What's burned into my brain more than anything after all that is Aaron's Rodgers' reaction to his QB sneak touchdown. The huge windup before he slammed the ball into the ground. The way he raised his knees up, while being patted by happy fans during his Lambeau Leap, as if to give up as much of his body to the fans as possible. All that was missing was a barbaric yawp. Great to see.
Greg Jennings' play and offensive player introductions were solid.
The team's penalties--especially Chad Clifton and Tony "Death" Moll's--were annoying, but if last year is any indication of what we can expect this year,
Coach Mike will get that straightened out. He's good at correcting those kinds of things. I bet we have less than 5 penalties next week.
Kornheiser in the first half was beyond annoying, what with his stupid assumptions that every Packer fan is thinking "What Would Favre Do?" at every possible moment. Doesn't he get that most people are behind Rodgers now? Doesn't he comprehend that we are more complex human beings than that? Luckily Tirico and Jaws let him know he was being a turd, and he shut up.
A.J. Hawk's hair was longer than I realized it was. Fabio long.
The D was tight, and Nick Barnett got hotheaded.
Did you see Aaron Kampman's celebration in the first quarter after his sack? He grabbed the helmets of two other lineman, jumped up, and whacked his helmet in the middle of them. It was vaguely Three Stooges-like. I hope he does it every game.
I'm interested to see how our DBs fare against the Lions' receivers and a decent passer in Kitna. The D proved it could close down the run, but stopping Tavaris Jackson and the Vikings WRs doesn't really tell you much of anything.
(Note to readers: The Fontenot's going to be downsizing its coverage to a post once a week, maybe twice. Our more in-depth coverage has been moved to Bangalore, where we have everything typed for us more cheaply than we can do it ourselves. Sorry.)
