Matthew Stafford Is The Man! But Not Really

The legend of Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford began yesterday. Stafford threw for five touchdowns and a rookie-record 422 yards, as the Lions rallied for a 38-37 victory over the Cleveland Browns. However, that isn’t quite the whole story. Stafford threw the game-winning touchdown pass with zero seconds on the clock after suffering a [...]

We’ve got it right here for you! If, like me, you were watching something exciting on television last night like the MLS Cup instead of the two crap teams NBC put on Sunday Night Football, you probably missed it. Well, not to worry. We have the shot of Chicago Bears’ receiver Devin Hester’s ass for [...]
Harris, Kampman Done For the Year

As we mentioned yesterday, the Green Bay Packers win over the San Francisco 49ers likely came at a cost. The cost is, unfortunately, higher than anyone had planned for, as both outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris will be lost for the season with torn ACLs. While the Packers will be down two [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. 49ers

Monty: If the Green Bay Packers are going to prove themselves anything other than a mediocre team this season, this is where their run begins. The Packers match up favorably with the 49ers. On offense, San Francisco runs the ball and when they pass, their main weapon is tight end Vernon Davis. The Packers strength [...]
Stopping Davis Key For Packers

We talked earlier about the San Francisco 49ers being a running team and the potential impact of Frank Gore, but the key to the Green Bay Packers’ chances on Sunday is stopping tight end Vernon Davis. Davis had three poor seasons to open his career, but has blossomed into a big time playmaker under 49ers [...]
49ers Reflect Coach Mike Singletary

The Green Bay Packers opponent this week, the San Francisco 49ers, have become a reflection of both coach Mike Singletary and the team he played for, the Chicago Bears, in the coach’s 13 months on the job. Singletary has instilled a toughness in the 49ers and, not surprisingly, his team plays much the same way [...]
Brett Favre: Demoralizing Our Troops

You know, you’d think this would be one of my assinine, satirical looks at the world of the Green Bay Packers and their sworn enemy, the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, this is a completely true story. Detainees at an Iraqi prison camp staffed by members of the Wisconsin National Guard are using Brett Favre to demoralize [...]

We all know what happens when the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing well. We all pile on coach Mike McCarthy (and rightfully so) and general manager Ted Thompson. Well, in Chicago they do it a little differently. When the Bears are playing poorly, they pile it on their former Messiah, quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has [...]

The Green Bay Packers have officially given up on quarterback Brian Brohm, whom general manager Ted Thompson selected with a second round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Brohm was signed off the Packers practice squad by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, and despite having an open roster slot after releasing receiver Jake Allen earlier [...]

There have been some great matchups in the history of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers series, but the high point came in the mid-to-late ’90s. Those years signaled a changing of the guard in an NFL once ruled by the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. A well-built Green Bay Packers team with a mix [...]
Welcome to the Team, Jake Allen – You’re Cut!

Update: Allen was claimed on waivers by the offensively challenged Cleveland Browns. ———- The Green Bay Packers promoted wide receiver Jake Allen from the practice squad on October 27, after injuries to Jordy Nelson, Brett Swain and Jermichael Finley had decimated their receiving corp. Today, they gave Allen the old heave ho. Allen played briefly [...]

He’s one of the greatest coaches in Green Bay Packers’ history. He’s one of the greatest coaches (and worst general managers) in Seattle Seahawks’ history. Now, the Cleveland Browns want to ruin all of that. According to Cleveland.com’s Tony Rossi and former Browns’ great Jim Brown’s loose lips, Browns owner Randy Lerner is trying to [...]

A report came out of the Twin Cities today that Brett Favre may be planning on sticking around for another year to torment the Green Bay Packers… I mean, to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Favre is, of course, already signed for $13 million next season, but we all know how the postseason retirement [...]
Conservative Packers’ Offense Could Become Norm

We talked about it before the Dallas Cowboys’ game – the Green Bay Packers had to employ an offensive game plan that included copious amounts of Ryan Grant and quick passes to negate the opposing team’s pass rush. That’s just what the Packers did, and the result was an unspectacular but effective offensive performance and [...]

The Green Bay Packers will enter this week’s game with the San Francisco 49ers the healthiest they’ve been since early in the season. The team was buoyed this past week by the return of receiver Jordy Nelson, who had been out since week four. Expected to return from injury this week are linebackers Aaron Kampman [...]

Well, we thought we’d never really get to the bottom of this, but it looks like we have. More details have emerged in the Green Bay Packers’ firing – and coach Mike McCarthy’s role therein – of long-time grounds crew employee Mike Wood. As we reported on Friday, Wood was dismissed after reportedly telling McCarthy, [...]
Was Kampman’s Absence Good For Packers?

The Green Bay Packers played their best defensive game of the season on Sunday without Aaron Kampman. I know it will probably be considered heresy to even suggest, but you have to wonder if the Packers defense isn’t better without Kampman. Consider these known truths. Kampman, who sat out Sunday’s game with a concussion, has [...]

The main reason the Green Bay Packers beat the surging Dallas Cowboys 17-7 on Sunday was their defense, and the main reason their defense played so well is because they blitzed more than they have all season. According to ESPN, the Packers blitzed just over 50 percent of the time on Sunday – a marked [...]

The Green Bay Packers’ defense that has largely been absent since the team’s last win – over the Cleveland Browns – essentially saved the Packers’ season in Sunday’s 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys. That unit everyone remembers from the preseason and dominating wins over the lowly Detroit Lions and Browns was back in full [...]
