Packers Chalk Up a Second Victory

Well, it wasn't always pretty, but the Packers won. A victory is a victory; plus, the schedule over the next few weeks looks favorable for the Packers as well with games against the Arizona Cardinals and Buffalo Bills coming up.

There was definitely some things to be happy about:
  • Favre had a great game, getting two touchdown passes in the game. He had some throws that could have easily been intercepted, but they didn't so we'll take it.
  • Ahman showed some flashes of his former brilliance as he got a TD himself.
  • The defense generated some turnovers and gave the team some life. It was good to see them come out on the positive end of the turnover margin.
  • Many rookies stood up and produced today. AJ Hawk gets better and better with each game.
Some concerns:
  • The defense played better, but still struggles to truly dominate an entire game.
  • We need WR help and quickly. The next few games won't be too bad, we need to get some folks healthy in a hurry.
  • The quality of announcers. The crappier the Packers get the worse the announcers we get. These two today were awful. Matt Vascercian (sp?) used to announce for the Milwaukee Brewers and he was great! His transfer to football, not so great. They misnamed players, often misjudged yardage to first down and did not even understand some of the basics of the game. Jim may be switching to the radio feed and muting the TV.
  • Favre can't be this risky every game, or it's gonna be ugly. He's just not that good anymore.
So, the Packers are 2-4. They have a favorable game this Sunday against Arizona. Two in a row?
