Gut Reactions: Week Two

Aaron's gut reaction to today's game.

  • Clay Matthews is not human
  • Aaron Rodgers seemed to be thinking way too much in the first half, esp when the Bills showed pressure with no safeties over the top. Like he was trying to think of the perfect play to counter it. In the second half, he seemed to just run what was called and really made them pay.
  • Speaking of Rodgers, I think its pretty obvious that he and Mike McCarthy had a "don't zero in on Finley" talk this week. Both Bill Michaels and Greg Bedard pointed out separate plays where Rodgers didn't look at Finley when he was wide open downfield.
  • Very interesting to see the Bills pound the football with success in the second quarter
  • Fantastic play by rookie Morgan Burnett on the strip/interception. Read it perfectly and timed his hit beautifully.
  • I think we just saw the beginning of the Bryan Bulaga era.
  • Both Greg Jennings and James Jones made fantastic back shoulder catches.
  • If I coached wide receivers, I would have a cut-up tape featuring nothing but Donald Driver after the catch - the man just wants it more than you do.
  • Liked to see the return of the Psycho package today - yielded two sacks.
  • Secondary still having major issues with stack/bunch formations. Not a good sign.
  • Huge matchup next week on Monday Night Football - the 2-0 Packers take on the 2-0 Bears. Can't wait.

Bring on the Bears. Prediction time: We win against them at Chicago, we make the playoffs. Simple as that.

We're going to need a running game sooner or later, and I predict we'll need it next week. We're better than the Bears, but we can't do what Dallas did today (throw 50 times) and win. Get Lynch here NOW!

Leave Lynch in Buffalo.

The zone game requires timing. It isn't always about the runner. The run blocking was terrible today. The timing was bad and the Rb's just didn't hit the backside block when it WAS there...which wasn't often.

Let's let these guys play a couple of games and see what we have before we rush off and give up valuable players or picks for a guy that may not be much better.

You have no way of proving that. Meanwhile, Hawk was in on 9 tackles for a defense that flexed it's muscles today. He's valuable, much moreso than Lynch would be. I'd rather give this "Rushin' Russian" Dmitri Nance some looks than trade away a known commodity for a guy who has been mediocre at best as a RB.

Go look at Lynch's numbers in '07 and '08 very solid as a rookie and 2nd year guy. He's young. You put him on a good team, who knows what he could do.

Not saying I want it to happen, but still mediocre is a stretch.

Not really a stretch. He's not a difference maker. If he were, the Bills would win more games and/or he'd have a little bit better than average stats. Look at Steven Jackson in St. Louis. Their line is just as bad if not worse than Buffalo's, and he makes things happen anyway. He's a guy who could make a difference. Lynch just isn't. He's not worth the risk to team chemistry or the risk of whatever we have to give up. Unless it's a 4th round pick or lower. Maroney is just as good, potential-wise, in my opinion, and he only netted the Pats a swap of a 6th for a 4th.

packsmack.. completly agree.. hawk definitely played a good game and was all over teh ball he was around teh ball carrier constantly and got pressure on the qb multiple times and his pressure lead to a few of the sacks this game... gettin pressure is something the fans always complain about.. hawk gets pressure.. no one seems to care.. yall dont make no sense

All conjecture. The Bill's o-line sucks. Lynch would still look good in a Packer uniform. Who said the trade had to to be for Hawk? That might make sense but it could be another player (maybe an Offensive lineman) or it could be for a future draft pick. I still don't like betting the farm on Jackson staying healthy.

Hey, this was still a GREAT football weekend!. My three favorite teams won. 1. Green Bay 2. Anyone that plays Minnesota and 3. Anyone that plays Dallas. To top it off the Badgers won. Life is good.

I understand. I too was torn on Spares and the Cowgirls but I really can't stand Dallas. Probably due to the eight straight years they beat us because every damn game was played in Dallas. That and I've been stuck living Dallas for long time and Cowboy fans can be pretty obnoxious. That's probably true for Bear fans as well but as you say, it was a tough call.

You can think that but how many sacks did they give up? 4? That just screams good line play. And with all the talent at running back that they have, they sure didn't show it (combined total of 124 yards). It all starts with the O-Line. So lol back at you.

That's a little bit of an oversimplification though, man. Lynch was on the losing team and Jackson on the winning team - but it certainly looked like Lynch had a better day. My point is that you can't just pick two players from opposing teams then point to the TEAM'S performance as the measuring stick for the two players.

That said, I'd actually rather hang onto Hawk right now. I'm not giving up on the running game without Grant just yet (one week seems a little quick for that) and Hawk is a good against the run, and we needed that today...

I guess the whole offseason spat between Urlacher and Gale Sayers has inspired this team to try and salvage Lovies job. Make no mistake, he is going have The Bears ready to play the Pack. Enjoy the win, don't get too high off it and be ready for a fired up Bears team.
Seeing this is the longest rivalry in the NFL I will expect a slug fest between the two teams for sole possession on the NFC North. I love games against the Bears.

Mel - there's a bit of debate on this. McCarthy said he was hurting this week and didn't practice. Then they pulled him after two series and it is announced as a coaches decision. One thing is for sure - he had no business being on the field today. He was terrible the two series he did play.

Thank goodness the Bulaga era started against Buffalo, and not Peppers on MNF. I still will not be surprised to see Clifton start next Monday night. If whatever is ailing him can get even marginally better, they may not want to put Bulaga in that spotlight.

"Secondary still having major issues with stack/bunch formations. Not a good sign."

Saw the same thing as well Aaron. Problem is, guys are getting confused on which man to cover. I think both Woodson and Collins hesitated on a crossing pattern on 3rd down that gave the Bills an easy completion. Veteran QBs are going to be looking at this very closely.

I was disappointed in the way they used Brandon Jackson. I didn't see many series where he got more than one carry and he never got a chance to run twice in a row, that I can remember.

I wanted to see them give him more opportunites than that but I can't complain with the offensive results. At least he was able to score a TD.

As for Clay Matthews, all I can say is wow. I figured he would be better in his second year but this is even more than I had hoped for. Great job Mr. Matthews.

Thank you Aaron. A voice of reason.
Sometimes fans have really strange and disconnected opinions about what is happening on the playing field.

Overall, I think the Offense has been really out of sync.

As for Jackson...his receptions out of the backfield are very effective and as a result he offers something that we never really had with Grant as the starter.

Lots to look forward to with this team.

I kinda wonder if they were sorta 'experimenting' with the RB sitch in this game. They obviously had the Bills taken care of and maybe they were just giving guys a lil' run to see how they can use them and what situations really best suit their talents.

Never would have guessed going into week 3 the Packers and Bears would be tied at the top of the division at 2-0.

No way Clifton should start against the Bears, with Peppers coming off the edge. If he has looked this poor in weeks 1-2 (granted one was vs. Trent Cole,no slouch as a DE) the speed of Peppers would make him look silly. Bulaga should be the starter going forward.

Bulaga isn't really the quickest lineman on the field either. Last time the Packers played Peppers, Clifton did an okay not spectacular but okay job against him. IMO Bulaga should get a series or two in order to get his feet wet. If he can handle Peppers let him get the whole game. But I wouldn't start him from the first play onwards.

BJax was frustrating to watch, too much hesitation.

Burnett better man up on his tackling, cause the run defense needs him to stop those 6-8 yard runs from becoming 15 yard runs.

And JMike had a great game, if you like your biggest reciever running out of bounds instead of bowling over a CB. I am surprised the Bills gave him free releases most of the day.

I think AR's slow starts are directly related to Clifton's presence in the starting line.

You got to love how well Jordy Nelson has helped the return game and I think everyone was thrilled with CM3, including CM2 who was in attendance today. If he was trying to impress dad today, we need to make sure he has season tickets.

Go Pack!

I do agree about Morgan. I thought the same thing. He doesn't appear to be a fan of sticking his nose in there and doing the dirty work. I think that can be overcome though... a little more time being in the film-room with Woodson surely will not hurt.

Smack,

I'm personally pleased with the victory, but not elated. Let's not kid ourselves, there's a very good chance the Bills will be on the clock the second the Lombardi is awarded. We SHOULD beat THAT team by 27, if we are who we think we are. Chicago will be a much better measuring stick.

After reading these amazing posts, now I'm forced to rewatch the game ...... I thought for sure GB won & by a fairly good amount ...... Da Viqweens didn't come back & beat the Phins on a last second miraculous pass from BF, did they? ..... Now my head hurts .... Confusion.

I just watched BF's Viking press conference and I just have to say: His heart aint in it! And, I know that sad Fauvre attitude. Look for the Queens to lose a lot of games this season, especially since AP had 142yds and they still couldnt score shit against Miami.

Just got back to St Paul from the game. 11 caries is not enuf to judge a guy. He looked to me like he ran hard when given the chance. Grant had a lot of 2-3 yarders before he'd rip on off lifting his average, but it would take a while to get him going. MM didn't give him much chance to get going and there really wasn't a ton of room for him to run when he did get the chance.

I gotta say, this "don't zero in on finley" thing is perplexing. My God, he was wide open on a bunch plays where AR went elsewhere. If the Man is open, get it to him. If he does enuf damage, opponents will adjust and leave others open & then they get their share. But if the play is there--TAKE IT!!

No. Marshall Faulk was the OROY and pro-bowl MVP his rookie year. He dominated every year with the Colts and, the year before he was traded, led the league in total yards from scrimmage, more than NFL MVP Terrell Davis. He didn't just 'explode, with the Rams, he was on pace to have a Hall of Fame career with the Colts.

Faulk was never buried on a depth chart in his career, Lynch is 3rd.

No comparison....

Why that should be as the team does a lot of intensive pre-season and pre-game work.
