Back From Hawaiian Vacation - Analyzing Packer Win Over Bears

OK, watching football in Hawaii?  7 AM - a bowl of Cheerioes & The Green Bay Packers!

Feels different!  But, it is still football!

First, my three points before the game?


1 - Defense?  Still a work in progress?  Or, Uh Oh?

If injuries keep happening Uh-Oh!  Barrington finished for the year!  Inside Linebacker is incredibly thin!  We have Clay Matthews, Jake Ryan & Nate Palmer - that's it!!!  Practice Squad - Carl Bradford & James Vaughters!  That's it!  15 more games!  Morgan Burnett missed the game - we need his leadership!  And someone who can tackle!  The D-line held up, but gave up a giant game to Matt Forte! - 24 attempts - 141 yards - 1 TD!  WE MUST GET BETTER!

2 - My question was will James Jones help our young receivers?  Short answer NO!  Jones - 4 receptions - 51 yards - 2 TD's!  Rodgers still TRUSTS him!  This was a BIG pick-up!  Offense looked good, but MUST Stay Good!

3 - Special Teams - Average - Only needed to punt twice - 1 for 1 in Field Goals - Montgomery had a NICE return!  The Special Teams MUST flip field position & scoring would be nice!

I enjoys analyzing the drives of teams!

Packers 9 drives, but only 7 count - 2 were kneel downs to end half & game!
of the 7 drives - 4 TD's - 1 FG.  Two -  3 & out & therefore 2 punts.  31 points is good.

Bears - 8 drives, 5 scores - 2 TD's & 3 FG's - One interception (BIG) one on downs
and one punt.  This is not good, holding for 3 FG's was good!

So, this team is following the past few years - offense solid & defense?

Next, a look at our good friend the Seattle Seahawks!
