<p>The Green Bay Packers managed to eke it out against the New Orleans Saints and the referees this time around, saving Lambeau Field from implosion.</p><p>12:45, 1st quarter Ugly start for the Packers offense, which gets an opening possession for a rare time only to go three and out.</p><p>The Packers run Cedric Benson on 1st and 2nd down, getting 2 yards and then 5 around left end. On 3rd and 3, Aaron Rodgers takes too long to come off Greg Jennings running the seam route. James Jones initially hooks a couple yards beyond the first down, but as he's supposed to do, he then works his way back towards Rodgers. By the time Rodgers throws him the ball he's on the wrong side of the first down. Jordy Nelson is in the middle of the field and open. Punt.</p><p>11:00, 1st quarter Amazingly, the Packers actually start the game in their base defense, but showing a correction from previous weeks. Instead of relying on their OLBs to cover the slot, they let the OLBs go to the flat while the outside corners collapse on the slot. The Saints go three and out themselves when they try an outside run on 3rd and 1 and mistakenly think they can run away from Clay Matthews without blocking him. Wrong. Matthews makes the tackle in the backfield with help from A.J. Hawk.</p><p><a href="http://www.totalpackers.com/2012/10/03/tivo-time-packers-vs-saints/">Keep reading...</a></p>
