Insiders Blog: Packers Win 27-24

The Green Bay Packers finished its 27-24 exhibition win over Seattle around midnight central standard time.

So what did we learn from the game?

The No. 1 offense is good: Really good. QB Aaron Rodgers came out gunning and went 8-for-11 with 116 yards and two touchdowns. The first play of the game was a 56-yard deep ball to Greg Jennings. The passing game has been efficient for both exhibition games. Jermichael Finley continued to shine with four catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. He was too big for cornerbacks and ran past linebackers.

The No. 1 unit was scheduled to play 20 snaps, but coach Mike McCarthy said he was happy with the production after 18 plays.

Two possessions, two scores, Rodgers said. Gotta be happy with that. Our biggest thing is getting in a rhythm. Were tough to stop when thats happening.

We have a lot of playmakers. Even without (Driver) tonight. The line has done a great job.

(Finley has) trained me to throw him the ball in certain situations. He really understands the scheme now. Hes tough to stop.

The defense needs its starters: CB Charles Woodson, ILB Nick Barnett, ILB A.J. Hawk, OLB Brad Jones and OLB Clay Matthewsf all sat out. It showed early. Brandon Underwood started and struggled. Jarrett Bush had a rough outing. Derrick Martin was kicked out of the game for punching a player during a punt return.

Matt Hasselbeck was 11-for-15 with 127 yards and a touchdown.
Sam Shields and Spencer Havner did have interceptions of Charlie Whitehurst.

I thought there was a lot of positive film, coach Mike McCarthy said. Defensively was able to play a lot of new guys.

Banged up: The Packers made it through fairly healthy Saturday, but a one of two injuries came at a thin position. WR Brett Swain had the wind knocked out of him, but returned. Undrafted rookie RB Quinn Porter suffered an ankle sprain and did not return. That left Brandon Jackson and FB John Kuhn running the ball in the fourth quarter. The position is already hurting with Kregg Lumpkin (hamstring) and sixth-round draft pick James Starks (hamstring) out.

Special teams not so special: Undrafted rookie Sam Shields dropped a kickoff this week and lost a fumble for the second consecutive week. The team was pinned inside its own 5-yard line twice on Jon Bryan punts. Oh, and there were the penalties.

(Yes, the former Packers punter Bryan. And yes, the Packers are still searching for its punter.)

Seattle put up kickoff returns of 24, 27 and 37 yards.

Mason Crosby was the star of the unit with field goals of 34 and 51 yards.

In the end: McCarthy had these words Anytime you win a football game, its a positive for your football team.



You'd think a self-proclaimed "Insider" would know that his name is John Ryan, not John Bryan.

Is it me, or have Packer RBs had an awful lot of injuries in this and the last couple camps?

It's like every year we go in thinking "okay, Grant's probably the starter, but who are the backups goign to be." And every year, we never seem to get anywhere because all the backups miss a significant amount of time in camp/preseason to injury.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

dfosterf (3h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (4h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (5h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

dfosterf (7h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (8h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (8h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (8h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (8h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (8h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (8h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (19h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (19h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
