Packers in good position after the bye but injuries must stop!

The Packers continue to suffer from injuries but continue to keep winning which is all that matters. Even though his completion percentage was under 50, which rarely happens to Aaron Rodgers, he still threw four Touchdown passes. Randall Cobb caught two of them and again earns my award for MVP on Offense. Both Alex Green and James Starks ran well giving the Packers something close to a real running game. Tom Crabtree had a huge Touchdown and an outstanding block on Special Teams which he just got fined for which is just wrong.

The Defense also had it's share of candidates:

Ryan Pickett: It seems like week after week, Ryan Pickett wades in against 625 pounds of double-team blocking, seldom gets turned or displaced and many more times than not makes sure both of the O-linemen stay on him instead of getting to the second level. 

B.J. Raji had some strong bull rushes against the weak middle of the Arizona line but wasn't able to finish, partially because his bad ankle limits his ability to make sharp cuts. 

Mike Neal powered past LG Daryn Colledge for a sack and a knockdown

Mike Daniels beat the former Packer for a sack, too. It's just so much easier walking back Colledge than most guards. I am giving my Defensive MVP to him because it was a very impressive play at a very important time in the game. The rookies continue to contribute to this team.

The Special Teams was impressive again and the team overall only had one penalty in this game. Mike McCarthy said he would clean things up and he does not disappoint. It seems like he should be coach of the year every season!

The 31-17 score did not say enough about how great both teams really played this game. Anyway, the packers are 6-3 now, every team has played at least 9 games and if the season were to end now the Pack would be in. Trailing the Bears by only one game now I really am looking forward to re-claiming the top spot when the Packers play at Chicago on December 16.
