As some of you loyal SnoTap readers might realize this is a name change from last week and last season. I made the decision for a variety of reasons, but this is what it will be going forward. The concept is pretty much the same as Star Ratings with a new name. Hope you guys enjoy it.
A-Game
Aaron Rodgers - There is a line in Gladiator where Maximus goes 'Are you not entertained, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?' I feel this is Rodgers for the entire game. One of those games where you talk about for the next 20 years of your life. Brett Favre had games like this where he would have deep balls and five or six touchdown games although they never seemed as efficient as what we saw from Rodgers on Sunday afternoon. He carved up Washington's defense and made it look easy. Cincinnati will be a great challenge for him this week.
James Jones - While this might frustrate some fantasy football owners, the Packers offense is truly unpredictable. Every game, it could be a new player. After Jones only had two targets and no catches in San Francisco to eleven catches for 178 yards. Pretty solid day at the office for Mr. Jones (Hold your Counting Crows jokes please). They made it a point to get the ball to Jones and he really works well in the middle of the field.
James Starks - This was a complete surprise. I did not see this one coming. When Eddie Lacy went down with a concussion, I figured the Packers would go with an all-out passing assault and ignore the run as they have so many times before. Green Bay used a nice mix with Starks and Rodgers, and the Buffalo product ran his ass off with people reminiscing about his 2010 NFL Playoff performance. If Starks stays at this level plus Lacy hopefully figuring it out, the Packers become even more lethal.
3rd Down Dominance - Some of the numbers were skewed with the fourth quarter as the Packers played more relax than they did in the other quarters, yet they shut Washington down Jon Taffer-style on third downs for most of the game. Whether it be a strong pass rush or their defensive backfield, they made the stops that did not happen against San Francisco.
B-Game
Sam Shields - Sticky played his ass off on Sunday. He had eight tackles, five of them being solo and also had three pass deflections. Washington's passing offense is predicated on running a lot of vertical routes with speedsters, Pierre Garcon and Santana Moss (I use that lightly with Moss as he can soon play in the 55+ leagues) and Green Bay took that out of the equation entirely. Shields and Tramon Williams deserve credit for that. They will have a challenge with A.J. Green this week.
Jordy Nelson - This is where grades could seem a little harsh. Nelson's catches were A-plus do not get me wrong, but he only had three of them for the game. Two ended up being touchdowns and man, did he make all of the catches look pretty? FOX's Joe Buck seemed like he was falling in love watching Nelson play on Sunday and I really cannot blame him. Jordy is ballin' early on this season.
Mike Neal - My buddy Seth and I have a running ongoing joke about Mike Neal that he is just a workout warrior and would never really pan out for the Packers. Well both of us probably need to stop joking about that one. Neal made the transition to at least play some linebacker this year and he had an interception on Sunday on a fourth down play. Neal is a good player and yes, I still hope every day he stays healthy.
C-Game
Jerron McMillian - Here's the thing. He had five tackles. The middle of the field was still pretty open and I am scared as hell to watch him trying to take on the duel threat tight end group of Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert, but he played better. He did not have the game where it looked like he puked all over himself throughout the game. McMillian might be a player that needs to be put in at different points of the game and not for the whole thing.
Davon House - WE WANT MORE HOUSE. I have no idea how effective he would be if he played more than House did on Sunday, but his playtime needs to increase next week. House had a sack off the corner, a pass deflection and seemed to be everywhere on Special Teams. House might be the player who will fill the gap for the absence of Casey Hayward.
D-Game
Robert Griffin III - This is the section where I tell you like the 14140 people on the Internet that Robert Griffin III does not look the same player. He clearly does not want to get hurt again making Washington changed their offense entirely this year and the team has been limited. Maybe they figure it out in the coming weeks but next week against Detroit is an absolute must-win.
Don Barclay - Don is going to be the scapegoat of the offensive line this week. They did not play consistently this week and I felt like Barclay was the weakest of the group. He had a penalty on him and allowed too much through.
Iowa struggle is so real - A couple of us ventured to Des Moines, Iowa for a wedding this weekend. It was a grand time honestly, but trying to find the Packer game on the radio coming home was damn near impossible. We tried using a smart phone... no luck. We had the FOX pregame only to get like an NFL Redzone Channel then it shit out on us sooner than later. My buddy Brett was reading the play-by-play on ESPN while I was reading tweets from people for awhile. Thankfully, we found a radio broadcast by the second quarter.
F-Game
Josh Sitton... A target? - I have no idea if Sitton's back is the reason for all the holds so far this season, but man, it is becoming a problem. I believe, correct me if I am wrong, but officials watch tape too so maybe Sitton is getting fingered by the zebras as a holder, or opposing teams are telling the refs to watch #71. I think Sitton is fine, but he needs to cut out the holding.
Brandon Meriweather - A dirty player. It is really hard to call Merriweather something other than that. He launched his head at two Packers running backs. He will be fined and if he likely pulls something like this again, Meriweather will probably be suspended.
The whole Redskins secondary - They are so damn bad. Detroit has a great passing attack and Matthew Stafford could go off big time. I have no idea how Washington will stop their aerial attack.
