Green Bay Packers
Brett Favre – The Aftermath
Jul 29th
Now we survey the wreckage. Brett Favre’s decision to remain retired instead of joining the Minnesota Vikings, has some serious ramifications. The Vikings organization… hahahahahahahhahahaha!… sorry, lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, the Vikings. Let’s start at the top, with the chief bonehead. Vikings coach Brad Childress released a statement yesterday, saying the Favre [...]
Nick Collins’ Disappearing Act and Upcoming Distractions
Jun 22nd
As the Green Bay Packers open their first mandatory minicamp of the offseason today, the biggest question is whether safety Nick Collins will practice. Collins, the Packers starting strong safety last season, made a brief appearance in Green Bay last week – only the second day he showed up at any of the Packers OTAs. [...]
The Curious Case of Jarrett Bush
Mar 10th
Update: On Friday, Bush signed an offer sheet with the Tennessee Titans. The Packers have until next Friday to match the offer, if they so choose. Anyone who has followed this blog since the beginning is well aware of my out-and-out disdain for Green Bay Packers cornerback, Jarrett Bush. Bush is, in a word – [...]
Free Agency 2009: Our Guys
Feb 16th
The 2009 free agency signing period begins on February 27 and the Green Bay Packers are in very good shape, at approximately $25 million below the projected $123 million salary cap. Before we reveal our list of free agency demands for 2009, let’s take a look at the Packers own free agents. The most substantial [...]
Stock “Retires,” Sanders Next?
Jan 3rd
Late Friday evening, Green Bay Packers’ special teams coach Mike Stock retired. Or, “retired.” This doesn’t come as a surprise. The Packers special teams were putrid this past season in nearly every aspect. Fans had been calling for Stock’s job, along with that of defensive coordinator Bob Sanders, for some time. What does come as [...]
Green Bay Packers: Infamy Avoided
Dec 29th
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers completed a miserable 6-10 season with a 31-21 victory over the Detroit Lions, and in the process managed to avoid infamy by not becoming the only team to lose to the Lions this year. The Lions are the first team in league history to go 0-16. At times it was [...]
Tis the Season of Giving
Dec 23rd
And that’s just what the Green Bay Packers did last night – gave those scumbags from Chicago a 20-17 overtime victory. This one turned to shit in the third quarter, when the cursed Jarrett Bush let a Chicago punt bounce off his backside. After that, the Bears gained momentum that never came back to the [...]
Bears Fan Checklist
Dec 22nd
Tonight, on Monday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers will try to (somewhat) salvage their season by throwing a giant wrench in the hated Chicago Bears playoff hopes. While I will certainly be belligerently drunk by halftime, I thought I’d start the day out with a little tribute to Chicago Bears’ fans, who rank behind [...]
Cowboys Don’t Implode, Packers Do
Dec 15th
Numb. That about sums up how I feel about the Green Bay Packers after their 20-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. Pretty much every aspect of the game was ugly. The overwhelming feeling that the Packers have been in this situation before, that they wouldn’t come through on a particular play, and that this [...]
One Less Thing For Packers To Contend With
Dec 13th
Going into this weekend’s game with the equally bad and underachieving Jacksonville Jaguars, the Green Bay Packers will have one less thing to worry about, as Jacksonville running back Fred Taylor was put on IR Thursday. This effectively shoots Steffen’s prediction that Taylor would run for a 100 yards against the Packers… right… in… the… [...]
The White Elephant in the Room
Dec 10th
Most everyone is quick to point the finger at defensive coordinator Bob Sanders as the scapegoat in this dismal Green Bay Packers’ season. And the proverbial finger has good reason to be pointed in Sanders direction, especially after a disgusting 24-21 home loss to the Houston Texans, in which the defense was carved up for [...]
Pffffffttt… Packers Playoff Hopes Go Up In Smoke
Dec 8th
With a nod towards the puff of smoke the Green Bay Packers slim playoff chances went up in yesterday, I thought perhaps a little musical number might be in order to summarize where the Packers are at this point in the season. So, without further pomp and circumstance, I will say that this has always [...]
The Packers Are Dead, Long Live The Packers
Dec 1st
With yet another heartbreaking 4 points-or-less loss, the Green Bay Packers have all but assured that the playoffs will be out of their reach, with their 35-31 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. The Packers don’t deserve it this year, not this coaching staff, not this underachieving group of players. But it’s hard [...]
Packers vs. Saints Recap
Nov 25th
.jpg "Aaron Rodgers")
In the first half of the Green Bay Packers excruciating 51-29 loss to the New Orleans Saints, there were a few questionable calls and non-calls that went New Orleans’ way. Something stunk about a lot of those (the Drew Brees intentional grounding non-call, for example) and had the game stayed close, I would have made [...]
Packers ‘Bearly’ Sneak by Chicago 37-3
Nov 17th
Coming off two heartbreakingly close losses in a row, the Green Bay Packers desperately needed a win on Sunday to keep their division championship hopes alive. The Chicago Bears gave the Packers everything they had for the first two minutes or so, but in the end, Green Bay emerged from the hard fought game as [...]
Who Still Sucks?
Nov 17th
The Chicago Bears. That’s who. How’s this for some Monday morning, in-depth analysis?
Vikings vs. Packers: Who Sucked And Who Didn’t
Nov 10th
Every week the Green Bay Packers are starting to look more and more like a team that simply won’t live up to expectations. Yesterday, the Packers lost yet another close game to an inferior opponent, this time, 28-27 to the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers should be better than this. Maybe it’s time to accept that [...]
Packers vs. Titans Game Notes
Nov 4th
This was one of the Green Bay Packers’ more disappointing losses of the year, in part because the Packers actually played well for most of the game. The lines held their own on both sides of the ball against the normally dominant Tennessee Titans’ lines. In the end, the Packers were overwhelmed when it counted most. When [...]
Long Lost Game Photos: Atlanta Falcons
Oct 31st
It is true that it has taken some time for me to upload these, which is partly because I am just slow and sloth-like, and partly because the Green Bay Packers lost this game to the Atlanta Falcons(!?). Yeah, I was a little dumbfounded too. Anyway, it was still a cool experience, because it was [...]
Fox Sports vs. ESPN Or The Non-Story That Was A Story
Oct 24th
As we all know by now, ESPN felt Favregate was a non-story. They even went so far as to circulate an internal memo telling staffers as much, and ordering them not to report on it, as Steffen detailed here. Then, when Brett Favre Almighty held his press conference on Wednesday to somewhat (lamely) deny he [...]
