Are you ready for some football?It's true, I'm still smarting from the Favre trade. I am a Packer fan. Nearly my entire football watching life has been with one quarterback. He never missed a start. He played when he was hurt. He played when he was healthy. He just always played. It was never even really a question. You never wondered on a Sunday if he was going play.
But tonight, on Monday, September 8, 2008, the Packers start a new era with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Offense started out with about 2813764912837649128736598213 yards of penalties, but after they got it going, they had a couple of really nice drives. Although they lacked a little consistency throughout 60 minutes of play, all that counts is the 24-19 W at the end!
The offensive line needs to give Rodgers a little more time, but Rodgers also proved he can scramble.
The running game was adequate. Grant had a nice 57 yard TD run.
Receivers had their moments. It was a shame that a 68 yard bomb to Driver was called back because of an ineligible receiver down field.
Special teams was special as Blackmon had a 76 yard punt return for a TD.
Did I mention defense was defending Adrian Peterson, I mean the Vikings? Kampman had a nice sack.
Aaron's Lambeau Leap: B+
