Why on earth would you risk an interception or any given # of things that can go wrong on a pass play when it is 3rd and 1????I am at a complete loss on why the coaches would call that pass play.O M G technically you could run the ball once or twice and get a yard———- I think calling a pass play in that situation, no matter what their defense looks like is just Dumb!!!!!

The Packers were given this win on a platter by the Eagles.  Reserve linebacker Tracy White recovered a fumble on a punt return…in the end zone for a TD.  Another muffed Eagles punt return resulted in rookie kicker Mason Crosby hitting a 42-yard field goal to win the game with 2 seconds left in the game.  Brett Favre didn’t have his best game as he completed 23 of 42 passes for 206 yards with 1 interception.  Rookie Brandon Jackson ran the football 15 times for 40 yards (2.7 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 35 yards (8.8 avg).  Donald Driver led all receivers on the Packers with 6 grabs for 66 yards (11.0 avg).  The Packers finished up rushing for 46 yards on 17 carries (2.7 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 42 passes for 169 yards.

Linebacker Nick Barnett led a good defensive effort for the Packers with 13 tackles and 1 interception.  The Packers held the Eagles to 103 yards rushing on 29 carries (3.6 ypc) and the Eagles completed 15 of 33 passes for 180 yards.

This seems a little low to me considering how well the Packers played last season plus the fact that they play in the weak NFC North and get to play the Vikings and Lions both twice.  I see the Packers rallying around Brett Favre as he sets some all-time records this season.  Also, look for the defense to force a lot of turnovers due to the pressure DEs Aaron Kampman and Cullen Jenkins are going to bring.  Take the over with the Packers this season.

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles gameplan against the Packers will be to run the football and pass the ball short.  They will want McNabb to stay in the pocket in an attempt to keep him healthy but that will depend on his tackles (LT William Thomas, RT Jon Runyan) who must keep Packers DEs (LE Aaron Kampman and RE Cullen Jenkins) out of his face.  That will be easier said than done.  The Eagles will also run the football a lot against the Packers defense with Brian Westbrook, Correll Buckhalter and Tony Hunt.  The key matchup could be when Westbrook tries to catch balls out of the backfield putting pressure on the OLBs of the Packers.  Look for A.J. Hawk to be up to the challenge.  WRs Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown should have their hands full trying to find openings against CBs Al Harris and Charles Woodson.  The best matchup in the passing game for the Eagles will likely be L.J. Smith against SS Nick Collins and Atari Bigby. 

Look for the Packers to attempt to run the football early in the game to take advantage of the Eagles weakness between the tackles.  RBs Brandon Jackson and Vernand Morency have been gimpy in the pre-season but when they watch film of the Eagles they will just likely take some painkillers and get on the field.  MLB Omar Gaither and OLB Takeo Spikes must step up and stop that Packers running game.  The Packers will probably run to the left where there best two O-Linemen play.  LG Daryn Colledge and LT Chad Clifton should get a good push against the Eagles front.  The Packers O-Line must control DEs Jevon Kearse and Trent Cole to give Brett Favre the chance to go down the field with the football.  The Packers need their receivers to step up in this game.  With Donald Driver a little gimpy the Packers need Greg Jennings and rookie James Jones to step up.  The veteran secondary of the Eagles will cause the Packers some trouble.  CBs Lito Sheppard an Sheldon Brown are solid and safeties Sean Considine and Brian Dawkins are outstanding football players.

It will be interesting to see if Packers K Mason Crosby has the jitters in his debut.  Eagles K David Akers is one of the most underrated at his position as he is clutch.

PREDICTION:  Look for the Eagles to beat the Packers as they have owned them at Lambeau Field lately and the Packers have not played well at home in quite a while.
