Super Bowl XLVI

The New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 21-17 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana last night.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Early on in the game it appeared in would be the Giant's ball game. Giants' Eli Manning proved the he truly among the elite quarterbacks scoring a touchdown to WR Victor Cruz.

During the second quarter the Patriots got fired up, sacked Eli Manning twice and scored a touchdown from a pass from QB Tom Brady to WR Danny Woodhead. Halftime score was 10-9

Halftime show featured Madonna. I don't care for her music, but I'll admit for a 53 year old woman, she still can put on some nice dance moves. Then the controversy over M.I.A.'s giving the bird during the show is quite ludicrous. C'mon now, do we have to go through another wardrobe malfunction fiasco like we did in 2004? This a family show folks, leave the obscenities a real concert. No wonder why the NFL hires classic rock bands for the halftime entertainment. It would suit me just fine anyways...

Second half of the game the Patriots started strong with a 12 yard touchdown from Brady to Aaron Hernandez. A pair of field goals from the Giants kept the score close.

The final score of the game came at less than two minutes left. New York's RB Ahmad Bradshaw ran in a 6 yard touchdown.

Try as he might, with 57 seconds left to play, Tom Brady just couldn't win the game for New England. The final score-21-17.

Oh yeah, I thought the best commercials were the Coke Cola polar bears...

Packers NFC Divisional Playoff

The Green Bay Packers season ended today with a loss the New York Giants 37-20 today at Lambeau Field.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Early in the game the Giants made it clear that it was their time to shine, scoring first.

The Packers wouldn't give up especially Aaron Rodgers, who ran for yardage quite a bit.

The strong defense of the Giants forced the the Packers to turnover the ball four times during the game.

Dropped passes, blown coverages and missed tackles did it in for the Pack.

The Giants' QB Eli Manning was hot. He went 21 0f 33 for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a "Hail Mary"of the end of the first half.

More on the game here.

All in all it was an excellent season for the Packers. They only lost two games total... Better luck next year!

Packers Week #17

The Green Bay Packer beat the Detroit Lions 45-41 in the last regular season game this afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

With nothing at stake in this game, the Packers rested up some key players like all star QB Aaron Rodgers, DB Matthew Clay, S Charles Woodsen and WR Greg Jennings.

It appeared early in the game that the Lions were going to take advantage of the Packers' second string by taking the lead.

Enter the Packers' backup QB, Matt Flynn who set franchise records with with 480 yards passing and six touchdowns., proving himself a very reliable back up to Rodgers.

It became a shoot out of a game, both teams exchanging leads throughout the game.

The Lions' QB Matthew Stafford, who threw for 520 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions was exceptional.

The Packers have ended their regular season with a 15-1 record. The have a first round playoff bye.

Packers Week #16

Just got home minutes prior to the game from being Up North with my family. Anyways, the Green Bay Packers beat their NFC rivals, the Chicago Bears 35-21 at Lambeau Field tonight.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

The Packers struck first, scoring with a 2 yard pass from Aaron Rodgers to Jermicheal Finley on their first drive.

After that, much of the first half was dominated by the Bears' running game. As good as it was, they only gained three points off a field goal.

The second half of the game, the Pack took over. Their defense tightened up with two interceptions and an exploding offense. The ending result was five touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers, two each to receivers James Jones and Jordy Nielson.

The Bears have lost five games in the row since losing their star QB Jay Cutler with a broken thumb. They have no chance to making the playoffs.

The Packers are 14-1 and have chinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Packers Week #15

I can't believe myself. The Green Bay Packers lost to the lowly Kansas City Chiefs 19-14 at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Kansas City looked impressive through out the game, especially on the run..

It was QB Kyle Orton's first start for Kansas City. He threw 23 of 31 passes for 299 yards.

MVP Aaron Rodgers did worse, throwing 17 of 35 passes for 235 yards.

This was by far the most sloppy playing the Packers did ALL season long. Too damn many dropped passes ans penalties.

The Packers loss snapped a winning streak of 19 games dating to last year.

The Packers are now 13-1 and still are in the hunt for home field advantage through out the playoffs.

More on the game here.

Packers Week #14

The Green Bay Packers easily manhandled the Oakland Raiders 46-16 this afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Here are my thoughts of the game:

The Packers made it look easy against the Raiders...

Rodgers threw for 281 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in less than three full quarters' worth of work. Back up QB Matt Flynn filled in the forth quarter to rest up Aaron Rodgers. By then the score was 43-7

As opposed to Oakland's QB Carl Palmer- threw for 245 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions.

The only downside of the Packers' win was a knee injury to one of the Packers' many talented receivers Greg Jennings.

The Packers are now 13-0.

Packers Week #13

The Green Bay Packers beat the New York Giants 38-35 in this nail biter of a game at the Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

As I predicted, the Packers had their greatest battle of the season against the exceptional Giants.

Both teams seemed evenly matched at times exchanging leads.

Aaron Rodgers threw 28 of 46 for 369 yards and 4 touchdowns. Yet, he was sacked 3 times and threw one interception. (His fifth, all season).

Linebacker Clay Matthews also returned an interception 38 yards for a score in the second quarter.

The game came down to the wire when Packer kicker Mason Crosby kicked a 31 yard field goal at the last second to win the game.

The Packers are now 12-0 and cliched a spot in the playoffs.

Packers Week #12 Turkeys and Touchdowns

My girlfriend had to work this morning, so I up ended with the task of making the turkey. Never made a turkey before, so this is a whole new experience for me. She did leave instructions on how to do it. So I think I'll manage... (I hope so)

Hours later, it's beginning to smell like Thanksgiving around here. The aroma of the turkey that is roasting in the oven is filling up my apartment sending pangs of hunger in my stomach. After spending time this morning stuffing an empty cavity of a deceased bird, I'm feeling hopeful. So far, so good...no smoke either...

The Green Bay Packers did route the Detroit Lions 27-15 this afternoon at the Ford Stadium. Here are my thoughts of the game...

The game was ugly and sloppy in the first half. A mostly defensive game filled with penalties.

In the second half, the Packers overcame their blunders and mental mistakes and stared playing real football. The Lions, however didn't.

Defensive back Ndamukong Suh of the Lions was ejected from the game for stepping on Evan Dietrich-Smith's arm in the third quarter. He could face a possible suspension.

Lions' Matthew Stafford threw three interceptions during the game. Hey, Aaron Rodgers only threw four during the ENTIRE season!

The Packers are 11-0 now. Still undefeated for the first time in franchise history...

More on the game here.

I hope everybody out there that is reading this is having a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love you all!

Packers Week #11

The Green Bay Packers held off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-26 at Lambeau field this afternoon.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Aaron Rodgers didn't have a great of a game he normally does, yet when it counted he still shines.

Rodgers threw 23 of 34 passes for 299 yards, 3 touchdowns and one interception.

Rodgers has only 4 interceptions this year. Damn good.

Tampa almost caught up to the Packers in the forth quarter. It was a 40 pass from Rodgers to WR Jordy Nelson that sealed the Buc's fate.

The Packers are now 10-0 and still haven't lost a game.

More on the game here.

Packers Week #10

The Green Bay Packers crushed the Central Division rivals Minnesota Vikings 45-7 at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Aaron Rodgers had another spectacular game throwing 4 touchdown passes.

The Packers defense played well, effectively shutting down the Vikings.

The Packers rested Rodgers and other starters at the end of the game. Second string QB Matt Flynn runs for another touchdown.

The bright side for Minnesota was defensive player Jared Allen,whom put some pressure on Rodgers.

The Packers are now 9-0 and STILL undefeated...

Packers Week #9

The Green Bay Packers defeated the San Diego Chargers 45-38 in a rather impressive gave at Qualcomm Stadium at San Diego.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

The Packers' defense was impressive, picking off San Diego's Philip Rivers three times. Two of them for touchdowns.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards.

Though Rivers got picked off three times, he did well throwing for touchdown passes.

The Packers are STILL undefeated at 8-0

Packers Week #8

The Green Bay Packers had a bye this week. So...I'll take the time to make my annual Super Bowl prediction. As you recall last year I picked New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons to make it. Never one of them did. It ended up being the Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, let's see if I could do better this year...

On the AFC side of the ball, at this point, Pittsburgh leads with a 6-2 record. Buffalo and New England have a 5-2 record while Houston holds at 5-3. San Diego and Oakland tied their division at 4-3. Cincinnati and Baltimore are doing good at 5-2. So it kind of looks it's anyone's game at this point...

Kinda like seeing Pittsburgh or New England going in...

The NFC gets easier...Green Bay is undefeated at 7-0. The New York Giants led the East at 5-2. Detroit is just behind the Pack at 6-2. San Francisco leads the West with a 6-1 record. New Orleans leads their division at 5-3.

It looks as if the Packers will return to the Super Bowl...

Packers Week #7

The Green Bay Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings 33-27 at the Metrodome today.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Aaron Rodgers threw almost a perfect game completing 24 of 30 passes for 335 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Rookie QB Christen Ponder of the Vikings made his starting debut today and was rather impressive.

Minnesota running back Adrian Petersen rushed 24 times for 175 yards.

Packer safety Charles Woodson picked off Ponder twice in the third quarter.

The Packers are now 7-0 and STILL undefeated....

More on the game here.

Packers Week #6

The Green Bay Packers slayed the St. Louis Rams 24-3 today at Lambeau Field

Here are my thoughts of the game....

The throwback uniforms that Green Bay wore really really sucked.

Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns including a 93 yarder to Jordy Nelson.

The Rams didn't seem half bad considering they are 0-6.

Rams cornerback, Al Harris, was impressed by his former team, calling them the best in the league.

The Packers are now 6-0, the only undefeated team in the NFL.

More on the game here.

Packers Week #5

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 25-14 at the Georgia Dome today.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

Atlanta jumped out ready to attack early in the game, scoring twice.

The Packers played without their starting tackles, leaving QB Aaron Rodgers vulnerable.

The situation changed in the second half of the game. The Packers came back with 25 unanswered points.

The Packers are now 5-0 and still undefeated....

More on the game here.

Packers Week #4

The Denver Broncos got spanked by the Green Bay Packers 49-23 at Lambeau Field this afternoon.

Here are my thoughts of the game...

The Packers pretty much dominated the game.

Besides one tipped pass that got intercepted, Aaron Rodgers was picture perfect today.

Over 400 yards in passing, four thrown TD passes and 2 ran in... Aaron Rodgers was on fire!

If the Broncos had played against someone else, I think they could have won. They are not to shabby of a team...

Broncos QB, Kyle Orten got picked off twice.

The Packers are now 4-0. Along with the surprising Detroit Lions, they remain undefeated....

Packers Week #3

My beloved Green Bay Packers won against conference rivals 27-17 at Soldier Field today.

Here are my thoughts of the game.

1) The Packers seemed to dominate the the first quarter by holding them down to one first down.

2) The Bears started to come alive in the second quarter.

3) There a lot of dropped passes from the Chicago receivers.

4) By the forth quarter things were getting ugly, turnovers by both teams. Chicago looked as if were ready to catch up.

5) The Packers are 3-0 now.

More on the game here.

Packers Week #2

The Packers won 30-23 over the Carolina Panthers at the Back of America Stadium in Charlotte bringing the Pack 2-0

Here are my thoughts of the game...

The Packers were non existent in the first quarter with only one possession.

Carolina actually looked good in the first half.

The Packers roared back to life in the second half dominating the Panthers.

Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton certainly has potential to a great quarterback.

Carolina turned the ball over four times during the game.

More on the game here.

Packers Week #1

My beloved team-the defending Super Bowl champs Green Bay Packers defeated the New Orleans Saints in this explosive season opener 42-34 at Lambeau Field. What a game! The Pack looked to have the game wrapped up in the first quarter before the Saints came alive with Drew Brees' quickfire passes.

Here are my thoughts of the game:

1) The Packers are clearly still a HOT team! Aaron Rodgers passes are like lightning!

2) Make no doubt, New Orleans is a GREAT team. The do have a lot of weapons in their arsenal.

3) Packer seemed to have a running game going (finally) with two good running backs at their disposal.

4) Special teams on both sides of the field have stepped up. Their were two kick off returns in the game.

5) Neither quarterbacks made an interception.

All in all it was an awesome game, a great way to start the season!
