Packers @ Seahawks

Finally getting some time away from the new job I am going to break down some goods and bads from last nights game.

After the first kick off I sent silver fox a text saying "Starting out on the 15 yard line?"  That is unheard of! This got me really excited to see how the special teams would do the rest of the game. Well we all found out very quickly that the first kick was a fluke. The Special Teams is by far the biggest concern of our football team. Giving up that much yardage in the battle for field position is not going to win ball games.

Not as bad but not much better was our pass defense. Every other play seemed to be for 17 or 18 yards with a floater between the Line Backers and the Defensive Backs. QB's are going to pick us apart. A lot of this could be credited to all the starters that sat out this game. The pass rush needs to pick it up. I don't know if this is due to Capers holding back the good stuff for when the season starts, or if we are just not going to be able to get to the Quarterback. Only time will tell.

Before I get into how good the Offense looked I just want to throw Breno Giacomini under the bus. He missed an easy block that would have resulted in a Brandon Jackson first down. Those are the kind of plays that players like Breno have to make if they want to make the team.

When your first play on offense is a beautiful 57 yard bomb it automatically changes the tempo of the game. It almost assures you that you are going to get points on the board (I say almost because as right down the middle as Crosby's kicks were last night you just never know) and puts pressure on the other teams Offense. I was surprised to see Grant on the field after last weeks shot to the head. One thing is for sure is that he is getting better at the screen game, if he can catch the ball and use his blockers the way he did last night he will be dangerous. Who is going to stop Finley this year? This guy is going to be mismatch heaven for Rodgers all year long. The thing that has been most exciting is the play of the line. No way will Rodgers see the ground as much as he did last year. Bulaga is proving to be a starter, he just locks on to his man and no one is going to get around him.

We play the Colts Thursday and traditionally week 3 is the week that we get to see a little more play from the starters, it should be a fun game to watch. Over all the Packers are looking good and are going to have a chance to win every Sunday.
