Predictions: Packers vs. Vikings
Oct 5th
Total Packers takes a look at tonight’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings game and offers their predictions. Monty: The real question is how much emotion will play into this contest. The first team, or perhaps even the first player, who lets emotion dictate their actions is going to be in trouble. Still, how can emotion [...]
The Greatest Play in Packers vs. Vikings History
Oct 3rd
This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s seen the play, but we’re going to go out on a limb here and call Antonio Freeman’s miraculous Monday Night Football catch and run the greatest play in the history of the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings rivalry. The touchdown itself was a 46-yarder, but it [...]
Why Fret About Brett?
Sep 30th
Let me pose a question. Why fret about Brett? Really. I admit there has been a lot of hype and drama over the last year and a half; even the last five years with Brett Favre’s “will he or won’t he retire” game. Personally, I was really upset over Brett’s decision to retire from the [...]
Packers vs. Vikings: Let the Bullshit Fest Begin
Sep 29th
It’s only Tuesday, and already the spin machine is churning in anticipation of next Monday night’s meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings at the MetroBarn. Of course, Vikings’ coach Brad Childress’ latest comments are the lamest from either side, telling reporters the team’s Winter Park facility “won’t be vibrating” this week [...]
Packers Shape Up, But It’s Only the Rams
Sep 28th
The Green Bay Packers got a much needed win on Sunday, and the team looked better than it did the previous week against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, it should be pointed out that the St. Louis Rams are one of the worst teams in football. Still, a win is a win, and although the game [...]
Simmer Down Now, Simmer Down
Sep 23rd
Some great words of wisdom tonight from the Press-Gazette’s Mike Vandermause, who tells rabid Green Bay Packers’ fans something I’ve repeated many times already this week: Calm the heck down people! Admittedly, this is quite the turnaround from Vandermause’s Sept. 20 column “No quick fix can solve this mess,” which may have even spurred some [...]
The Green Bay Packers Are Bad
Sep 21st
There, I said it. The Green Bay Packers are bad, and it’s depressing. It’s become pretty apparent why the Green Bay Packers are bad, too, after a 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. This is a Bengals team that scored seven points last week against the Denver Broncos. That’s seven points against [...]
Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions
Sep 21st
To quote The Jeffrey Lebwoski, the plan has crashed into the mountain. More painfully one sided than the close score suggests, yesterday’s Green Bay Packers’ 31-24 defeat to the lowly Cincinnati Bengals exposed more weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the Packers. The Packers’ offensive line play was even shakier than last week and aside from a [...]
Good Morning From Total Packers
Sep 20th
Hi. We’re not going to beat around the bush this morning. We wanted to live blog during the game, but fuck. We’re fucking hungover. I don’t mean that we got really drunk last night, because hell, we certainly did that. I mean, we got really fucking drunk last night, and then had a bunch of [...]
Packers Youngest Team In NFL… Again
Sep 17th
For the fourth year in a row, the Green Bay Packers have the youngest team in the NFL at an average age of 25.7. The team also has the fewest players over 30, with four. I’ve bitched about this in the past because I felt quality teams had quality veteran leadership. However, at this point, [...]
Final Notes On The Packers vs. Bears
Sep 14th
The Green Bay Packers escaped Lambeau Field with a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears last night. I say escaped because despite a rousing performance by the Packers’ defense, which forced Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler into four interceptions and held Matt Forte to just 55 yards rushing, the team was lucky to come out with [...]
Packers Bears Live Blog
Sep 13th
Big time play by a big time player: Al Harris to close it out! Packers 21-15. ———- My stupid friends who are Bears fans just texted me before that play to Jennings. Idiots! mwahahahahahaha! ———- I apologize, that would be Aaron Rodger’s third fourth quarter comeback. The first two were against the Lions, which really [...]
An Ode To Charles Martin
Sep 10th
Well, the shit talking has started in earnest. I’ve been hearing drivel come out of the mouths of Chicago Bears’ fans for two days now – not that it’s anything different than what normally comes out of their mouths, but now they are directing it towards me and my beloved Green Bay Packers. I usually [...]
NFC North Preview
Sep 9th
Yesterday, I wrote about how the NFC North is shaping up as the strongest division in football, which says one thing: this division will be both tough and competitive. Any one of three teams has a legitimate opportunity to win the NFC North. In addition to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota [...]
Packers’ Preseason Finale and What It Meant
Sep 4th
The Green Bay Packers went into Nashville last night and largely stunk up the joint, getting drubbed by the Tennessee Titans, 27-13. The No. 1 offense played only one series, and the No. 1 defense did about the same, although linebackers Nick Barnett, Clay Matthews and Jeremy Thompson – all of whom saw their first [...]
Green Bay Packers: Starting to Look Like the Real Deal
Aug 29th
The Green Bay Packers hung on for a 44-37 preseason win over the defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals last night in Phoenix, but that really doesn’t begin to tell the story. A friend turned to me this morning and asked, “Do you ever remember a preseason when the Packers looked this good?” The answer is [...]
Packers vs. Bills Game Notes
Aug 23rd
The Green Bay Packers beat the Buffalo Bills 31-21 in a preseason tilt Saturday night, as the team improved to 2-0 in meaningless games. While I will again stress that no one wins anything in the preseason, Packers’ fans have some reason for excitement entering the 2009 season (which we wish would get here already). [...]
The Difference Between the Packers and the Vikings
Aug 20th
The difference between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings? History? Tradition? Super Bowl titles? Championships? Class? Yes. All of those things. The Packers have them. The Vikings don’t, and they never will. However, I think the biggest difference between the Packers and Vikings are their fans. I grabbed this screen shot from the [...]
Illustrating The Vikings Chances: Brett Favre Statistical Breakdown
Aug 19th
A lot has been said about what Brett Favre will mean to the Minnesota Vikings. Certainly, I think it’s fair to say the Vikings are now the favorite to win the division. Some pundits have tapped them as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. But hold the phone. The Vikings were going to be [...]
Packers vs. Browns Game Notes
Aug 16th
The Green Bay Packers beat the Cleveland Browns 17-0 Saturday night in the Upper Midwest Shrine Game. While beating the Browns, a team that may be in the running for the NFL’s worst this season, in an exhibition game isn’t anything to get terribly excited about, there were some interesting developments to come out of [...]
