Game 1: A Major Vick-tory
by Boris on Mar.25, 2011, under Commentary, Game Recaps
I will be recapping the entire season starting with game #1. Are you ready? Enjoy the journey, one more time!
Everything the Green Bay Packers would be in 2010, they would introduce in the first rugged game of the season. That first contest against the Philadelphia Eagles was, in a very real sense, a microcosm of the entire season.
The opener of a wild 16-game campaign revealed the Packers’ tough defense, led by a flowing-haired madman linebacker named Clay Matthews. They debuted an offense that could be breathtaking one minute and stunningly inert the next. They made plays one minute and no plays the next. 
They suffered shattering, debilitating, injuries to key players that were seemingly impossible to recover from.
But at Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field, the Packers hopped on board their Super Bowl express and took the first in many winding, twisting turns. It would not be easy, but what else was new?!?!
