Packers 31, Lions 24

Whoo Hoo! The Pack finally get a win...and Brett gets his 400th career (and 401st, 402nd) TD pass. He's now only 18 behind tying Dan Marino's NFL record of 420. Pretty impressive.

Negatives:

1. The Packers defense this week (and the past few weeks) gave up too many points. Yes, the Packers offense put enough points on the board to overcome it, but that won't happen every game. But I will give them some credit (see positives).
2. Green fumbling on 3rd down with 1 minute+ to go. I think Packer fans across the country were clutching their chests.
3. McCarthy's decision to run the ball on 3rd down. There was so little time left, why not take a knee, delay of game, then a knee again, and punt? The Lions would have had about 10 seconds with the ball.
4. The Packers secondary: Ted Thompson put a lot of $$ into these players (namely Charles Woodson) and they haven't showed much.

Positives:

1. They won, they won!!
2. Brett Favre's superb play: 25 of 36 for 340 yards, 3 TDs, no INTs
3. Greg Jennings: he broke a short pass from Favre into a 75-yard TD. Awesome. Although Donald Driver deserves a little credit for the excellent block he threw downfield that allowed Jennings to score.
4. The O-line: They protected Favre well, allowed him time to throw and didn't allow a sack.
5. The Defense: They had two HUGE stops in the 4th quarter when the game was on the line.

Next week: Packers (1-2) at Eagles (2-1) on Monday Night
