19-13 Win

Off the Favre to Jennings game winning hookup the Packers get their 1st overtime road win since 1983 and the 1st George Bush's vice presidency.

  1. The Packers have never been a good tackling team to my eye. This showed up on the Broncos last drive as numerous Packers missed tackles and let the Broncos get within an accuate Jay Cutler pass of winning.
  2. A.J. Hawk. I'm not saying he's a bust or bench him. I am saying that he is a disapointment and isn't seen doing much. Barnett 6 tackles, 3 for Hawk
  3. For a nite there was a running game and it's name was Ryan Grant. Packers ran 27 times and passed 28. Wynn once again was hurt. For that's it with him. Let's activate Brandon Jackson and let Wynn be on the bench right from the start- he's going to end up there anyway. FYI after the game Grant was named the starter for the KC game.
  4. Red zone offensive penalties are becoming common, especially from the offensive line. Holding, false starts etc. Tony Moll and Chad Clifton gained false starts on the 1st drive that ended up as a FG. Packers should have been up at least 17-7 at half. Jason Spitz gets demerits for all his penalties. For the game they were 0-2 in the red zone and 0-2 goal to go. More success there would have been nice!
  5. As does Atari Bigby for his nite of multitudonous penalties. I think he's the best tacklet they've had in sometime, but last nite didn't cut it. He had a late hit flag and a pass interference on Denver's TD drive. 1/4 (6 of 24) of the Broncos 1st downs came because of penalties. Total penalties 13 for 103 yards!
  6. The 2 TD's came from James Jones and Greg Jennings. I think the offense is becoming there's and not Drivers. Jennings and Jones combined for 9 balls, the rest of the team had 12.
  7. Going into the game I thought Cutler would be good for a pick or two. Instead it was a fumbled center exchange that took at least 3 and probably 7 points off the board.
  8. Loved the announcers talking about how Favre in pre game threw from the 50 yard line to an end zone pylon to prove his arm strength. More on that later (in the game) so to speak.
  9. During the game the announcers said Bailey and Blye were the best pair of cover corners in the league. Then Jones beat Bailey, and Jennings got by Blye for the game winner. I think I'll take Harris and Woodson who looked great in those high white socks. Yes penalties occur but they don't give up much although Harris had some problems on the last drive.
  10. Why does Coach McCarthy stick a Sharpie under the strap at the back of his cap? Not enough pockets. Eccentric? Does it matter?
