Comparing where we are in Week 2 going into Week 3 of the 2013 season vs. where we were LAST season at this point. A lot of things jumped out at me, but here are a few of the bright spots.
1) Aaron Rodgers
At this point in 2012 he had 3 TDs and 3 INTs, we were having trouble with communication between QB and receiving corps. Rodgers was getting sacked left and right.
This season so far Rodgers has 7 TDs to 1 INT (that shouldn't even count BTW.), Rodgers has been sacked 4 times (I believe.), and it appears that the relationship with the receiving corps is a lot stronger.
2) The running game.
In 2012 we only had 2 rushing TD scored by a RB. 1 by Benson, 1 by Starks. The rest were all scored by Rodgers. Although I do feel like one of Rodgers main assets is his legs and ability to move and create plays outside of the pocket I don't LOVE the idea of him having to pick up a 1st down on the ground. Starks was also very injury prone.
So far this season we have already matched our RB rushing TD total, and we have a 100 yard game under our belt! Something that has not been done since 210. Starks looks strong, and Lacy may be our running future.
3) The O-Line.
We are on pace to give up the least amount of sacks in a long, long time. Bahktiari looks good, Barclay looks strong (albeit a small mishap last week that was quickly corrected.), and EDS is doing a great job at Center. My main worry on the O-Line is Josh Sitton. Normally he is our best lineman, but I think he is playing hurt and as a result is a resulting to holding the pass rushers rather than blocking them.
These are just a few observations of mine. What have you noticed so far that gives you some REAL good feeling about making it to, and winning Super Bowl XLVIII?
