Predictions: Packers vs. Eagles
09/11/2010 - 12:05 pm
Tags: Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles
Posted in Philadelphia Eagles | 6 comments
Sarah: The 2010 Philadelphia Eagles are one of Andy Reid’s most unpredictable teams. Kevin Kolb is replacing Donovan McNabb at quarterback, LeSean McCoy is stepping in for Brian Westbrook at running back and Brandon Graham is filling in the gap left by Juqua Parker at defensive end. The list could go on. In short, there’s [...]

You know I hate posting press releases on here, but sometimes something comes along that even my cold, cold heart cannot ignore. This is one of those times and it demonstrates once again why the Green Bay Packers are the best organization in organizational history. On ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown (11 a.m.-1 p.m. ET), Anna’s [...]
Visanthe Shiancoe’s Butt Hurts

Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe is a little butt hurt because his joke of an organization isn’t getting as much attention as it was last season. No, that attention is now being focused on the Green Bay Packers and Shiancoe wants to have a cry about it. ”You’ve got to watch a team like [...]
Underwood Out, Neal And Bishop May Not Go Sunday

Posted in injuries | 1 comment
The Friday injury report essentially determines who will play and who won’t on Sunday in the NFL. For the Green Bay Packers, cornerback Brandon Underwood has officially been ruled out and defensive end Mike Neal and linebacker Desmond Bishop are questionable. The good news is the Packers will have all their starters on the field. [...]
Williams May Be Next In Line For An Extension

After the Green Bay Packers gave cornerback Charles Woodson a contract extension yesterday, there was was some speculation Tramon Williams might be next. Williams will start at cornerback opposite Woodson this season, at least until Al Harris returns from the physically unable to perform list and gets back into football shape. Although Williams commits his [...]
Let’s Get The Important Stuff About The Eagles Out Of The Way

The Green Bay Packers open against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, so I thought we should get the important stuff out of the way. Namely, the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders. I’ve never known Philadelphia for having an abundance of hot broads, but somehow, year after year, the Eagles put together a smokin’ squad of cheerleaders. So, [...]
Packers Reward Woodson With Two-Year Extension

The Green Bay Packers have locked up cornerback Charles Woodson for an additional two years. Woodson, the reigning NFL defensive player of the year, has three years remaining on his current deal. He will be 39 if he plays out the full contract, which seems unlikely. The deal is worth $55 million over the next [...]

I thought it appropriate to pass on this story in anticipation of tonight’s season-opening (finally!) tilt between Brett Favre’s Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints. Some of you may well be pulling for the old gray mare. I, of course, will be pulling for him to get killed (although slightly less so than usual, [...]
Packers Offensive Line Has Become A Strength

Posted in offensive line | 1 comment
No one would have considered the Green Bay Packers offensive line a strength last season, particularly in the first half. Part of the reason was the ineffectiveness of right tackle Allen Barbre, who was eventually replaced by Mark Tauscher. Another factor was injuries. Chad Clifton missed several games, forcing left guard Daryn Colledge and later [...]

Terrell Owens Says Something Smart

That would be a headline in and of itself because, let’s face it, most of the things that come out of Cincinnati Bengals receiver Terrell Owens’ mouth either aren’t too bright or aren’t worth listening to. That alone wouldn’t get Owens a mention on this blog, however. No, Owens would either have to say something [...]
Aaron Rodgers Rock & Roll

This is an awesomely terrible tribute song to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers by Eddy J. Lemberger. If fact, it’s so awesomely terrible and hilarious I can’t even describe it, although there is a verse that says “eats DBs grilled cheese for lunch.” In other words, we’re talking about a brilliant lyricist here. Via [...]

Ted Thompson may not be done tweaking the Green Bay Packers roster yet. The Packers brought in former Tampa Bay returner Clifton Smith and former Jacksonville safety Gerald Alexander for workouts, Tuesday. Smith was Pro Bowl return man for the Buccaneers in 2008 and has career averages of 28.3 yards on kickoff returns and 12.1 [...]

The Green Bay Packers will go into their week one game with the Philadelphia Eagles with receiver Jordy Nelson and cornerback Tramon Williams as their primary return men after cutting safety Will Blackmon, Saturday. Nelson will return kicks and Williams will return punts. Running back Brandon Jackson will also be in the mix as a [...]

It’s all going to come down to the offer, but several teams have reportedly inquired about the availability of Green Bay Packers guard/center Jason Spitz. Spitz has started 45 games for the Packers and has done so at both guard positions and center. He remains a valuable backup for the Packers, but teams like Oakland, [...]

The Green Bay Packers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-13, Thursday night in their preseason finale. The game wasn’t easy to watch. The starters played only one series and veterans Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Chad Clifton and Charles Woodson were healthy scratches. There were some interesting developments in the game, however, and [...]

Several members of the Green Bay Packers could be playing to impress other teams tonight. The Packers need to trim their roster by 22 players on Saturday, but it seems increasingly likely the team could make a trade. Some of the players who could potentially be on the move include tackle Breno Giacomini, guard/center Evan [...]

Posted in Graham Harrell | 10 comments
I was a little disappointed to read Rob Demovsky’s article earlier this week about Green Bay Packers third-string quarterback Graham Harrell. According to Demovsky, Harrell has little chance of making the Packers final roster. The team kept only two quarterbacks on their opening-day roster last season and that appears to be the way they’re leaning [...]
