Now that I think we’ve sufficiently covered the stench of the Green Bay Packers 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, it’s time to turn our attention to this weekend’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Like the Packers pre-Favre opponent, the Cleveland Browns, the Buccaneers are bad. In fact, they’re the only winless team left in [...]

There certainly is a lot of negative commentary surrounding the Green Bay Packers, right now. We’ve provided quite a bit of it ourselves, and rightfully so, the Packers stunk up the joint on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. You’ve got Cullen Jenkins openly questioning Dom Capers’ handling of the defense. There’s the statistical disparity between [...]
Where Do the Packers Fit In?

Wildly inconsistent. That’s one way you could describe the 2009 Green Bay Packers. Here are some others – undisciplined, young, lacking in leadership, lacking in poise, a talented but incomplete team, frustrating, not ready to take it to the next level, immature… I could go on, but please, feel free to add your own. The [...]

The Green Bay Packers have piled up some eye-popping stats in their games against the Minnesota Vikings – of the negative variety. Two things immediately jump out when you look at the two games, both of which the Vikings won. Pressuring the quarterback The Packers’ inability to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers is well documented. The [...]
Favre Didn’t Want to Play for Packers

It was a seemingly simple comment made by Troy Aikman during the Green Bay Packers contest with Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but it made me pause nonetheless. Aikman said Brett Favre didn’t want to play for the Packers, anymore. I didn’t really understand it at the time and Thom Brennaman just [...]

For the second time after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a member of the Green Bay Packers’ defense is pointing fingers. The first time, it was cornerback Charles Woodson, who openly and loudly questioned why the Packers didn’t blitz Brett Favre more. That was a good question, at the time. The Packers routinely sent [...]

Total Packers takes a look at today’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings game and offers their predictions. Monty: Forget about Brett Favre for a second. This game comes down to two things: turnovers and pressure. If the Packers can win the turnover battle and keep Aaron Rodgers off the ground, they’ll win going away. The [...]

We’ve published a lot of great stuff here at Total Packers this week, if I do say so myself. When the Green Bay Packers play the Minnesota Vikings, it just brings the best out of everyone… because the Vikings are a bunch of scumbags. So, here’s a roundup of the best from the past week. [...]

That’s right. The Gravedigger, Gilbert Brown, the 340-pound former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle would fart on Brett Favre. Brown and ESPN First Take host Jay Crawford had this exchange during Friday’s show (ESPN is apparently running a series of former Packers talking about Favre’s return to Lambeau Field – William Hendrson was on the [...]
How to be “Classy” for Brett Favre’s Return

In anticipation of Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers for the first time as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, the word “class” has been hanging in the air like an I-was-drinking-Pabst-for-12-hours-straight-yesterday fart. Not only has it lingered, but even when the stench has dissipated, you can’t help but [...]

You probably thought this would be one of my usual satirical looks at the Minnesota Vikings and/or their coach, but you wish. Remember on Monday when we told you about Brad Childress’ cross dressing incident? Well, now, thanks to Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe we have the hideous proof. Frankly, although the photos aren’t that [...]

Former Green Bay Packers’ fullback William Henderson – or as we always liked to call him, HONDO! – told ESPN’s First Take that he too will boo Minnesota Vikings quarterback when he returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday. Here’s snip of what HONDO! had to say. The full video of the interview follows. “As much [...]

As much as ESPN’s cheapening of sport continually makes me want vomit, Fox has actually outdone them this time. ESPN: “We got record ratings for a cable program for Brett Favre vs. the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.” Fox: “Oh yeah, well we’ll see your Favre and raise you a Favre! We’re gonna [...]

By now you’ve heard about Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt’s plans to “welcome back” Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in a “classy” fashion before the Vikings play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Schmitt solicited suggestions from the community and the announcement that we was doing so raised plenty of ire among Packers fans. Well, [...]

The Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites going into their contest with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Since the Packers are playing in Lambeau Field, that line simply means that the oddsmakers feel these two teams are evenly matched. Still, this season’s history says the Vikings are the better team. The Vikings are 6-1 to [...]

It’s been well documented. The Green Bay Packers have struggled on the offensive line this season. The Packers offensive linemen have given up an inordinate amount of sacks (25), committed far too many penalties and haven’t done much to help the struggling ground game. That is, until they played the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. The [...]

The Green Bay Packers have reportedly promoted receiver Jake Allen from the practice squad. Allen, who toiled on the Packers practice squad last season as well, will replace Brett Swain as the Packers fourth receiver. Swain was placed on injured reserve this week after inuring his knee against the Cleveland Browns. With Jordy Nelson also [...]
