Another solid victory in week 2, against a woeful Bills team.

Jordy Nelson looked good on KOs again. Returned one to the 35 and one to the 40. Didn't get too many opportunities today, being that the Bills weren't kicking off much.

-12:55 1st, Quinn Johnson showed soft hands on a reception out of the backfield. Looked smoother than Roger Craig on that play.
-Rodgers was definitely working the hard count today. I think it's something that he really started to do this season. Make guys jump offsides and then throw deep on the free play. Unfortunately we had a few false starts today too.
-11:58, Arodge has to spend a timeout. The defense was showing some weird blitz, and Arodge couldn't adjust in time.
-7:45 Tried to force it to Finley, was very nearly INT'd. More of a drop by the defender. Finley had a number of beautiful catches in this game. When he gets open and catches it in stride, WOW.
-We settled for FGs on our first two drives. Thus, the half ended with us leading 13-7, which was closer than I'd have liked it to be. But we blew it wide open in the 2nd half.
-I counted SIX drops by Jones. Plus a fumble. He did have a big TD late. But these were plays on the sideline, where his foot was out, or there was a defender there and he didn't make the play. Not "drops" per se, they weren't all obvious TDs like most of them on the "JJ Lowlight Reel." But for a guy who never goes over the middle, you might want him to be able to get his feet in bounds on some of those, being a sideline specialist. Especially the one at 2:24 in the 1st, on which MM wasted a replay. There was a comment in an earlier article about Cobb, saying how he can adjust well "on the fly." I think that's one problem with JJ. When he has to turn at high speed and adjust to the ball, I think it effects his concentration at times.
-:21, 2nd quarter, we got the ball back with 21 seconds left and MM just ran the ball up the gut to drain the clock. We were only up 6 at the time. I don't like that. I'd like him to at least take a shot on those. He always concedes in those situations. Pull out a hook and lateral or something, Mike!
-How does Kuhn do it? He'll cut on a dime and hit the open field, but you just don't think he has enough speed to get to the 1st down markers. LOL. Yet somehow he does. Usually falls forward too. Doesn't waste time going east west.
-1:56 3rd quarter, Rodgers scrambles around the right side for a TD. This followed the play where JJ caught the ball for a short gain, but then fumbled. Bjack fell on it to retain possession, but we lost like 6-7 yards on the play. This put us up 27-7 for the dagger, but if that would have been a turnover, this game could've gotten close.
-11:41, 4th. JJ with a big TD down the right sideline. Had to do a 180 and come down with it. He did, and practically walked into the end zone. It was a wobbly throw though. Rodgers had a few wobbly throws in this game.
-9:40, under 10 minutes left in the game, with the Pack up 34-7 and Arodge comes back into the game. I thought they could have sat him down there. Trent Edwards wasn't doing jack shit through the air in this game. Or perhaps ever.

Defensive Highlights:
-Marshawn Lynch was featured in this game. This was during all the hearsay that we'd trade for him due to the Grant injury. Lynch looked good, imo. Had about 5 ypc at the half, had about 4 going into the 4th quarter. I thought they ran the ball pretty effectively on us. Just had no passing game whatsoever, which pretty much put the fork in them when they were down by 27 in the 4th.
-10:44, 1st quarter. Jenkins was the only Dlineman on this play. CMIII absolutely destroyed Trent Edwards for a 13 yard loss, forcing a punt. Clay had a couple of huge sacks for losses like that. A number of tackles in the backfield too. Iirc, he came out of this game on pace to break the all time sack record, with 6 so far on the season.
-11:39 2nd quarter, there was a huge PI on Woody for a gain of like 30 yards. This, combined with some decent running resulted in the Bills' only score of the day. It seemed like Woody drew quite a few flags this year. He was playing overly aggressive, hopefully not compensating for having lost a half of a step due to age.
-12:49, 3rd Trent Edwards getting crushed by Hawk and Woody gets the ball away at the last second and it goes through the WRs hands right to Chillar for the INT.
-7:44 3rd, the other crushing sack by CMIII.
-14:13 wicked strip by Morgan Burnett. The rookie read the screen, came up to make the play and knocked the ball loose. It never hit the ground and he caught it. Beautiful play. This dude is gonna be as good as Nick Collins, and I think Nick Collins is very very good.

Overall, a solid performance against a team we were expected to beat. They went out there, fought hard and won the game solidly.

One of my favorite plays of the game was when the Bills QB looked to his left, noticed Clay was coming in at him and JUMPED as if he saw a ghost. I was laughing so hard I had tears.

Great stuff, nerdman. Keep em coming.

I went to this game. Home opener. Matthews did his WWF pose right in front of us in the endzone after a sack. Met Frank Winters really quick in Curley's Pub after the game. Good times.

Another nice write-up. (I'm late posting because I was out of town for three days.)

A couple more good kick returns by Jordy. I forgot about that. So it was two games in a row where the return game looked good.

Six drops by Jones? Er, no, apparently you are counting catches with feet out of bounds as "drops" or something. You really lost me there.

I'm not sure that Woodson had a lot of penalties in 2010. I was thinking he had more the year before. I could be wrong. The entire secondary really cleaned up their pass interference penalties in 2010.
