Packers Catch The Dolphins At The Wire - 27-24!

A close one!  A win!

In the NFL the ONLY statistic of any value is wins and loses!  The Pack have 4 wins & 2 loses, still tied for 1st Place in the NFC North division.

I always love to analyze the drives of the Packers.  So, here they are…………..

Drive#1  - Q-1  - 9 Plays - 80 yards - Result - TD
Drive#2  - Q-1  - 6 Plays - 5 yards - Result - Blocked Punt
Drive#3  - Q-1  - 9 Plays - 31 yards - Result - Punt

First quarter it is ALWAYS nice when the 1st drive is a TD!  But, as in many of the Pack games this year, an early turnover with a blocked punt, NOT GOOD.  The Packers cannot give the opposition a free gift in the first quarter!

Drive#4  - Q-2  - 6 Plays - 11 yards - Result - FG
Drive#5  - Q-2  - 6 Plays - 11 yards - Result - Punt
Drive#6  - Q-2  - 6 Plays - 20 yards - Result - Punt
Drive#7  - Q-2  - 1 Plays - -1 yards - Result - Kneel Down - End of Half

The second quarter, the Packer defense was playing great football.  The offense COULD have put the Dolphins in a BIG hole, BUT they left them in the game!!  No points for Packer Offense!

Drive#8  - Q-3  - 13 Plays - 80 yards - Result - TD

Good news, ONE drive in the 3rd quarter for the Pack, one TD!  BAD news, that means the Dolphins had a long drive also!!!  Each team had one TD!!!

Drive#9  - Q-4  - 3 Plays - 1 yards - Result - Punt
Drive#1  - Q-4  -11 Plays - 68 yards - Result - FG
Drive#1  - Q-4  - 11 Plays - 60 yards - Result - TD  Game Winner!

THE BEST NEWS!  Last Packer drive, Rogers engineers a good ahead, game winning drive!!  BAD NEWS, Dolphins outscored us 14-10, in the last period!

So, what do we stop?
Blocked Punts!
Drives that will put away the opponent when the defense is rocking!

But, a win is a win!!!
