Let's Take A Look At The Last Packer-49er Meeting

How about a look at the last meeting between the Packers & 49ers!

Score  - 49ers 34 - Packers 28

Stats:
                                      Packer Stats                                     49er Stats
Total Net Yards -                385                                                 494
Penalties                             5 - 44                                            11-85
Time of Possession            21:25                                             38:35
Total Turnovers                     2                                                    0

This one is easy!  Reverse turnovers & run the ball better & time of possession will change!

QB's
                             Aaron Rogers                           Colin Kaepernick
              21 for 37 - 333 yds, 3 TD's & 1 INT     27 for 39 - 412 yds, 3 TD's & 0 INT

To win this battle, Aaron must be good with the football, no interceptions, score in the red zone, and keep the 49er offense of the field!

Defense
Packers - Receivers Boldin & Davis killed the Pack!  Boldin 13 rec for 208 yards  and 1 TD
AND Davis 6 rec for 98 yards and 2 TD's!!!!!!

Scoring was interesting!
1st Quarter - 49ers score first then the Packers score 7-7
2nd Quarter - 49ers score first then the Packers score - halftime score 14-14
3rd Quarter - 49ers score first then the Packers score 21-21

and then the 4th Quarter - 49ers field goal & Packer TD - Packers lead 28 to 24, BUT…
49ers score TD & kick field goal to win 34 to 28.

Can our Packer defense get a 2-3 extra stops?

Drives by Packers
13 drives - 6 punts & 1 ended game.  1 drive fumble & 1 drive interception and 4 drives TD's

Drives by 49ers
13 drives - 5 punts & 1 end of half.  4 TD's, 2 Field Goals, 1 missed Field Goals

Packers Last Offensive Play Against the Bears! ONE MORE TIME!

Here we go!  ONE MORE TIME!

Here is the video with the Radio Call!

Wow!

Packers Come Up Short Against Steelers, But Packer Buddies Have Great Weekend!

The Packers have had an up & down season!  Injuries, tough loses, and CRAZY referees!

BUT, the Packer Buddies had another GREAT year!  And this was the ultimate weekend!  Snow, great game, and another NEW experience!

We wake up to snow!!  And the Packer Buddies had to get to work!!!

Great sunrise in Mishicot, Wisconsin!

Then, snow removal!

The snow removal was up early to clear the parking lot!

Breakfast in Mishicot at the Cozy Corner!!

Three of the four Packer Buddies got the steak, eggs, & biscuits - covered with gravy!

Then, onto the game!!!  The Packer Buddies cleared the seats of that wonderful snow!!!

And the traditional group shot!!!

Great weekend, difficult loss, BUT WE ARE STILL IN IT!!  Thanks - Philadelphia Eagles!

Steelers vs Packers - What To Expect?

A BIG game!  What Packers must do to win?

Defense

1 - Stop the run!
Pittsburgh Run Game Rank - 31st - 79.4 per game
Le'Veon Bell - 24th - 646 yards - 3.3 average
Packer Run Defense Rank - 25th - 123.4 per game
The Packer run defense will not have Johnny Jolly(out with shoulder injury)  Must hold the Steelers, especially on first down!  Need to tackle!!!

Pittsburgh Pass Game Rank - 11th - 260.9 per game
Antonio Brown - 3rd - 1307 yards - 8 TD's
Emmanuel Sanders - 44th - 707 yards - 5 TD's
Jerricho Cotchery -66th - 568 yards - 9 TD's
Packers Pass Defense - 22nd - 252.9 per game
The Packers need to play fast!  Unlike the Bears with their BIG receivers, the Steelers are fast!  I think Williams & Shield can handle them!  I'm worried about Cotchery, especially over the middle & he does have 9 TD's!  And they love their TE Miller, he is another concern!  The defense needs to play an entire game, not a half!

Offense

Pack Run Game Rank - 7th - 130.4 per game
Eddie Lacy - 8th - 1028 yards - 4.1 average
Steeler Run Defense Rank - 19th - 115.6 per game

Green Bay Pass Game Rank
Jordy Nelson- 12th - 1107 yards - 8 TD's
JamesJones - 47th - 692 yards - 3 TD's
Jarret Boykin - 54th - 619 yards - 2 TD's
Pittsburgh Pass Defense - 8th - 222.4 yards per game
To me this favors the Steelers, and I love Polamalu, he is a play maker!  As happened last week I think Quarless is the key.  If he catches 7-8 passes we win!

Weather looks like an issue snow!  When will it hit?  The Packer Backers will be there with their snow gear!  Come on Pack!

Next Up For Packers - Pittsburgh Steelers! Packer Buddies Will Be There!!!

What do Packer Fans have to look forward to?

1 - Playoffs still on the line!  (Thank You Baltimore Ravens & Justin Tucker)

At Eagles & Packer Game!

What we need is a Packer 4 quarter game - start to finish!  The Steelers are still playing for a very slim chance at the playoffs!  There season has been VERY similar to the Packer season.  Injuries, and inconsistent play!

Next blog entry will analyze the matchup!

See the game history - Packers lead series 19-14-0.  First game was 1933!

How Did The Packers Come Back To Beat The Cowboys?

OK, a fair question:

How Did The Packers Come Back To Beat The Cowboys?

1 - They played the Cowboys in December, with Romo at QB!
(Romo now 13-21 in December)

2 - Cowboys defense is terrible!
(#32 in the league!(There are ONLY 32 teams) giving up 427 yards a game)

3 - The Packers Made Plays!!  The Packer Offense - 5 drives in second half - 5 TD's!

Jordy Nelson!

Clay Matthews!

Sam Shields!

James Jones!

Andrew Quarless!

Tramon Williams!!

Making plays, will make a team win games!

From Christmas Carol to A 37-36 Packer Win!

What do you do when your team is playing like crap?

I turned the channel to the Christmas Carol, opened my computer and listened to the Packers Radio!

AND IT WORKED!

Packers comeback and beat the Cowboys!!!!

So, for the rest of the season it is Packer Radio for me!!!  And radio is another way to enjoy your team!!

Well, in the Christmas Carol, you know it is Scrooge!  Today Jerry Jones was Scrooge! (And for all you Cowboy fans, I think Jerry Jones is a perfect Scrooge!)

At halftime Jerry Jones took a nap and was visited by the Packer Ghost from Christmas Past - Vince Lombardi & the Ice Bowl!!!!!  Jerry was scared!!!

And then the ghost of Christmas Present, Dez Bryant!  Jerry has Dez & Dez has Jerry!  That should scare any Cowboy fan!  But it just makes Packer fans smile!!!

And then, The ghost of Christmas Future!  At halftime Aaron Rogers entered the body of Matt Flynn & WHAMP!!!  A Packer comeback for the ages!  Packers Win 37-36!

A "Packer" Christmas Carol!  A new Christmas Present for all my Packer Buddies!!!

Scrooge & Jerry Jones!!!!  The same?
