It wasn’t pretty, but the Green Bay Packers will be playing in the postseason for the seventh straight year after their 30-20 win over Oakland on Sunday. Interception No. 1 against Green Bay, an underthrown force intended for Clive Walford, was returned 34 yards to set up the Packers’ first touchdown.

On Friday the International Monetary Fund warned that the programme was under threat from apparent rejection by parliament of critical tax amendments and the draft 2016 budget.
As sluggish as the offense looked, the Packers have the ability to go with two different attacks, the one they used to pile up 200 yards rushing against Dallas and the one that caused the Raiders to spread out and break off their five-man fronts.

When asked if he thinks he has the backing of the United board, Van Gaal said “I think so, but you never know”. Fabregas was one of a number of Chelsea players booed by supporters during Saturday’s win over Sunderland .
Carr found Packers cornerback Damarious Randall on his next throw, and the rookie returned it 44 yards for a touchdown. He threw the touchdown pass to Jones nearly immediately after the Raiders grabbed their only lead and finished with 204 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception.
And a strong effort but what was ultimately a loss to Green Bay.
“I think we got three points out of it and it wasn’t very productive”, he said.
This led to some interesting postgame comments from Rodgers. We had less than 300 yards.
The Raiders had a first down at the Packers seven yard line. “I know offensively there’s a lot of stuff we need to clean up and we can do better”.
Referencing the team’s 92-yard drive that fell short of producing a touchdown, Rodgers wasn’t looking at the positive in that, either.
Watch the interview for yourself on the team’s website.
Randall Cobb, Bryan Bulaga and Micah Hyde were likely the three most talked about Packers in Saturday’s third preseason game. Cobb has 65 catches on 111 targeted passes for 737 yards and six TDs. Those two were supposed to be the Packers’ top wide receivers after Jordy Nelson went down in the preseason. The final two passes going to James Jones. Packers starting LT David Bakhtiari left the game late in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury and did not return…. On Sunday, they committed key pass-interference penalties that led to Green Bay scores.
The first of those two is against the Cardinals, and it could be huge when it comes to seeding, as the Packers trail them by two games. They’ll count in the league standings, but they’ll mainly be exhibitions for a team that still has a ton of promise and nearly as much to work on before it becomes a regular habitant of the playoffs, like the green and gold team from the Midwest with whom they spent a rainy Sunday afternoon at O.co Coliseum. It was the first of the 2015 first round pick’s career, and helped propel the Packers to a 14-0 lead. Between Eddie Lacy and James Starks, the offense dominated the Cowboys in that game with their 35 carries.
The lengthy interception return has been a Carr specialty.
The second quarter started with the Raiders facing third-and-goal on the 5. “I can just tell you he’s a good player”. But it didn’t carry over a week later. Poor play from the offensive line contributing to what was a hard day at the office for the second year quarterback. There is nothing too unsafe on the offense, with the exception of Amari Cooper.
It doesn’t appear anyone can keep Cooper under wraps for long, and he’s only 21 years old.
The highlight for the Raiders was rookie Cooper cracking the 1,000-yard milestone, as he caught six passes for 120 yards.

Those marks, along with Carr setting the franchise record for TD passes in a season are the best the Raiders can do for the remainder of this non-playoff season – the teams’ thirteenth consecutive season not making the playoffs.
