Packers beat the lowly Lions, BUT…
The Packers beat the Lions 26-0, but they didn’t look sharp AT ALL! In fact, I thought they looked pretty awful.
Thumbs Up
Clay Matthews is looking really good. It appears he was worth trading up to get.
Aaron Kampman finally was allowed to put his hand in the dirt and go after the QB. If they’re going to stay with the 3-4 they need to trade him.
Fox studio analyst Howie Long said Kampman would be better off on another team.
Congratulations Donald Driver for surpassing Sterling Sharpe’s receptions mark. If only the Packers could have a few more Donald Drivers on the team.
Thumbs Down
The Lions were down to about five defensive lineman and they still ended up sacking Rodgers five times. At this rate, Rodgers will not last. The Allen Barbre experiment is over. TT will have a lot of work to do in the offseason.
Red zone offense was pathetic. This game should have been a blowout.
The penalties aren’t going away. In fact, I think they’re getting worse. I put the blame on the coaching staff for lack of discipline.
The running game is non-existent. The awful offensive line isn’t giving Ryan Grant much of a chance, he only ran for 90 yards on 24 carries. This needs to improve before the cold weather games.
Trade Deadline
The trade deadline is tomorrow, and I highly suggest the Packers trade both Aaron Kampman and AJ Hawk. I don’t think either of them are a very good fit for a 3-4 defense. Kampman’s contract is up after this season, so trade him now while he’s still worth something, or plan on putting the franchise tag after the season is over, and then trading him.
