Without Clay Matthews the Packer Defense Sacks the Lions playoff hopes!

Green Bay 24 Detroit 20

Maybe not what we expected but again, a win is a win is a win. All is well that ends well and in the end Aaron Rodgers threw his second touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with 1:55 to play to lift visiting Green Bay to its fifth consecutive victory.

I knew the Offense could struggle a bit vs that Lions front four without Bryan Bulaga. We continue to try to run the ball but can only muster 3 yards per carry even with James Starks back. Thankfully we did enough to win and nobody else was injured. Still, we are so thin on the OL that another injury there could spell doom.

When it came down to the drive with just minutes left down 20-14 there was no doubt in my mind that Aaron Rodgers would find a way to win it, and he did. Therefore he gets my game MVP over Randall Cobb who deserves it again. It seems like Rodgers deserves it almost every week and does not get it, therefore this one goes to Aaron.

The Special Teams gives us a lot to be happy about yet again EXCEPT for Mason Crosby who nearly lost the game for us. The Packers won't be replacing him so we must just all hope that he gains back his confidence in time to help the Packers win these big upcoming games. I never thought Jarrett Bush would become this good of a player but please Packers, keep him on Special Teams where he knows what he is doing.

The Defense flat out won this game for us. Without Clay Matthews and still no Charles Woodson, the Defense held a good Offense to just 20 points and at the end when forced to stop Megatron one more time they did it!  There is a lot of deserving guys again this week for the Defensive game MVP but M.D. Jennings brought back one of the picks 72 yards for a score. When you get a pick 6 you usually win, he really picked up the slack for the Offense in this one.

With the 49ers blowing out the Bears tonight as I expected, here are the Current NFC North standings: 

Packers 7-3 

Bears 7-3 

Vikings 6-4 

Lions 4-6 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Monday Night that has become Infamous!

Yes, we were "SCREWED IN SEATTLE" on an "INACCURATE RECEPTION" but so what! The Seahawks win the game (but did not beat) over the Packers 14-12 on a Touchdown that everyone agrees should not have been a Touchdown. I am not upset, I am not hurt, we just made history. It is very important in life to look at the bright side of every situation. Lets look at it like this Packer fans!

The Offensive struggles are because of Offensive Line trouble that will be corrected.
The Packer Defense is solid this season!!!
We won't lose many games this season so this one loss won't keep us out of the playoffs
There is now a good chance that the real referees will be back soon now after this historic mistake!

Offensive player of the game is Mason Crosby because I don't do one for special teams and he is the only member of the offense that did not screw up.

On Defense there are many to choose from. I won't give it to M.D. Jennings because he should have KNOCKED IT DOWN, he did not need to intercept it like he did. I am going with Sam Shields, he was in perfect position to make a play on that ball until he was pushed out of the way illegally and overall he played a really solid game. The whole defense is looking better!
