Two observations from Saturday's Packer game...


Here are my top two observations from the game on Saturday:

1. B.J. Raji's first two plays... I was a bit concerned after Raji's
first play when he dropped back into what appeared to be pass coverage.
He ended up behind where the linebackers started, so he looked a bit
out of place for a big linemen. However, he made up for it on his
second play where he owned his side of the Bill's O-line. He manhandled
two guys and pushed them back deep into the pocket. If he keeps up with
plays like that, we should be in good shape.

2. O-Line. From my vantage point, many of the running plays in the
first half looked like they were getting stuffed at the line of
scrimmage, however I was wrong. What I wasn't realizing was that our
line consistently was pushing back the D about 5 yards each play. So
those runs that appeared to stop at the line were healthy 5-yard gains
for Mr. @RyanGrant25.

Bonus Observation: The best deal at Lambeau is the "Bottomless" popcorn for $6. Free refills although the stadium staff couldn't answer my question about whether I could bring the same tub back for each game =-)

Hopefully all of these continue into February!

What the %#&@ is RSS?
