Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants- “Mr. Rodgers vs. The “Eli”te One”
Great Opening drive with Eli dispersing the ball all over the field, and utilizing the running game with their two powerful backs. Great start for the Green Bay offense, but missed opportunity an overthrown Jennings stymied them to have to settle for 3. Next, up the 3rd down savior Eli delivers a strike to Nicks with 5 defenders around him…. Right after Nicks catches another pass, bumped off of a defender and he turns on the burners…. big play Giants. After an almost fumble by Jennings, A Rodgers goes with his melodic throwing process to land Kuhn his 3rd touchdown catch of the year. To start the second quarter, Green Bay proceeds with an onside kick recovered by the Giants, which lead to a blocked field goal by the pack. It is the A. Rodgers show with 3 first downs on his feet.
Term that best describes this 2nd quarter is “DROPS”, for GreenBay. No front 4 pressure from Greenbay, Eli has ALL DAY to throw; half time adjustments need to be made. Costly Interception thrown with 5 mins left to Brunett, from Manning. And a fumble by Kuhn, will def get him some immediate pine time to think. First half POG is Hakeem Nicks. #Fireworks…(Half time Hail Mary, Get your popcorn ready)..Starting of the second half, there is an OSI sighting stripping Rodgers, giving the G-men possession again. Back with the ball again the Pack are perfectionist in time management, lead by the running of James Starks pretty much who they had to put faith in last year. Defense is being stepped up by the Pack, on a critical 3rd and 16 the pack hold up to cause another 3 and out. And another clutch 3rd down, Eli to Cruz, with 10 mins to go. First Packers sack comes at the most opportune time, causing a 35 yard field goal by Tynes, making it a 10 point game half way through the 4th. To add more insult to injury, another turnover by the pack to give the G Men the ball on the 6, leading to a quick strike TUDD caught by Manningham. Out of sync and out of time is what the Greenbay offense is looking like. Great showing on the road by the G Men. Congrats.
