During the offseason, Brian Gutekunst seemed hellbent on fixing the Green Bay Packers defense. Unlike his predecessor, Gutekunst did not think he could just draft and develop then ‘poof’ everything was fixed. Gutekunst dropped bags with signing Z’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Adrian Amos. He also included some draft and develop in there with bringing in Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. All of these plays have found a way to contribute for the Green Bay Packers in the first three weeks of the season. It is why the Packers are one of the few teams that remain undefeated. Packers won again on Sunday with a 27-16 win.

Player of the Game: Preston Smith – What a game from one of the aforementioned new pieces of the Green Bay Packers. Smith balled out there with three sacks and a forced fumbled that the Packers recovered near their goal line. Smith was devastating off the edge all game long. He frustrated the Denver Broncos’ offense line throughout the game. They did not have an answer for his size and speed. He is already above his sack total from last season. Mike Pettine knows what type of players are perfect for his system.

Honorable Mention: Marquez Valdes-Scantling – This is a pretty encouraging game from MVS. We started to see some haters around the local talk radio and Twitter space with Valdes-Scantling yet he stepped up on Sunday afternoon. In the first quarter on the first drive of the game, Aaron Rodgers received a free play and found Valdes-Scantling streaking down the field for a touchdown. He nailed him deep and the team never looked back. MVS finished the game with six catches, and 99 yards.

One Thing I Liked: Packers did exactly what they should have against Joe Flacco – Packers defense knew Joe Flacco gives up the ball with bad interceptions and turnovers. That is obvious and something that happens often with him. Flacco did exactly that. He had a bad interception to Darnell Savage and fumbled a ball near their own team’s goal line. Packers also received another turnover on Jaire Alexander snatching a ball directly out of Noah Fant’s hands.

One Thing I Didn’t Like: Can we stop with Chris Myers’ broadcasts? – For the second straight week, Packers fans dealt with Chris Myers being the broadcaster for FOX. That is enough to kill a man. While Dick Stockton is old, he can still keep it together. Myers seemed unprepared and unfocused throughout the game. It almost felt like he downed a couple of Miller Lites before the broadcast. Let’s hope that’s the last one of the year.

Next up: Packers will stay home for a quick game on Thursday night against the battered Philadelphia Eagles. Philly lost their second straight game losing to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Eagles are banged up across the board. They’re missing several key pieces. Packers are playing them at the right time. Aaron Rodgers owned the Eagles throughout this career and will look to continue it on Thursday night.
