Starting out as HC for the Green Bay Packers! Ill stay HC till Rodgers has 1 year left on his contract. At that point Ill retire and become an owner. Not sure which team but it might be the bills or raiders. I got four years till that happens.
Anyway, I created my own playbooks for use in game. Defense is a 3-4. My offense I run a Single-back set. I have Pistol and Single-back formations and Shotgun. Also have I form and split back for random use.
So we went 4-0 in the preseason. Here is a list of presason cuts we made to get to a 53 man roster
We signed WR Brandon Banks to a 1 year deal from Free agency. He will be our 7th WR and our primary KR/
PR.
So week 1 opening day. With visit the 49ers in a rematch from last years playoff game. Our defense would come up huge in this game. We sacked Kapernick 4 times and picked him off another 4 times. Aaron Rodgers had 5 TDs and Lacy ran for 114 yards and 1 TD in a blow out win, 52-3.
UP next the Redskin visit Wisconsin. This one was a bit closer. Franklin and Lacy combined for 111 yards and Rodgers was a bit off with 2 INTs but the Pack still held on and won 38-23.
Up next we got a few trade offers for some players. We traded Alex Green to Tampa for a 2014 6th and 7th round pick. Also we traded Kuhn to Atlanta for a 2014 5th, 6th, and 7th round pick. We then signed FB Spencer ware and HB Brandon Jacobs to 1 years deals. The reasoning is I wanted to put Jacobs at FB since I dont use a FB that much and when I do its to run with the F or put him out for a pass. Little did I know I cant change a HB to a FB until the off season so we signed Ware to satisfy the FB requirement.
Also Kuhn was in his final year of his contract and at 30 years old I figured I would send him to a team that would use him. The possibility exists for me to pick him up in the off-season if he is a FA.
So up next week 3 action. Time to visit the Bengals. Not much in the way of stats fr either team but the Packers managed to score 31 points and win 31-7.
UP next week 4,A bye week! So we took this time to look at re-signing players. We offer Jermichael Finley a contract the week prior and he declined so....I put him on the trade block. The Broncos expressed interest and we made a deal. We got a 2014 3rd and 7th round pick. SO now in need of a TE I signed Free Agent Andrew Quarless, yep the same guy I cut in preseason!
Also we submitted contract offers to the folowing players:
DT R. Pickett
LE M. Neal
WR J.Jones
SS M.D. Jennings
LE B.J. Raji
FS M. Burnett
RE C.J. Wilson
So up next week 5 as we host the Lions. Horrible day for Rodgers as he threw 3 INTs and only 2 TDs. Lacy would run for 134 yards and a TD. Rodgers and Franklin would add a rushing TD each as the Packers survived 35-21.
On to week 6 and a trip to Baltimore, but first an injury update. KR/
PR B Banks is out for 7 weeks with a Ruptured Disk in his back. Earliest return is week 13.
The Ravens proved to be very good against the run and almost good enough against the pass. A low scoring defensive battle which saw the Packers come out on top 21-7.
Week 7 saw the browns come to town and leave town with a loss. THe Packers won 24-10.
Week 8 was a trip to Minnesota for a Sunday night game against the Vikings. Lacy out rushed Peterson 139 yards to 87 and the Pack would win 20-13!
Week 9 was up next but first so re-signing news. We resigned RE C.J Wilson to a 5 12.5 mil contract. Also FS M Burnett accepted a 5 year 8.99 mil contract. LE M. Neal and DT R.Pickett denied several offers so we have cut talks and will let them go in the off season.
On to the big game, A Monday night show down between bitter rivals Bears Packers! SO i turned out to be Bear season in Green Bay as the Packers killed the Bears 52-0!! 315 yards and 5 TDs from Rodgers and 111 yards and 1 TD from Lacy.
UP next week 10, LE B.J Raji notified the team that he accepted the contract offer of 6 years for 33 mil. and SS M.D Jennings signed his 4 year 4.52 mil offer.
UP next the Eagles visit Lambeau. This was a weird game. Eagles revived the opening kick and had the ball all of the 1st quarter and scored a bout a minute into the 2nd quarter. Eagles would score 17 points in the 2nd quarter and we managed 3 at the end of the quarter. At half time we had the ball for 1 minute and 43 seconds out of the possible 14 minutes. second half went a bit better. we managed to score 21 points in the 4th and win it 31-28. we ended the game with 7 minutes off possession. Huge scare but we came back from 17 down to win.
UP next the New York Giants. We ran through them and easily won 31-10.
WR J.Jones also resigned with us to the tune of a 6 year 19.5 mil contract.
So as we enter week 12 the Packers are 10-0 and in first place in the division and conference.
So up next for the Packers:
VS Vikings
AT Lions
VS Falcons
Sorry for the long post, had 12 weeks to get into it lol.
