Green Bay Packers News: Packers Look Forward To Rest, Chance To Regroup Entering Upcoming Bye Week

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:08:32 -0400

If life in the NFL were perfect, a team could ride off into the sunset of a bye week flying high and waiting to get some rest and relaxation for the first time since late July.

Unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers, the rest will come, but the opportunity for a confidence boost and a victory slipped away with Sunday's 23-20 loss to the St. Louis Rams at Lambeau Field.

Though it clearly would have been more enjoyable to finish on a positive note before heading into the break..

Green Bay Packers News: What A Relief: Herron Answers Call Of Increased Workload

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:05:51 -0400

Coming into Sunday's contest versus the Rams, Noah Herron didn't know if he was going to get one carry or 10 carries. For that matter, he didn't know if he was going to get any carries.

And he didn't really care.

Whatever role the second-year man out of Northwestern had was going to be up to the coaches. He just wanted to make sure that if Head Coach Mike McCarthy and the rest of team depended on him, he was going to be as prepared as he possibly could to answer the call.

Green Bay Packers News: Notebook: Defense Misses Chances For INTs

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:03:27 -0400

Much was made coming into Sunday's game of Rams quarterback Marc Bulger's streak of five games and nearly 200 pass attempts without an interception.

The Packers had some great chances to end that streak, and any one of those opportunities could have changed the course of the 23-20 loss.

Linebacker A.J. Hawk in the first half and cornerbacks Al Harris and Charles Woodson in the second half all had potential interceptions in their hands, but no one was able to pull one in.

Green Bay Packers News: Game Review: Rally Falls Just Short In 23-20 Loss To Rams

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:02:07 -0400

The ball was supposed to drop into the arms of a Packers receiver in the end zone for the winning touchdown, or sail through the uprights for the tying field goal to send the game into overtime.

Instead, the ball popped loose.

With the Packers a tantalizing 11 yards from completing a rally from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, quarterback Brett Favre had the ball knocked from his hand by defensive end Leonard Little rushing off the edge...

The St. Louis Rams used to be the most stylish team in the NFL. Now they're winning ugly -- to the tune of a surprising 4-1 start.

The Rams staved off a fourth-quarter comeback attempt by Brett Favre and the Packers, walking away with a 23-20 victory at Lambeau Field after a big defensive play in the final minute.

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 17:47:09 -0400

For the first time since the season opener, rookie Jason Spitz will be back in the starting lineup on Sunday.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy said on Friday that Spitz would start at right guard against St. Louis while fellow rookie Daryn Colledge would start at left guard. Those are the spots those two held at the start of training camp, but Colledge was demoted after the first preseason game with Spitz moving to the left side and a third rookie, Tony Moll, stepping in at right guard.

Green Bay Packers News: Jennings' Consistency Belies His Youth

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 17:45:41 -0400

When Greg Jennings recorded just one catch for 5 yards in the season opener against the Bears, questions inevitably were raised.

Where was the Jennings that led the NFL in receiving yards in the preseason? Was this young, rising star going to suffer through the inconsistencies so many rookie receivers do, making a big impact one week and disappearing the next?

Well, it looks for now as though that first game was an aberration. Since being shut out by the Bears until catching ..

Despite the Packers' struggles giving up the big play, the defense has made a few big plays, too, and there's no denying that the turnovers the defense has produced have had a significant impact on the team's chances to win thus far in 2006.

Three straight turnovers on the Saints' first three possessions helped produce a 13-0 lead in Week 2. An interception returned for a touchdown proved to be the difference in a seven-point win over the Lions in Week 3. And two fumble recoveries nea..
