"A win is a win." That's what the Packers can take out of this.
The defense looked a lot like they did in the preseason.. They bent a few times, but only broke once. They gave up 13 points, but had 4 interceptions, including one that set up one of 2 TDs, one that sealed the win at the end, and one with their back up against the wall. How about Brandon Chillar hopping over a runningback to make the sack.
The offensive line didn't look good at all today, besides a few good runs from grant, their pass protection was terrible. If I were Allen Barbre, I'd be offering to buy Rodgers a beer, because he owes him at least that. He looked foolish out there. Add to that a penalty that negated a huge run, a safety, and the Rodgers having a hard time getting into rhythm. This wasn't helped by a LOT of dropped passes... even 2 by the usually sure-handed Donald Driver.
They came through when it mattered though and Rodgers connected on a bomb to Jennings to win the game.
Jordy Nelson looked great returning the ball.. The opening kick return looked good and I loved the effort on the last return.
A lot of improvements need to be made, but its good to get a win out.

Just thought the D needed a bit more of a vociferous pat on the back:
4 turnovers
held QB under 50% completion rate
held running game under 100 yards and under 3 yds per carry.
13 points
Fantastic debut for a new scheme. 7 LBs had tackles last night.
Good start to the season with a one plus the Packers are 1-0 in the division. The Packers' defense was very good and the offense needed to get going. Overall great start to the season.
