The Packers were winning this football game 38-10 at the half but it took a Ruvell Martin kickoff return for a TD with 33 seconds left in the game to seal this win.  Aaron Rodgers was outstanding in this game as he completed 14 of 19 passes for 258 yards with 3 TD passes.  Brian Brohm finished up this game by completing 4 of 5 passes for 45 yards.  Ryan Grant led the way on the ground for the Packers in this game with 22 yards on five carries (4.4 ypc).  WR Jordy Nelson (3 rec, 88 yards, TD) and TE Jermichael Finley (4 rec, 28 yards, 2 TDs) led the way in the passing game for the Packers in this game.  The Packers only had the ball for 26:23 of this football game but the still rolled up 408 total yards on offense (123 rushing, 285 passing).

CB Charles Woodson was all over the field in this game as he finished with 4 tackles, 2 sacks and he recovered a fumble.  Linebacker Desmond Bishop was also very active as he led the Packers with 9 tackles in this game.  The Cardinals finished up with a stunning 563 total yards of offense in this game (108 rushing, 455 passing).

Green Bay Packers 31, Buffalo Bills 21

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.

The Packers rushed out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter and then it seemed as if they called off the dogs.  Aaron Rodgers was sharp in this game completing 5 of 10 passes for 102 yards with 1 TD pass.  Matt Flynn was also effective completing 5 of 6 passes for 50 yards in this game.  Brian Brohm finished up this game and he was simply awful completing 3 of 10 passes for 18 yards with 2 interceptions.  Undrafted rookie Tyrell Sutton was outstanding for the Packers in this game rushing for 91 yards on 16 carries (5.7 ypc).  Donald Driver only caught 1 pass but it was a doozy going for 53 yards and it was a TD.  The Packers rushed for a stunning 230 yards on 47 carries (4.9 ypc).  The also threw for 162 yards and held onto the football for a stunning 39:56 of this game!

The defense was flat out dominating for the Packers in this game holding the Browns to 191 total yards on offense (59 rushing, 132 passing).  Linebacker Desmond Bishop and safety Anthony Smith each had 4 tackles, a sack and a interception in this game.  Safety Charlie Peprah and CB Tramon Williams each picked off a pass in this game.  The only disappointment in this game was that the Packers only won by 17 points.

The Packers did not play very well in this football game but it appeared that they weren’t trying to win this game as hard as the Titans who played a lot of the regulars in this game.  Aaron Rodgers only threw one pass in this game but it was a darn good one as Greg Jennings caught it and scored on a 68-yard pass play.  Brian Brohm had another game to forget as he completed 7 of 12 passes for 52 yards but he fumbled 3 times, losing one of them.  Matt Flynn played much better than Brohm once again as he completed 8 of 13 passes for 77 yards with 2 TD passes.  He also carried the football 2 times for 27 yards (13.5 ypc).  Punter John Ryan was the leading rusher on the Packers in this game with 34 yards on 1 carry.  Kregg Lumpkin was very busy in this game with 27 yards rushing on 10 carries (2.7 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 33 yards (8.3 avg).  Noah Herron pitched in with 25 yards rushing on 4 carries (6.3 ypc) in this game.  The Packers finished up with 116 yards rushing on 21 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 26 passes for 150 yards.  The Packers only had possession of the football for 23:15 in this game and it’s darn hard to win that way.

Linebackers Tracy White and Abdul Hodge led the way for the Packers’ defense in this game with 9 tackles apiece.  Safety Tyrone Culver also had a solid game with 6 tackles and a interception that he returned 30 yards.  The Titans finished up with 206 yards rushing on 40 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 38 passes for 197 yards.  The Packers finished up the preseason 1-3 but they did get some valuable reps for the young QBs which was important.

Green Bay Packers 27, Denver Broncos 24

The Green Bay Packers looked pretty good against the Broncos in Denver last Friday Night.  Aaron Rodgers was razor sharp completing 18 of 22 passes for 193 yards with a 10-yard TD pass to Donald Driver.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 5 yards (1.7 ypc) including a 1-yard TD run.  Brian Brohm wasn’t in this game long as he was 0 for 4 passing before getting yanked.  Fellow rookie QB Matt Flynn finished up the game completing 2 of 2 passes for 2 yards.  Kregg Lumpkin led the way for the Packers with 39 yards rushing for 11 carries (3.5 ypc) with a 1-yard TD run.  Noah Herron also had a solid game rushing for 27 yards on 4 carries (6.8 ypc).  Brandon Jackson pitched in with 19 yards rushing on 8 carries (2.4 ypc).  Greg Jennings was the leading receiver for the Packers on Friday Night with 4 catches for 42 yards (10.5 avg).  Donald Driver pitched in with 2 catches for 33 yards (16.5 avg) with a TD grab.  The Packers finished up this game with 94 yards rushing on 32 carries (2.9 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 28 passes for 187 yards.

Linebacker Barry Poppinga and safety Aaron Rouse led the way for the Packers with 5 tackles apiece.  The Broncos finished up with 131 yards rushing on 28 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 33 passes for 190 yards.  This was a good win for the Packers after last week’s debacle against the Niners.

San Francisco 49ers 34, Green Bay Packers 6

If the Packers didn’t want to play last Saturday Night they should have just stayed at home.  Aaron Rodgers wasn’t nearly as sharp as he was in the preseason opener as he completed 9 of 16 passes for 58 yards.  Brian Brohm looked lost again as he completed 4 of 9 passes for 33 yards and he also lost a fumble.  Matt Flynn also had issues against the 49ers as he completed 5 of 6 passes for 33 yards but he fumbled twice losing 1 of them.  The offensive line was not getting off of the football as the Niners sacked Packers’ QBs six times in this game.  RB Kregg Lumpkin led the Packers in rushing in this game with 51 yards on 10 carries (5.1 ypc).  Noah Herron was also very solid with 35 yards rushing on 6 carries (5.8 ypc).  Brandon Jackson pitched in with 10 yards rushing on 3 carries (3.3 ypc).  Donald Driver caught 3 passes to lead the way for the Packers but he only had 15 yards receiving.  The Packers finished up with 101 yards rushing (4.4 ypc) and they completed 18 of 31 passes for only 81 yards.  That was an awful display of offensive football for the Packers.

Linebacker Brandon Chillar led a disppointing effort on defense with 7 tackles for the Packers.  The 49ers finished up with 118 yards rushing on 35 carries (3.4 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 34 passes for 237 yards.  The special teams also let the Packers down in this game as Allen Rossum returned a punt 67 yards for a TD.  The Packers are lucky that this was just a preason game because they looked awful against the 49ers.

The Packers played too well last night to lose but that’s exactly what they did despite outgaining the Bengals 383-241!  Aaron Rodgers made his debut as the starting QB and he looked pretty good completing 9 of 15 passes for 117 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Brian Brohm didn’t look too good as he was the only QB on the Packers that didn’t excel as he completed 8 of 17 passes for 70 yards with 1 interception.  Fellow rookie Matt Flynn followed Brohm and he almost brought the Packers all the way back.  He completed 12 of 21 passes for 97 yards with a TD pass to RB Kregg Lumpkin.  Brandon Jackson got the start last night at RB and he looked good carrying the ball 6 times for 44 yards (7.3 ypc).  Kregg Lumpkin also had a solid game as he carried the ball 7 times for 36 yards (5.1 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 20 yards including a 11-yard strike for a TD in the 4th quarter from Matt Flynn.  Noah Herron was busy rushing for 17 yards on 4 carries (4.3 ypc) and catching 2 passes for 11 yards.  Dexter Wynn didn’t have his best game rushing for 10 yards on 4 carries (2.5 ypc).  James Jones led the Packers in receiving yards with 44 on 3 catches (14.7 avg) with a TD grab from Aaron Rodgers.  Donald Driver pitched in with 4 receptions for 39 yards (9.8 avg) last night.  The Packers finished up with 112 yards rushing on 22 carries (5.1 ypc).  They also completed 29 of 53 passes for 271 yards last night.

Linebackers Abdul Hodge and Tracy White led the way for the Packers with 6 tackles apiece.  DE Jason Hunter also had a solid game with 5 tackles and a sack.  Safety Aaron Rouse pitched in with 4 tackles and a interception last night.  The Bengals finished up with 123 yards rushing on 33 carries (3.7 ypc).  They also completed 14 of 27 passes for 118 yards as the Packers were impressive on defense last night.

Tennessee Titans 30, Green Bay Packers 14

The Packers only had a couple of bright spots Thursday Night against the Titans.  Brett Favre was the sharpest he’s been in the pre-season as he connected on 8 of 10 passes for 82 yards and a TD.  Aaron Rodgers followed with his worst performance of a good pre-season as he completed 3 of 7 passes for 35 yards.  The #3 QB was Paul Thompson and he completed 6 of 9 passes for 37 yards.  Rookie RB DeShawn Wynn was finally ready to play so the Packers made him work for his paycheck as he carried the football 21 times for 54 yards (2.6 ypc).  Rookie wideout James Jones continued to impress with 5 catches for 37 yards (7.4 avg).  The Packers offense was pretty bad Thursday Night as they finished with only 61 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.3 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 26 passes for 135 yards.

The defense and special teams both had issues against the Titans.  Still, it was nice to see DT Justin Harrell have a good game as he made 4 tackles and recovered a fumble that he returned 18 yards for a TD.  The Titans scored on a 70 yard punt return by rookie WR Chris Davis.  The Titans also rushed for 152 yards on 32 carries (4.8 ypc) and they completed 20 of 28 passes for 164 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars 21, Green Bay Packers 13

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,The Pre-Season by dawgpounded on Friday 24 August 2007 at 11:03 am

The Packers looked good for the most part last night despite the loss. Brett Favre looked sharp completing 14 of 20 passes for 130 yards. Aaron Rodgers also was sharp completing 6 of 9 passes for 82 yards. Third stringer Ingle Martin has his troubles as he completed 2 of 3 passes for 6 yards but he threw an interception in the 4th quarter that Jaguars’ linebacker Brian Iwuh returned 24 yards for a TD. Corey White ran the football real well as he continues to make a bid to make the opening day roster of the Packers. He carried the ball 11 times for 60 yards (5.5 ypc). Rookie halfback Brandon Jackson found the yards tough to get against the Jaguars’ starting defenders as he carried the football 11 times for 20 yards (1.8 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 4 passes for 23 yards (5.8 avg). Rookie James Jones continued his fine pre-season with 6 more catches for 80 yards (13.3 avg). Donald Driver pitched in with 3 catches for 27 yards (9.0 avg) but he left the field on a cart due to a ankle injury. The Packers finished the game rushing for 84 yards on 25 carries (3.4 ypc) and they completed 22 of 32 passes for 177 yards.

The defense was physical as evidenced by the vicious hit that rookie linebacker Desmond Bishop leveled WR Reggie Williams with that took his helmet off. The Jaguars rushed for 104 yards on 26 carries (4.0 ypc) and they completed 15 of 28 passes for 208 yards.
