This one was a shoot out early in the game. It was a back and
forth battle. The Packers were hanging with the high flying
passing Colts. It was a great game for the fans early. The Colts
would score then the Packers then the Colts and then the Packers
again. The defenses could not do anything to stop either
offense. But Brett Favre was Brett Favre and being the
gunslinger that he his he tried to make a big play to get them
ahead and it cost him. Even though he only threw one pick in
this game it was a pick that turned the tide in the game. It was
a very costly pick. Because after that turnover the Packers
could not get themselves back in the game. It's like that
turnover just sucked the life out of them and they couldn't
fight back. Favre had a decent game overall minus that pick. He
was 20-30 for 284 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was having a very
good game almost threw for 300 yards. Green had a decent game
to. He rushed the ball 9 times for 78 yards and waa able to get
a touchdown to. He also grabbed 2 receptions for 31 yards.
Davenport also rushed it but he didn't get many yards only 36
yards on 2 carries. They weren't into running the ball today.
Once they got behind they were fighting to get back and they
could not find their footing and they just stopped trying to run
the ball. Since they were passing the ball a lot today they
need guys to make some plays. And due to Ferguson being out for
8 weeks with an injury they need help from his back up Walker
and he helped out Driver today. He had himself 6 receptions for
74 yards not a bad day for a guy who was a back up. He is making
a name for himself on the team and showed he could play. Driver
had a good game as well. Driver caught 5 passes for 84 yards and
scored 1 touchdown on the day. Franks was able to grab 3 catches
for 34 yards. He started off cold by not getting the ball early
but late in the game he was able to get open and make some
catches. Even the other back ups made some plays. Chatman made 2
catches for 26 yards and the other Tight End Martin was able to
get a touchdown. Even though the touchdown came from his only
catch of the day he was still able to score at least. Now the
score shows they only lost by 14 points but they had to fight
real hard to stop Manning from scoring more. The defense did all
they could do but when the offense goes 40% on 3rd down
conversion it makes it a little harder cause. The offense wasn't
out there long and that defense was getting tired quick. It
showed too. They almost gave up 500 yards total. They gave up
482 total yards on the day. 367 of those yards came from the
passing game Manning was on fire for the day. But in a surprise
they also gave up a total of 115 yards rushing. Which shows how
tired they were getting. Cause the Colts don't run the ball
often and for our d to give up over 100 yards to them shows they
we're getting beat down. But they were able to make some plays
on the day. They were able to get 2 sacks on Manning. Hunt and
Washington were able to get to him and bring him down. Towards
the end of the game I don't know if Manning was getting tired or
if the Packers rush got a little better but Al Harris was able
to pick off a pass from Manning. Roman and McKenzie were able to
lead the team in tackles. Roman lead both teams with a total of
11 tackles. McKenzie didn't get a pick but he was able to have 6
tackles on the day. Their captain Harper had himself 4 tackles.
Next week hopefully will be a little easier. They are playing
the Giants and depending on what they are going to do whether
they play their rookie QB or not, hopefully they can get a nice
and easy win from them.
