
