Packers Win Over Chiefs, Game #8

We wait all year for the NFL season and then, in the blink of an eye, it is over!  The Packer season is at the half way point!  A new coach, a young GM, a veteran QB!  A defense that is finding a personality.  An offense, that is developing new heroes.  Every NFL team is either trending up or down.  I think it is obvious the direction of the Green Bay Packers are trending!  BUT, one thing about the NFL, you can never stop working!

Packers 34 - Chiefs 27, what did we learn in week 8?

1 - The Packers found a way to win again.  The bottom line is winning, that is the ONLY stat that matters in the NFL!  And, with the Chiefs down their star QB, their veteran coach gave the Packers all they could handle!  And, the Packers rookie coach responded.  Result - Packers 8 wins - 1 loss.

2 - Aaron Jones - a special running back!  67 yards rushing & 159 yards receiving & 2 TD's.
     (And, Jamaal Williams is not bad either!)

3 - Defense is a bend, not break group.  Big plays are part of a weekly story.  This week, Tyler Lancaster (love that name, living in Lancaster, PA), causes & recovers a BIG fumble!

4 - The young receivers are still making plays! Kumerow, Allison, Lazard, Valdes-Scantling.

5 - The young d-backs are still making plays!  Alexander, King, Savage, Sullivan.

6 - Aaron Rodgers, being Aaron Rodgers!

The atmosphere has been great.  Smith brothers are leading the way.  The young head coach is
developing a foothold in Lambeau.  There are 8 games remaining and good & bad times ahead.  Let us see how this 2019 group responds!  One guarantee, it will NOT be boring!!

Next up, San Diego, Los Angeles Chargers!
