Let me be the first to say that I was truly impressed with Aaron Rogers composure in the situation he was put under. I felt that he played a very good game. Although I am not ready to crown him our next starter, he has proven that he is at least a serviceable backup.
Yes, I am eating crow right now. Up until this point, Rodgers hasn't shown me any life, he made me re-think my opinion tonight. Although he telegraphed his passes and was skidish in the pocket, at least he had the common sense to pull it down and run with it. That gave us an element to our offense that Favre hasn't had in years. He made the throws he needed to even if they weren't anything spectacular. He managed the game and kept his composure and both of those attributes make all of the difference when looking at a starting QB for your team. Although he is extremely rough and not as well versed as would be expected for a 3rd year backup, hopefully he will get more playing time the next 4 games as the Packers beat the crap out of their remaining opponents.
On a negative note, our defensive play calling was horrible. Our secondary looked horrible, Harris looked lost and we now know we have no one who can backup Woodson currently. Our special teams looked horrible and I have to question the offensive play calling after our first drive up until Favre left the game.
Other then that, I believe the Packers have a legitimate shot at going all the way. They will not lose to this team again should they meet. Clearly the Cowboy's gave it all they had and they only beat us by 10. After being up by 17, with our second string QB in the game, they couldn't stop us very well. Next time we will have our whole defense (I hope) and Favre appears to be "ok" at this point. If I were a Cowboys fan, I would be worried about playing this team again.
Does anyone know how teams that play 3 games in 12 days fair? I think going 2-1 in basically a 2 game time frame is pretty good. We have lots of good things to look forward to.
