Week 5 Blog- Packers


The Green Bay Packers are currently 6-3 overall and are on top the standing in their division rankings.  This is not surprising to me, given the talent they have and possess, but at the beginning of the season, due to injuries and a slow start, I was beginning to think that it could be a long season. The team is finally starting to come around and some key players and starting to become fully healthy again.  A key loss they have had this season had been one of the top ranked corner backs in the NFL, AL Harris.  HE suffered a severe knee injury and still hasn’t fully recovered from it, so the Packers decided to let him go.  Personally I believe they should have kept him around and waited to see how he bounced back from the injury, but then again, it’s hard to keep him on the team and keep paying him if you don’t know if he will be able to play again the same as he used to.  Luckily, the new young corners are starting to play well and take over in his place.  Aaron Rodgers is starting to finally play like the quarterback he can be.  He had a slow start to the season, like the rest of the team, but his last game against the Dallas Cowboys was his best game yet this season.  He threw for 283 yards and had 3 touchdowns.  His quarterback rating was the highest it’s been all year as wee, which was a 131.5.  If the Packers keep this momentum rolling, the rest of the season should be exciting and fun to watch.

  1. I agree Jeff that Rogers is playing very well. I don't really like the way Harris plays though. I feel that Collins and Woodson will do a very good job and the Packer's linebackers are just studs. Their defense will keep them going this season I believe.

  2. Jeff- Luckly the Packers are doing well right now! I'm sure there are many reasons the team considered before letting Al Harris go. But all in all, they are doing pretty well, hopefully they keep it up!
