TAKE NO PRISONERS: Green Bay 2007: Week 3 Up Now

[/color] vs Philadelphia[/b][/center]

Final Score : Green Bay: 31 Philadelphia: 10

Player of the Game

Al Harris absolutely shut down half the field on Sunday. When McNabb did throw at him, he was wishing he hadn't, as Harris deflected every ball throw his way, and took a key interception back for a score in the 4th quarer.



The Packers got off to the best start you can possibly have to a season opener, as Robert Ferguson took the opening kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown. The special teams were solid, but the story of the day was the Eagles inability to run the ball. The Packers defensive line formed a solid wall as Brian Westbrook had 15 carries for a total of only 56 yards. McNabb had some decent success through the air, but Al Harris was a big factor in the mistakes that he did make. The Packers front four were able to get a decent surge when it mattered the most, and especially in the 4th quarter.

The game may look like a blowout on paper, but it was much closer than the numbers lead you to believe. Going into the 4th quarter, Green Bay led 26-17 with Philadelphia threatening. However, Two INT's in the redzone in the 4th quarter by McNabb led to 10 quick points. After a FG by Green Bay, the ensuing kickoff lead to a turnover as the Eagles coughed it up inside their own 20.

Brandon Jackson stepped up as he went for 129 yards on 29 attempts. Unfortunately, he also lost a fumble late in the 4th, but a stout defense made sure he didn't pay for it. Brett Favre was cool under pressure as stayed calm during all the heavy blitzes that Philly threw at him. He went 15-24 for 205 yards and 2 TD's. Favre also gave the Pack their best chance to win, as he threw no interceptions while completing passes to six different receivers. Antonio Bryant stepped up as a solid receiver, hauling in 8 balls for 111 yards. The Packers head to New York next week to take on another NFC East opponent when they face the Giants.[/b]

I figured I would do a post game wrap-up as opposed to writing down EVERY stat. I will probably do a big stat chart when it comes to about week 9. Then again at the end of the season. Hope you enjoy..

crapi didnt have time last night to properly reply as i was a bit too blazed so here we go now...

i like it so far. BJACK ATTACK BABY... the score seems a lot higher than i remember discussing with you last night for the game against the Eagles, but you also explained two turnovers caused the point surge, so i guess it warrants itself as being legit.

i'll keep reading and posting feedback son... but you know pretty soon its gonna go down: KJ VS KJV TBH

BATTLE FOR THE INITIALS TBH

what level are you playing on?

[/color] vs San Diego[/b][/center]








The Packers got off to a great start this season, and faced quite the road block when the San Diego Chargers were coming to town. However, with some tough defense, and an offense that showed up , Green Bay pulled off the victory.

The defense was solid, as LaDainian Tomlinson was held in check by the front 7 of Green Bay. He rushed for 56 yards on 21 attempts, and was stuffed on 3rd and short more than few times. In fact, the Chargers went just 1 for 9 on 3rd down, and turned the ball over twice.

Chargers QB Phillip Rivers had some decent success against the Packers early, as the front four of Green Bay weren't able to get a huge surge. Though when it mattered, the defense came through and forced the 2 turnovers that won them the game.

The game was a tight battle throughout. With the score 27-22, the Chargers had possession and were marching down the field. A QB spy by Al Wilson led to him picking off a Phillip Rivers pass on a slant that allowed Green Bay to kick a FG with 28 seconds left to seal a victory. The Chargers got the ensuing kickoff, but with only one timeout and more than 80 yards to go, there wasn't enough time left to do anything.

Brandon Jackson stepped up once again, and proving to be quite the stable back as he went for 132 yards on 26 attempts. Antonio Bryant is turning out to be Brett Favre's favorite target, as caught 6 balls for 98 yards and a touchdown. The Packers head to the Metrodome in Minnesota next week to take on the Vikings in the first NFC North division game of the season.

Wow, this game was kind of bizarre. It almost ended just like the real game I just watched Sunday!

Also, all the players of the game are selected by Madden. Don't know if I mentioned that, but yeah. I'm not playing any favorites
