We Have All The Time To Ask Why, My First Look

 If you follow my blog, you know one of the first thing I look at is the Packer Drives during the game, there were 11, but only 10 count - the 5th drive was a 1 second drive before half time.  So.........

1 - Punt

2 - TD

3 - FG

4 - Interception

5 - End of Half, Packers had 1 second on clock after giving up a TD!

Half

6 - Fumble, a KILLER turnover!!

7 - TD

8 - TD

9 - Punt

10 - Punt

11 - FG, this is the final nail in the coffin, 4th & goal on the 8, take the FG, NEVR get ball back!

So, the simple analysis, with going into detail, Drive 4 - Interception, Drive 6 to open the second half, a fumble, & Drive 11, going for a field goal, and NOT the touchdown & giving the ball back to Tom Brady, Coach LaFleur, that is TOM BRADY, you know the guy with all those rings!  And, relying on the Packer Defense to get the ball back????  Young Coach, and you see the results..

More detail to come!

Packers: One Week After The Loss

 It has been a week.  My "Packer" Heart is recovering sllllllllllowly! My, analysis will come, but I am having trouble watching the game for the second time!  Until then, one week and.......

1 - Special Team Coach gone........

2 - Defensive Coordinator gone...........

3 - Aaron Rodgers Drama, never gone.......... (Still have memories of the Favre Drama!)

4 - Cap Space - hold on to your wallets!.........

5 - More to come......... still healing.............

Go Pack Go!  Still healing!

Matchups - Packers & Bucs

 Here we go, getting closer!  Key Matchups?  My eyes will be on........

1 - Packers O-line vs Bucs Inside Linebackers!

2 - Adams against Bucs secondary

3 - Rodgers vs Brady

The Packers need......

1 - 140 yards rushing

2 - Win turnover battle

3 - 31 points scored

4 - Cold & snow!!!!

OK, Time to Bring Up the Rodgers vs Brady Thing!

 The "Elephant in the Room"!  Rodgers vs Brady

First, forget the Super Bowls(Brady), the TD passes, yards, game winning touchdowns, etc.  Just, think of TWO great quarterbacks, doing their VERY best to win a football game!  They are going to battle & battle & battle!  Forget the stats, enjoy the battle!

Second, two very different styles of quarterbacks!  Brady, is old school.  The mold of Unitas, Namath, Starr, Aikman - Drop Back and chuck it.  Hit the short passes, throw a long one once and awhile and control the game!  Rodgers, more the creative, nerdy, mad scientist.  Artistic & analyzing.  And, making throws that Brady could not make!

But, Brady has a "Will to Win".  A story from this Packer fan:

The Packer Buddies had their normal end zone seats.  The opposing team was slowly entering the field to warm up before the game.  At the far end of the stadium, Brady enters, sprints down to our end zone - stairs at the Packer Fans, raises his hands, and in his eyes says, "I am going to BEAT you!"  Whoa!

By the way, Rogers & the Packers won that day!  A brief report on the game:

Nov. 30, 2014: Green Bay Packers def. New England Patriots, 26-21

The first-ever Brady vs. Rodgers matchup took place at Lambeau Field in 2014. Both teams had Super Bowl aspirations with the Patriots entering the week at 9-2 and the Packers at 8-3.

Rodgers outdueled Brady in this one, completing 24 of 38 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns. His go-to target Davante Adams finished with six catches for 121 receiving yards, and both Jordy Nelson and Richard Rodgers contributed TDs in Green Bay's victory.

Brady completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 245 yards and two touchdowns, both of which were caught by wideout Brandon LaFell. Running back Brandon Bolden also scored.

So, Brady is 2 wins and 1 loss versus Rodgers.  Of course, earlier this year:

Oct. 18, 2020: Tampa Bay Buccaneers def. Green Bay Packers, 38-10

and, 

Nov. 4, 2018: New England Patriots def. Green Bay Packers, 31-17

Now, what will happen this Sunday?  WOW!  This is fun!

Packers vs. Bucs, First a Look at the Bucs Loses

 The Bucs Lost to:

Week 1 - Saints 34-23

Week 5 - Bears 20-19

Week 9 - Saints 38-3

Week 11 - Rams 27-24

Week 12 - Chiefs 27-24

So, the Bucs can lose!  And, the Packers can win!

But first, the subject that needs to be addressed!  The Packers losing to the Bucs 38-10.

As I always do, the Packers Drives:

1 - Field Goal

2 - Touchdown - End of first quarter, Packers ahead 10 - 0.

3 - Interception

4 - Interception

5 - 3 & out Punt

6 - 3 & out Punt

7 - End of half - Bucs 28 - 10  That is a 2nd Quarter that needs to be looked at!

8 - 3 & out Punt

9 - 9 Plays - Punt

10 - 3 & out

11 - 6 Plays - Punt

12 - 3 & out Punt

A game to forget, but analyzed!

Packers Over Rams, Next Up Bucs!

 NFL Playoffs are always filled with stories, and a mixture of past and future dreams!  Here are just a few to thinks about this week , before the "Final Four" take the field.

1 - Aaron Rodgers - his first NFC Championship Game at HOME on Lambeau Field!  On the path tis a second Super Bowl Ring - like Bart Starr & one more Than Brett Favre!  On the way to another MVP?

2 - Tom Brady - here we go, Patriots without Brady, Brady on Bucs, will he win ANOTHER Super Bowl?

3 - Patrick Mahomes - first, will he play after a concussion?  Will he win back to back Super Bowls?  With this be the "State Farm" Super Bowl?  Rodgers vs Mahomes?

4 - Josh Allen - "Buffalo Mafia"!  A fan base starving for a Super Bowl.  A team with 4 Super Bowl appearance & 4 loses!

5 - Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Bucs, Kansas City Chiefs, & Buffalo Bills?  All franchises with NFL stories, which team will end the year with a win?

For now, enjoy the win!!  The Packers win another playoff victory & MORE to come!

Go Pack Go!

What Do YOU Think About the Packer & Rams Playoff Game?

 OK, all numbers aside, all match ups asides, all experts aside, what does your GUT tell you!

1 - Overall, GOOD!  Why?  Aaron Rodgers has been in a HAPPY place all year.  Davante Adams is having a fantastic season, and looks super confident!  Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams, & AJ Dillion, are MORE than adequate to have a big game!  Tonyan, has become a top NFL tight end!  And, the offensive line has been GOOD & Versatile!  

2 - The Defense is beginning to develop to players!  All Pro type players - Alexander, Z Smith, Clark & Savage.  They need to keep improving, and a playoff game is JUST what they need!

3 - Packers are DUE - it has been 10 years!  And, a fifth Super Bowl is what Aaron Rodgers needs to guarantee his legacy, a fifth Super Bowl would be a great gift in this CRAZY year for Packer fans & football, and, MY PACKERS BUDDIES WOULD LOVE IT!!!!!

AND, Vince would LOVE 

another Super Bowl!!!!
