It was pretty clear to me when things turned around defensively for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. When Dom Capers decided to move back into his more traditional 3 man fronts the Packers were able to slow the Jets down. After allowing 21 points on the first 3 drives and giving everyone in Green…
For most of the Favre/Rodgers era the Green Bay Packers have played a prominent game to begin the season. They have played in the opening Thursday Night game twice. They have opened against the 49ers twice in the past 3 years. They used to open up against the Eagles during their prime. Make no bones about…

Coly Lyerla hurt his knee as well. All three players will be put on injured reserve and none of them will be on the 2014 53 man…
