Packers beat Giants to go 2-0
Brett Favre throws 3 touchdown passes and wins his NFL record 149th game by a quarterback. The final score is 35-13 as the Packers roll in the second half. It was a tough first half and Green Bay was down at halftime. They came out in the second half and took over the game both offensively and defensively. Bubba Franks and Donald Lee caught touchdown passes, the first game in a long time the tight ends have made a significant contribution. The running backs also contributed with a solid running game, Deshawn Wynn had a nice touchdown run and 50 total yards rushing.
Green Bay certainly played a much better game than they did last week against the Eagles when two big special teams play gave them a lucky win.(we will take them any way we can get them) Brett played better, the offensive line was a little better, running backs, tight ends, and wide receivers all improved. The defense gave up some yards in the first half and then settled down in the second half and were able to attack a little more when they had a lead. I like the fired up mentality but Nick Barnett and Brady Poppinga need to control themselves and not pick up stupid personal fouls.
If the Packers can beat a tough San Diego Chargers team next week and go 3-0, people will know they are for real. With Detroit beating Minnesota today in overtime the Packers and Lions are in first place while the Vikings and Bears share last.(feels good to say that) It would be fun to see games on Thanksgiving and end of the season against the Lions determine the NFC north champion. Im also rooting for Brett Favre to break Dan Marinos touchdown record at home against the Bears. Wouldnt that be fun watching Urlacher congratulate him!
Sundays are really more enjoyable with a Packer win, hard to believe it has been 6 straight now. Lets keep it going Packers!
