The Packers finally beat Brett Favre but it wasn’t easy.  Aaron Rodgers outplayed Favre by completing 21 of 34 passes for 295 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 14 yards (4.7 ypc) in this game.  Brandon Jackson was busy for the Packers last night as he carried the ball 13 times for 58 yards (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 3 passes for 46 yards (15.3 avg).  John Kuhn had a hard time with 7 carries for only 12 yards (1.7 ypc) rushing in this game.  James Jones (4 rec, 107 yards), Greg Jennings (6 rec, 74 yards, TD) and TE Andrew Quarless (2 rec, 16 yards, TD) led the way for the Pack in the passing game.  The Packers finished up with 84 yards rushing on 23 carries (3.7 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 35 passes for 295 yards.

The Packers’ D gave up a lot of yards last night but they also made some huge plays.  LB A.J. Hawk led the way for the Pack tonight with 11 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.  LB Desmond Bishop was the star for the Packers tonight as he had 8 tackles, 1 pass defensed and he intercepted a Brett Favre pass that he returned 32 yards for a TD.  Safety Nick Collins pitched in with 6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception.  The Vikings finished up with 196 yards rushing on 36 carries (5.4 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 29 passes for 206 yards.  The Packers are now 4-3 on the year after getting a huge win at Lambeau Field last night.

The Packers just didn’t get it done today, plain and simple.  Aaron Rodgers  started at QB and he was solid as usual in completing 18 of 33 passes for 313 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 14 yards (3.5 ypc) with a TD run.  Brandon Jackson led the way on the ground for the Packers in this game with 53 yards rushing on 12 carries (4.4 ypc).  Greg Jennings had a huge game for the Packers today with 6 grabs for 133 yards (22.2 avg) with a 86-yard TD reception.  Jordy Nelson pitched in with 4 grabs for 64 yards (16.0 avg) today.  The Packers finished up with 76 yards rushing on 21 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 33 passes for 283 yards.

The Packers didn’t play a whole lot of D today despite only giving up 23 points.  LB A.J. Hawk (13 tackles), safety Charlie Peprah (11 tackles), LB Desmond Bishop (10 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 QB hit) and CB Tramon Williams (8 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception) led the way for the Packers on D today.  The Dolphins finished up with 150 yards rushing on 39 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 39 passes for 231 yards.  The Packers are now a disappointing 3-3 on the year.

The Packers went up and down the field today but they still only put 13 points on the board and it just wasn’t enough.  Mason Crosby missed a 53-yard field goal with 1 second left in regulation as it hit the left upright.  Aaron Rodgers then threw a pickoff (LaRon Landry) in OT that set up Washington’s kicker with a 33-yard game winning field goal.  Rodgers completed 27 of 46 passes for 293 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 30 yards (7.5 ypc) today.  Brandon Jackson had by far his best game of the season for the Packers today.  He carried the ball 10 times for 115 yards (11.5 ypc) and he also caught 5 passes for 25 yards (5.0 avg) today.  John Kuhn pitched in with 3 carries for 12 yards (4.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 5 yards.  WRs James Jones (4 rec, 65 yards) and Donald Driver (4 rec, 58 yards) led the way for the Packers in the passing game today.  Jermichael Finley couldn’t go today because of injury so rookie Andrew Quarless (4 rec, 51 yards) and Donald Lee (2 rec, 22 yards, TD) filled in for him.  The Packers finished up with 157 yards rushing on 17 carries (9.2 ypc) and they also completed 27 of 46 passes for 270 yards. 

Linebacker Desmond Bishop made his first start of the year today and he led the way for them with 13 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack, 1 pass defensed and 2 QB hits.  LB A.J. Hawk (9 tackles, 1 pass defensed) and CB Tramon Williams (1 tackle, 2 passes defensed and a interception that he returned 64 yards) had solid games for the Packers’ D today.  The Redskins finished up with 51 yards rushing on 21 carries (2.4 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 49 passes for 322 yards.  The Packers are now 3-2 on the year.

Everything that could go wrong did yesterday for the Packers but they somehow prevailed in the end.  KR Jordy Nelson had a disaster of a game as he lost two fumbles.  Aaron Rodgers was so-so in this game for the Packers as he completed 12 of 17 passes for 181 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 INTs.  Brandon Jackson (9 carries, 33 yards) and John Kuhn (9 carries, 39 yards) led the way for the Packers on the ground in this game.  Donald Driver (3 rec, 89 yards), Jermichael Finley (4 rec, 36 yards) and Greg Jennings (2 rec, 25 yards) each caught 1 TD pass apiece in this game for the Packers.  The Packers finished up with 92 yards rushing on 21 carries (4.4 ypc) and they also completed 12 of 17 passes for 169 yards as they only had the ball for 22:23 yesterday.

CB Charles Woodson led the way for the Packers’ D with 13 tackles, 3 passes defensed and a interception that he returned 48 yards for a TD.  LBs A.J. Hawk (12 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception) and Nick Barnett (10 tackles and 1 QB hit) were also very busy for the Packers’ D yesterday.  The Packers are now 3-1 on the year.

The Packers killed themselves last night with penalties as they were flagged 18 times for 152 yards!  But, it was a fumble by WR James Jones late in the 4th quarter that put the Bears final, game winning drive in motion.  Aaron Rodgers was very effective in this game as he completed 34 of 45 passes for 316 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 20 yards (10.0 ypc) with 1 TD run.  John Kuhn led the way on the ground for the Packers last night with 31 yards rushing on 6 carries (5.2 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 20 yards (10.0 avg).  Brandon Jackson didn’t add much to the offense last night as he carried the ball 7 times for 12 yards (1.7 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 27 yards (6.8 avg).  TE Jermichael Finley (9 rec, 115 yards) and WRs Donald Driver (9 rec, 61 yards), James Jones (5 rec, 55 yards) and Greg Jennings (2 rec, 18 yards, TD) were all busy in the game.  The Packers finished up with 63 yards rushing on 15 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 34 of 45 passes for 316 yards.

The Packers’ D played pretty well overall in this game.  CB Tramon Williams led the way for the Packers in this game with 7 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  LB A.J. Hawk (5 tackles) and CB Charles Woodson (5 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss and 1 QB hit) also helped out on D last night.  The Bears finished up with 77 yards rushing on 18 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 27 passes for 199 yards.  The Packers are now 2-1 on the year.

The Packers destroyed the Bills yesterday in the home opener.  Aaron Rodgers was very efficient in completing 19 of 29 passes for 255 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 20 yards (4.0 ypc) with a TD run.  FB John Kuhn led the way on the ground for the Packers in this game with 9 carries for 36 yards (4.0 ypc).  Brandon Jackson couldn’t get much going on the ground in this game for the Pack as he carried the ball 11 times for 29 yards (2.6 ypc) with a TD run.  Jermichael Finley led the way in the air for the Packers yesterday as he caught 4 passes for 103 yards (25.8 avg).  WRs Donald Driver (4 rec, 38 yards, TD) and James Jones (3 rec, 32 yards, TD) both made some nice grabs in this game.  The Packers finished up with 91 yards rushing on 27 carries (3.4 ypc) and they completed 19 of 29 passes for 255 yards yesterday.

Safety Nick Collins (9 tackles, 1 pass defensed), LB Nick Barnett (9 tackles) and LB A.J. Hawk (9 tackles, 2 QB hits) all had solid games for the Pack D yesterday.  But, it was OLB Clay Matthews who was a monster again in this game with 5 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks and 5 QB hits!  He has been simply incredible this year for the Packers.  ILB Brandon Chillar and safety Morgan Burnett each pitched in with an interception apiece in this game.  The Packers are now 2-0 on the year.

The Packers raced out to a 20-3 lead in this game in the third quarter.  Then Clay Matthews knocked out Eagles’ starting QB Kevin Kolb and they Packers had to hold on for dear life as Michael Vick almost brought them all the way back.  Aaron Rodgers was so-so as he completed 19 of 31 passes for 188 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 INTs.  Ryan Grant was looking good as he carried the ball 8 times for 45 yards (5.6 ypc) before he injured his ankle.  Brandon Jackson replaced Grant as he carried the ball 18 times for 63 yards (3.5 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 12 yards.  FB John Kuhn got a couple of scraps from the table as he carried the ball 2 times for 15 yards (7.5 ypc) including a TD run.  WRs Greg Jennings (5 rec, 82 yards) and Donald Driver (5 rec, 30 yards) each caught 1 TD apiece to lead the way for the Packers’ passing game yesterday.  The Packers finished up with 132 yards rushing on 33 carries (4.0 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 31 passes for 167 yards yesterday.

Defensively OLB Clay Matthews was an absolute beast for the Packers yesterday.  He had 7 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, 1 pass defensed and 2 QB hits.  LB Brandon Chillar (7 tackles) and CB Tramon Williams (3 tackles, 3 passes defensed and 1 fumble recovery) also helped out the D big time yesterday.  The Eagles finished up with 150 yards rushing on 21 carries (7.1 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 34 passes for 171 yards.  The Packers got a hard fought win on the road yesterday as they start the 2010 season with a 1-0 record.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense put up a ton of points against the Arizona Cardinals defense, but it wasn’t enough.  The Cardinals defense was able to come up with the play of the game when Karl Dansby grabbed Rodgers’ fumble before it even hit the ground and scurried 17 yards into the endzone to win the game.  It sure was an exciting game, with both quarterbacks putting up monster numbers in what would become the highest scoring postseason game in NFL history.  Rodgers came out and was intercepted on the first play of the game, but boy did he bounce back.  He finished with 422 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 1 interception on 28/42 passes.  Down 17-0 after the first quarter, Rodgers slowly got the Packers back in the game, trading touchdown passes with Cardinals’ quarterback Kurt Warner throughout most of the game.  He opened up the 4th quarter with 2 touchdowns, which finally evened the game at 38-38.  After another Warner touchdown, Rodgers came right back and tied the game with under two minutes that eventually sent the game into overtime, where the unfortunate game-losing fumble occurred.

The Packers’ defense really let the team down in this game, even though the Cardinals were expected to score a lot of points.  Kurt Warner did pretty much whatever he wanted in the passing game, going 29/33 for 379 yards and 5 touchdowns.  Warner is a great quarterback, but the Packers should have been able to keep him under a  88% completion percentage.  Even more discouraging is that they gave up 156 rushing yards to a Cardinals team that has not run the ball well this year.  Aaron Rodgers has proven he is a top quarterback in this league, but the Packers need to give him a better offensive line and a stronger defense for him to make a Super Bowl run anytime soon.

The Green Bay Packers (11-5) and the Arizona Cardinals (10-6) will be meeting in the first round of the playoffs.  The Packers went all out and they crushed the Cards because of it.  The Cardinals were sitting a lot of their key players in a preview of their first round match-up, so this game may not tell you much about the outcome of the playoff game.  The Packers do have an advantage when it comes to rhythm, timing, and not breaking their routine.  The Cardinals will have fresher legs and have had more rest, so we will see come playoff time which has helped more.  Either way, the Packers looked very good while the Cardinals did not.

Aaron Rodgers went 21/26 for 235 yards and 1 touchdown.   Donald Driver caught 6 passes for 65 yards and the receivers were clicking well with Rodgers.  Ryan Grant and Ahman Green combined for 93 yards and 1 touchdown on 23 carries.  The Packers defense held the 187 total yards, including only 48 rushing yards.  They also forced 3 turnovers.  This was a good win for the Packers, but they cannot let this game affect how they approach the rematch in the first round of the playoffs.

The Packers totally destroyed the Seahawks at Lambeau Field yesterday.  Aaron Rodgers had a short day completing 12 of 23 passes for 237 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 9 yards.  Matt Flynn got in on the action for the Packers yesterday by completing 4 of 6 passes for 36 yards as he finished up the game.  Ryan Grant played very well yesterday before taking a seat as he carried the ball 16 times for 97 yards (6.1 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Ahman Green pitched in with 29 yards rushing on 8 carries (3.6 ypc) with a TD carry.  Brandon Jackson was very inspired when he got into the football game as he carried the ball 5 times for 20 yards (4.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 3 passes for 19 yards (6.3 avg) with a TD grab.  Greg Jennings led the way for the Packers in the passing game yesterday with 4 grabs for 111 yards (27.8 avg).  Jermichael Finley pitched in with 3 grabs for 80 yards (26.7 avg) in this game.  The Packers finished up with 417 total yards on offense (153 rushing, 264 passing) in this game.

The defense was also outstanding for the Packers yesterday.  Linebacker Nick Barnett led the way for the Packers on D yesterday with 9 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  Safety Atari Bigby was also a game changing playmaker yesterday as he finished with 7 tackles, 3 passes defensed and 2 interceptions.  A.J. Hawk pitched in with 6 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.   The Seahawks finished up with 291 total yards on offense (115 rushing, 176 passing) in this game.  The Packers are now 10-5 on the year and they have clinched a wildcard spot in the NFC.
