He targeted Finley a ton early in the game without much success. Philly had 3 guys on him at some points. Other times he would get open but Rodgers either missed the read or just decided to ignore Finley if he's getting that much attention.

This post is funny.

As much as this is being called an ugly win, I was really happy with the game. Defense got a lot of pressure and although Vick had a lot of success it was a very promising performance overall. Special teams and penalties were both bright spots. If Jordy keeps returning like this, we're in great shape. The only real issues I thought we had were the pass protection and Rodgers' play. Rodgers I have no worries about going forward. Some of the shaky line play is certainly a concern though.

Grant going down sucks obviously, but Jackson should be able to hold his own in the run game for a few weeks before we have to play some better competition.

Yeah it was a wierd game. The things we thought we would suck at played the best and the things we thought we would dominate we were...marginal at I guess. Any defense would have been gashed by Vick if they spend all preseason game planning for a guy like Kolb and all of a sudden they have 15 minutes at half time to prep for one of the best rushing QBs of all time.

Im a little late to the party but here's my 2 cents on the game:

I kind of figured the offense would sputter out of the gates. Seems to happen every year where they light it up in preseason and stall early in the season.

I think we'll need to start spreading defenses out alot more now with Grant done for the season. Put Jennings, Finley, Driver, Jones, and/or Nelson out wide because no team has 4-5 talented CBs that would be needed to cover everyone. It would also help Jackson out tremendously too.

Clay Matthews was worth every pick that we traded to draft him and more. The guy was everywhere and his only misque was that dropped INT. Couldn't be happier with his performance.

We really need one of our young CBs to step up. Trammon was tested heavily and held up but Shields needs further development.

I could see Bulaga starting at some point in the near future. Tauscher was repeatedly beaten and Colledge is a ticking turnstile. Furthermore Josh Sitton is turning into a damn fine player. Lock that man up.

A big win on the road to start the season despite quite a few misques and injury loses.
