Back after a one week absence due to my wedding. Every week during the season, I will throw out some quick observations of the previous NFL week. With the invention of the DVR and Directv’s ”Quick Bits”, I am able to watch almost every snap of every game and give you a lightning “blitz” war “krieg” to bring to your fantasy league for domination. Bring on the games!
The Lions met the Packers for the first Thanksgiving game. The 27-15 score doesn’t tell the entire story. Green Bay led 24-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter and let off the gas in the 4th quarter. Matt Stafford’s performance of 32 completions from 45 attempts, 276 yards passing and 1 TD, look good once you remove the 3 interceptions he threw. Kevin Smith ran well until he suffered an ankle injury (10 touches for 57 yards) and Maurice Morris took over after the injury with 120 total yards, including 9 receptions. The injury to Smith doesn’t sound very serious at this time, but please continue to hold onto Morris with Jahvid Best now on the IR. Calvin Johnson had a garbage time TD catch with less than 12 seconds on the clock and only caught 50% of his targets. Rookie Titus Young had a 13 yard reception and a two point conversion catch, while Nate Burleson added 50 yards on 6 touches. It is fair to say we all expected more against a poor Green Bay secondary. The Packers offense, however, was in control the entire game. Aaron Rodgers threw for a 66% completion rate for 307 yards and 2 TDs. He didn’t see much pressure even though the Packers running game stunk once again with 54 yards between 4 running backs. Greg Jennings caught his 5 targets for 74 yards including a 3 yard TD and James Jones took another big play (65 yarder) all the way to the house to finish with 94 yards on 3 catches.
