The 2016 NFL season is officially underway! What do we take from this game?
1 - A Victory! The MOST important thing in the NFL is not style points, time of possession, yards, touchdowns, or quarterback sacks, it is winning! And the Packers are 1-0!
2 - A ROAD victory is even better!
3 - I know it is dangerous & injuries happen, but I still think the Packer starters should play more minutes in the pre-season.
4 - Packer Offense Here are the Packer Drives:
Drive 1 - 7 Plays - TD
Drive 2 - 3 & out - Punt
Drive 3 - 3 & out - Punt
Drive 4 - 3 & out - Punt
Drive 5 - 9 Plays - TD
Drive 6 - 6 Plays - TD
Halftime
Drive 7 - 14 Plays - FG
Drive 8 - 19 Plays - FG
Drive 9 - 3 Plays - Punt
Drive 10 - End of Game
Really, 9 drives - 3 TD's, 2 FG's, 4 Punts. Trouble is drives 2-4, that is three 3 & outs in a row! The other drives, very efficient! Especially, Drive #8, only ended up in 3 points, but did chew up most of the second half! And, NO turnovers!
5 - Packer Defense. Here are the Jaguar Drives:
Drive 1 - 5 Plays & Interception
Drive 2 - 9 Plays - Punt
Drive 3 - 3 Plays TD
Drive 4 - 13 Plays FG
Drive 5 - 7 Plays - TD
Drive 6 - 1 Play - End of Half
Halftime
Drive 7 - 10 Plays - FG
Drive 8 - 15 Plays - FG
Drive 9 - 12 Plays - Downs
Interception was big on the first drive! Holding a team to FG's is always good, Jags had 3! We gave up some big plays, BUT remember, the Jaguars led the NFL in plays over 20 yards last year!
So, what other things did we learn?
Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers, that is GOOD!
We did not miss Josh Sitton. (Not yet)
We gave up one sack, and that was an Aaron scramble & he was tackled for 0 gain.
Rollins had a difficult game at corner, BUT made that BIG Play at the end of the game!
Our new punter did well! 4 Punts for 42.5 yards per punt. I returned for 14 yards.
Lacy 14 carries - 61 yards. An average start.
Jordy 6 receptions - & a TD!
Packers 3 sacks ^ The "Clay"maker had one! (But, Peppers was invisible!)
Next up - The VIKINGS, in their NEW HOUSE! Ohhhhhhh Baby!
