The Green Bay Packers pretty much got punked in Tampa last Sunday.  Aaron Rodgers got beat up by the Bucs as he completed 14 of 27 passes for 165 yards with 2 TD passes and 3 interceptions before leaving the game with a shoulder injury.  Rookie Matt Flynn finished up and he looked lost completing 2 of 5 passes for 6 yards.  Ryan Grant couldn’t get anything going against the Bucs as he only rushed for 20 yards on 15 carries (1.3 ypc).  WR Greg Jennings was one of the few Packers to really play well in this game as he caught 6 passes for 109 yards (18.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs (25, 48 yards).  The Packers finished up with 28 yards rushing on 18 carries (1.6 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 32 passes for 153 yards.  The Packers only had possession of the football for 23:10 in this game and it’s almost impossible to win that way.

LB Barry Poppinga led a so-so effort by the Packers’ defense with 12 tackles.  CB Charles Woodson also had a solid game with 3 tackles and a interception that he returned 62 yards for a TD.  The Buccaneeers finished up with 178 yards rushing on 41 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 30 passes for 149 yards.  The Packers are now 2-2 on the season after this loss.
