New York Jets vs. Green Bay Packers: Twitter Reactions and Quotes

Of the questions surrounding the Green Bay Packers entering Week 2, none were bigger than the right tackle situation. Bryan Bulaga sprained his MCL midway into the opener against the Seattle Seahawks. At the end of the week, his status was heightened to questionable.

His replacement, another former first-round pick, Derek Sherrod, didn't do great in a replacement role. According to Pro Football Focus (subscription required), Sherrod lead the NFL in allowed sacks in the first week of the season, despite not playing a full game. He also was graded out as the second to worst tackle in the league with a minus-6.9 grade.

In the end, Bulaga was held inactive, meaning Sherrod got the nod for his first start at tackle in his career. Head coach Mike McCarthy said it was a "big opportunity" for him right before the game, according to Jay Sorgi of 620 WTMJ.

On the first offensive play of the game, Aaron Rodgers and Corey Linsley had a misfire on the snap. From the looks of it, the fault should have been put on Rodgers. Against Seattle, the rookie center had one incident where Rodgers was publicly yelling at him on the field. The issue was over a miscommunication, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

There were no fumbled snaps or exchange issues, though. The first "blunder" of the game was on the starting quarterback.

The defense came out in interesting sets. Davon House, a contract-year cornerback, hadn't played a snap of defense last week, but was in the dime over Casey Hayward to start Week 2. With both of said corners in a contract season in the coming two seasons, plus Micah Hyde still flexing from safety to cornerback, questions should be raised if this is a test to determine which one to bring back for the long-term future.

Green Bay also was playing a lot of 4-3 looks early in the game, too. This is no surprise, as the limitations on the defensive line constrain the team in a 3-4 base defensive. Instead of three interior defensive linemen, the 4-3 only asks for two, pairing two edge-rushers on the outside of them. This was a better decision, based on personnel.

Early in Week 2, Sherrod carried his negative momentum over from Week 1. Quickly becoming an issue for the squad, they also allowed a second sack on their first drive since their one-snap fumble after the opening kickoff. That sack, though, was the fault of either Eddie Lacy or the pass protection call. The New York Jets sent seven rushers, and only six players stayed back to pass block for Rodgers.

The new-age NFL offense utilizes the option, in some form, more than in the past. Green Bay learned the hard way against San Francisco in the playoffs, a moment embedded into the memory of Packers fans. Against Seattle, the first explosive play of the season was allowed off a zone-read pop pass. Rookie safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix missed an open-field tackle on the play.

What the option does is make sure that everyone has to play assignment football to prevent a big play. Unfortunately for the Packers, their safeties and linebackers have a tendency to miss tackles. After Clay Matthews was confused as the read-defender, Morgan Burnett and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix both missed the ball-carrier passing by.

One of the largest knocks on Sam Shields is that he tends to bite on the first break a receiver makes. That's both good and bad. On one hand, he'll make plays others won't be able to, especially at his speed, but on the other, he'll get beat badly on double-moves at times.

Between the Geno Smith-to-Eric Decker exchange, Sam Shields indeed was beaten badly.

To put the Jets up three scores, Chris Ivory, who was part of the focus of our defensive game plan for this game, took it in for pay dirt. Green Bay's shallow defensive line depth had already shown. In the red zone, it's going to be a liability all season long, unless someone steps up midseason. At this point, though, there are several penetrators, but not enough stout run defenders on the squad.

The Jets took over eight minutes to gain 80 yards on the Green and Gold for the drive.

According to the Journal Sentinel's Tyler Dunne, the Packers moved to a 4-3 base to get key defenders in one-on-one situations. With only two quarterback hits prior to the interception, the Packers' game plan finally started to flash defensively. The pressure-forced interception went down in the stat books for Tramon Williams, but defensive lineman Mike Daniels was the one who made the largest impact on the rep.

Off of the interception, Green Bay saw their first big pass of the game. Two drives previously, second-round rookie Davante Adams had first replaced Jarrett Boykin in three-wide receiver sets with Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb also on the field. On this play, "third" running back DuJuan Harris picked up a "Mike" backer and allowed Aaron Rodgers to hit Adams on the slant. From there, he ran it deep into scoring range for the squad.

The throw and catch set up a Cobb six-yard reception for a score. That first touchdown got Green Bay within five points, down 16-21 at the half. After going 97 yards in one drive, the offense had momentum heading into the second portion of the game. ESPN's Rob Demovsky alluded to Adams taking over for Boykin from that point on.

Again, a big play entering the red zone led to a touchdown. Here, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson, who went over the 100-yard mark for the game with the catch. Entering scoring range, the Packers moved the ball to the 1-yard line when Rodgers quickly took a snap after second down. On a roll-out to the right, he found Cobb for the go-ahead score.

On the conversion attempt, Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson both got unnecessary roughness calls, which lead to Wilkerson being thrown out of the match. On the second try, the Packers got in, giving them a three-point 24-21 lead.

Between the Packers' second and third scoring drives, the Jets managed to tie it all up at 24-24. Nelson, already posting a 110-yard day, nearly cleared the 200-yard mark on this play. After playing on the left side versus Seattle, due to Richard Sherman playing the left cornerback spot, Nelson had a huge day playing on the right side of the field.

Dee Milliner, the former first-round pick out of Alabama, was the New York Jet in coverage. Against the Oakland Raiders, the Jets allowed rookie Derek Carr to throw for two long plays that kept them in the game. Milliner didn't play in Week 1, though. Many believed that Milliner would improve the New York coverage, but as NFL Network's Albert Breer said, the tandem "pulled Dee Milliner's pants down."

After exchanging drives without scores, the New York Jets began to drive for a tie. On 4th-and-4 in the middle of the field, Geno Smith threw a touchdown pass, but it was called back as Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg apparently called a timeout right before the snap got off. On the next play, the Jets did convert the fourth down, but it didn't come close to a touchdown like the previous snap.

The Packers offense again forced a fourth down after the chains reset, including a play where former defensive end Julius Peppers dropped into coverage and got a pass breakup. Green Bay then broke up Geno Smith's fourth-down heave into the end zone with Sam Shields and Morgan Burnett on the coverage.

After the turnover on downs, the Jets never got the ball back. Jordy Nelson had a huge catch for a first down, effectively ending the game, and putting him over 200 yards for the game. The Packers had done it. They came back from a three-score deficit to win the game and build momentum at home after falling short in the first week of the season.
