The Quarterback Situation- Part 1
Good afternoon my fellow Packers fans!
As you all probably know, the Packers have a BYE this week. That comes with some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that this Sunday will be Packerless. The good news though, is that there are plenty of other games we can watch to pass the time AND it will give our injury-ridden team a little break to help them heal up and come back good as new! Well, maybe not good as new, but possibly good as gently used?
NO vs GB Recap
The Packers had another rough week this week with no help from the Bears and Vikings as both teams won their games for the week. Green Bay faced the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau field and still have some kinks to work out after the loss of Aaron Rodgers last week in Minnesota.
Before we get too far into the game recap, lets talk about Brett Hundley who is Green Bay’s starting QB with Rodgers out. First, ya’ll need to take a deep breath. We have been spoiled with two legendary quarterbacks in a row in Green Bay. Hundley could possibly make three if Packers fans would give the guy a chance. In today’s game we saw some good and some not so good out of Hundley. The good? Hundley is quick, both on his feet and with his arm. He is not afraid to sneak his way through the defense and can throw some rocket balls. The not so good? Hundley is still a rookie. Rookies make rookie mistakes. They get nervous and try to be the hero and mistakes happen. It is what it is. Its a learning experience. It will get better with time though. Remember what your parents and coaches always used to tell you? “Practice makes perfect”. So give Hundley a little time to work things out. As our buddy Rodgers would say, “R-E-L-A-X. Relax.”
Now onto the game.

GB vs MIN Recap
*sigh*
Well today was a rough one folks.
At noon the Green Bay Packers started their battle against division rival Minnesota Vikings. Many fans had high hopes that the Packers would have another win on their belt and a bigger division lead. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The 23-10 loss may not have been the worst thing to happen to the Packers today though.

GB vs DAL Recap
Whew! My heart is still pounding after that thriller at AT&T Stadium! This week the Green and Gold traveled to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in a matchup that many expected to be a revenge game for Dallas after Green Bay knocked them out of the playoffs last season on a final second field goal kick. Little did they know, Aaron Rodgers was as hot as always and led the Pack to another fantastic finish with the Green Bay on top.
The Packers got off to a tough start with some struggles on defense and a missed extra point in the first quarter. Dallas marched downfield for a touchdown on their opening drive, but Green Bay was able to respond by doing the same. With the missed extra point the Packers managed to finish the quarter down by only one with a score of 7-6 Dallas.
