Week 3 of the NFL ended with the first Super Bowl match in history: Packers vs. Chiefs. And with a deceptive 38-28 to the Packers, here we share the analysis:
The game was never closed
Midway through the third quarter, the Packers had a 31-7 advantage and the truth is that the game was over at halftime, when Alex Smith decided to run on the last play of the half before attempting to throw a pass to the annotation. The Chiefs offense was a disaster and the defense could never stop Aaron Rodgers.
We are fortunate to see Aaron Rodgers
And speaking of Green Bay QB, Rodgers seems to be on another level since a couple of years ago. At this time there is no more complete quarterback in the NFL and has the ability to do any pass in any situation, escape the pressure, generate defensive errors (4 to the Chiefs) and the perfect combination of touch and strength in the passes. If things go well at Green Bay we may be seeing the best QB in history, although it is too early to make that argument and is also true that New England quarterback won four titles.
The most predictable offensive in the NFL
Andy Reid and Alex Smith handled the predictable NFL offense. Carries through the middle, passes within 3 yards and a complete lack of WR until the game is out of reach. As if that was not enough, the Chiefs have converted only 5 of 30 third-down passes the passes thrown in that situation go 12 yards behind the line of the first down. Will there be a change in this attack soon?
Green Bay is the best team in the league.
And the truth is that there is a close second. Many may think the Patriots, but if Brady takes away two of their top three WR, five TD passes are impossible (Rodgers did so without D. Adams and Jordy Nelson). The defense has a bend but no break mentality and also recorded eight sacks against Alex Smith. The calendar looks pretty manageable until week 8 (in San Francisco and they receive both Rams and Chargers, rest and then go to Denver). Green Bay is proving to be the favorite team to reach the Super Bowl in the NFC.
