The Packers were dominating in this game in the first half as they led 24-0 at the break before letting the Bills back in the game a bit.  Aaron Rodgers was incredible completing 8 of 9 passes for 98 yards with 2 TD passes.  Matt Flynn made a very brief appearance completing 1 of 2 passes for 13 yards.  Brian Brohm was not really that effective in this game completing 12 of 19 passes for 83 yards with 1 interception.  Undrafted rookie RB Tyrell Sutton had another huge game rushing for 49 yards on 11 carries (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Ryan Grant was also effective carrying the ball 10 times for 43 yards (4.3 ypc) with a TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg).  TE Jermichael Finley (3 rec, 46 yards) and WR Kole Heckendorf (3 rec, 30 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Packers in this game.  The Packers finished up with 292 yards of total offense in this game (108 rushing, 184 passing).  The Packers would have likely had about double that total if the starters played the whole game.

The Packers’ D played good in the first half before the scrubs came in.  LB Brady Poppinga was everywhere for the Packers in this game as he had 2 tackles, recovered a fumble and he picked off a pass.  CBs Joe Porter and Tramon Williams each had 7 tackles apiece to pace the Packers’ D.  The Bills finished up with 363 total yards on offense (90 rushing, 273 passing) but most of it came in garbage time.
