Uptempo football and more plays is what Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy wants from his 2014 team. If the third preseason game against the Oakland Raiders was a carbon copy of how the season will look for the Packers, football fans and Packer opponents can expect a lot of no huddle and some unconventional play calling as well.

Starting off the game, McCarthy got the fast-paced offense rolling. In a seven-play, 73 yard drive, quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the team in a non-huddle fast paced attack that featured six runs by Eddie Lacy and one big pass to Rodgers' new tight end, Richard Rodgers.

Lacy and Rodgers looked comfortable standing along side in the shotgun. Five of the six runs on that first drive were from the shotgun and ran without a huddle. Lacy capped off the drive with a one-yard run for a touchdown.

The Packers then decided to go for two instead of kicking the extra point. This was one of four two-point conversions attempted by the Packers.

"It's about taking advantage of situational football in preseason," McCarthy said. "We made a conscious decision going into preseason that we wanted to work more on two-point plays and fourth-down calls."

The Raiders responded with a short drive after kicker Mason Crosby's kick gave them the ball on their own 40. The Raiders went to the ground attack with their new running back Maurice Jones-Drew. Jones-Drew played the last eight seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars before becoming a free agent and joining the Raiders.

Jones-Drew scored on a 40 yard run and just like that the Raiders struck back. Staying with the conventional call though, they went for an extra point making the score 8-7 in favor of the Packers.

The Packers got the ball back and went back to the no-huddle offense. They ran five straight plays from the no-huddle before facing a fourth-and-one from their own 40. Staying true to his insistance to go for more fourth down plays, McCarthy took a risk and quickly ran another no huddle shotgun run, which appeared to convert when James Starks ran left end for one yard, but the play was called back for holding and the Packers finally decided to punt.

Packers' newly acquired defensive end/linebacker Julius Peppers recorded his first sack of the preseason season on the next drive.

Rodgers threw 20 passes in the game completing nine of those passes in the six series he appeared in.

Rodgers did take advantage of the short pass though. He dumped off a pass to DuJuan Harris early in the second quarter that the running back took for 31 yards. The Packers made it to the Raiders' 12 yard line and faced a fourth-and-three. Again, McCarthy wanted to go for it, and Rodgers easily tricked the Raiders' defense with a perfectly-timed stop route pass to Jordy Nelson. Nelson easily walked into the end zone.

The Raiders couldn't get much going with their offense early in the game. Matt Schaub looked out of sync with his receivers for most of the game. The quarterback played into the third quarter but only completed 13 of 27 passes and threw no touchdowns.

Rodgers had one final drive in the second quarter and he took advantage of it. He led the team down the field with help from Harris and Starks and ended the drive with a six-yard pass to tight end Andrew Quarless.

On that drive, Raiders linebacker Sio Moore appeared to be seriously injured with a neck injury and had to be carted off the field. His coach Dennis Allen said "the initial word is really mostly a neck strain."

In the third quarter, Schaub threw a pretty pass to former Packer James Jones and Jones hauled it in for what looked like a great catch and a touchdown. Replay officials looked at it and it claimed that Jones was bobbling the ball, even though it looked like a clean catch on the replays shown on the scoreboard replay in the stadium.

Matt Flynn and Scott Tolzien took over for Rodgers for the second half. Flynn had little success (4-10, 0 TD, 1 INT) and threw an interception right at fifth overall draft pick Khalil Mack of the Raiders. Tolzien looked sharp going 8-11 and throwing one touchdown.

When Schaub was finally pulled in the third quarter, the Raiders backup Matt McGloin had a little more success than his teammate. He was able to lead the team to two late fourth quarter drives that made the final score a little closer than the game actually was. The Raiders final touchdown came after McGloin hit Brice Butler for a 28-yard touchdown with only 11 seconds remaining.

Although the Packers looked good Friday night, news Saturday morning revealed that defensive lineman B.J. Raji is likely out for the season with a torn biceps.
