I certainly hope this isn't going to be a theme for my Post this year but.... C'mon Man? Give me a Break on the Refereeing already! Seriously... a guy LAUNCHES HIMSELF through the air like a missle... Makes NO ATTEMPT to wrap up on the tackle with his arms... it's all Helmet! Hits Eddie Lacy square on on the chin and NOBODY wearing stripes sees it?
Evidently Karma saw it because not 5 minutes (game time) later, the same player launches himself Helmet first in an attempt to tackle James Starks... this time instead of knocking out the ball carrier he knocked himself out.
Hopefully Lacy wont suffer any long term effects from such a blatent illegal hit. Concussions are tricky... being a Pittsburgh Penguins fan I can't help but think of Sydney Crosby and his storied history with concussions. Get well Ed.
RODGERS IS A PAIN IN THE NECK
Aaron Rodgers woke up Gameday with a sore neck that needed "adjustment" from the training staff. Aaron creditied the trainor for making him feel better by game time. I hope Aaron gets the same pain every week if he's gunna throw for 480 yards and 4 touches.
Rodgers downplayed his performance afterwards saying, "I don't think this was my best game. I'm very happy with the accuracy and the way things went in the passing game, but we definitely have things to work on."
OVERVIEW
All in all, as a Packer fan you can't but feel great about how things are going so far. We're 1-1 and got past the two best read/run offesnses that torched us so badly last year. I'm loving the kicking game with Mastay doing the kickoffs. The comittment to the run is paying off and uh..... remind me again... Gregg Jennings who?
FOR THE RECORD
The Green Bay Packers set multiple team records in Sunday’s 38-20 victory over the Washington Redskins.
* Aaron Rodgers and James Starks became the first players in Packers history to combine for 400 yards passing and 100 yards rushing. The Packers also set a record and gave me the answer to tomorrows trivia question I'll be asking at work... "Who is the ONLY NFL team to have a Quarterback over 450 yards passing and a running back with over 125 yards rushing?"
* Rodgers passed for 480 yards and four touchdowns, tying Matt Flynn for an all-time Packers record for yards passing in a regular-season game.
