It has been a crazy week so the Wednesday WrapUp is today. I’ll post my picks for the showdown on MNF later.
Aaron Rodgers, Quarterback Green Bay Packers
Packers 36 Rams 17
So this game should’ve been a blowout right from the start, one good drive and two Ram turnovers and the Pack could have been up like 17-3. Then they give up two TD’s to a backup FB and its 24-17 at half. But Rodgers looked solid once again, and Driver was again awesome. It was good to see the Packers actually NOT run it on first down in the second half. But for crissakes, please stop with the deep throws! It is crazy that none of these were picked off….Can’t believe how much they ARENT a west coast offense this year. The NFL can be broken apart into 4 game stretches. Teams that are doing good usually can keep it going for four weeks or so, whether its the deep pass, running game, little quirk in the offense or defense, etc. Eventually, after a few weeks of studying film someone figures something out and adjusts. So is McCarthy actually smart enough to not reveal all his cards until the Viking game?
Vikings 27 Niners 24
I stopped watching this game when Favre’s floater on 4th and 5 fell incomplete with like two minutes left. (If the San Fran DB doesn’t drop a certain TAINT on a crap throw by Favre then the game is over) So after seeing this mess, I assumed San Fran would win…Then I had to listen to that crazily biased Vikings radio play by play guy on my way home. If the Vikings lose this game, some of the Favre supporters would’ve jumped ship. Only watched parts of this game, but he didn’t look good. That can easily be atoned for though, when you throw a 30 yard TD with 10 seconds left in the back of the end zone. Still don’t get why the 49ers didn’t have like 5 guys standing in the end zone. There was only 16 seconds on the clock when the play started!
Bears 25 Seahawks 19
Very surprised this game was close since Hasselbeck was out. Didn’t even see many highlights of this one, but definitely a good road win for the Bears. Seattle is notoriously a bad place for most non-west coast teams. Cutler has been good two weeks in a row now, so is Week 4 is next breakdown game or?
Lions 19 Skins 14
Lions Win! Yes the Lions won! Good job! I watched a couple minutes of this game and was most impressed by the Lions D.
Week 3 Winners
- Lions – Now don’t get too cocky…
- Aaron Rodgers – Calm and crisp, love the energy!
- Ryan Grant – Some life there, actually saw him break a couple tackles
- Jonny Jolly – Solid, please TT sign him soon!
Week 3 Losers
- Brad Childress – Keep forgetting that this douche should be here by default. Also, Chilli has the worst beard on TV.
- A.J. Hawk – Sorry man, I am always pulling for ya but always seeing you getting pushed around or tackling someone from behind….I.E. No impact plays or big hits a top 5 pick should be making.
- Paul Allen – Seriously this guy drives me crazy during Vikings games. Actually I only hate him when the Vikings are doing good, its a pleasure listening to him when the Vikings are losing.

What? You did that to me?
Green Bay 21, Chicago 15
Video of Jennings TD
Last Sunday, the Packers proved something to me. Rodgers can win games and McCarthy will finally take some chances this year.That 3rd and 1 call at the end was well timed. The game was a little sloppy, but similar to the Thursday nighter (TEN@PITT) a few days prior, it was intense and featured lots of crushing hits.
Chicago probably wins this game if you take away Cutler’s 4 picks. But thats what they traded for…
The Packers probably win this game outright they connect on any of the four or so dropped long balls. Especially that one to Jordy Nelson.
But the best part was seeing Lovie Smith’s face after Rodgers connected with Jennings to take the lead. After all these years, the Packers finally gave him a taste of his own medicine. IE winning a game they shouldn’t have at the end
That was priceless.
Winners:
- Rodgers – Good tablesetter for his 4th Quarter confidence.
- Pickett/Jolly/Collins – Sign them now!
- Hester – Legit receiver
- Ogunlawye – Terrorizing first half
Losers:
- Packer play calling – Urlacher is out, you have weapons in the middle…maybe try throwing over middle to Finley/Lee or James Jones!
- Barbre – One more bad game and we may see Gionconni
- Lovie – (See above)
- Urlacher – Done
Vikings 34, Browns 20
Watched probably half of this game, but it went basically how the Vikings want to play this year. Heavy doses of their D fronting combined with an offense that methodically moves the ball down the field by running and little flare passes.
Then in the second half, their opponent begins to wear down; opening up Adrian Peterson to break out huge runs. If they can maintain this all season, they will be a formidable opponent and probably in the top 5 of the division. But if you factor in the Vikings history + Favre’s age and recent history + Childress + injuries I doubt that will happen.
Winners:
- Adrian Peterson – Yes he’s faster version of Walter Payton
- Josh Cribbs – Solid
- Chilli/Zygi – For one game Vikings management’s moves look to be right.
- Percy Harvin – Very promising
Losers:
- Browns – maybe the worst team in football
- Favre – its going to take a lot to get out of the loser category in the eyes of many…
New Orleans 45, Detroit 27
Didn’t see any of this game, just the highlights. But looks like the Lions have some life. Let’s see how they handle the Vikings in their house next week.
Winners:
- Drew Brees – maybe best QB in NFC
- Lions fans – first game w/o Matt Millen had to feel good
Losers:
- Lions fans – team still sucks
- Browns fans – teams still sucks
- Dante Culpepper – remember he was almost MVP three years ago
