commentary...

in a game that the Packers won,31-17,now the good points:Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes(on only 14 completions),in 30 attempts,for only 218 yards,but the Packers' running game came to life,with 176 yards on the ground,on 39 carries(most since the Packers ran for 202 yards,against the Cleveland Browns,on October 25,2009)... now the bad points,in terms of injuries:Bryan Bulaga(hip),Jordy Nelson(ankle)and Clay Matthews(hamstring)... i do not know the extent of the injuries,but from i can gather,Nelson's ankle injury is the worst of the three players(do not quote me on that,just yet)... Luckily,the Packers are 6-3,and have a bye week next week,so they will have two weeks to heal up... Aaron Rodgers did have a off week,yardage-wise,and accuracy suffered,but the last touchdown scored by the Packers was a 72 yard pass and run,thrown to Tom Crabtree,as time expired,in third quarter,so there are signs of an offense that is coming on... wide receiver Randall Cobb caught two touchdown passes(one from 13 yards,and another from 21 yards),and wide receiver James Jones caught a 28 yard touchdown pass... the defense played very good,except for the fact that Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald,Andre Roberts,and Michael Floyd all had around 80 yards receiving,with only Fitzgerald having a touchdown catch(a simply spectacular pass,and run that went through,and over,nearly the entire Packers' defensive backfield)... LaRod Stephens-Howling had only 51 yards rushing,with an one yard touchdown run around the right side of their offensive line(a race to the corner of the pylon),and the Cardinals' quarterback John Skelton passed for 306 yards,but critical drops by their receivers kept the Cardinals at bay most of the day,and neither team scored in the fourth quarter,as both teams suffered,from short-circuited offenses,and with a fourteen point lead,the Packers cruised to a easy,but still ugly win,and unfortunately limping into their bye week...
