Linebacker Nick Barnett and tight end Jermichael Finley are pissed. They’re not pissed because they won’t get to play in the Super Bowl.

Finleys leaving his mark on the Packers offense, but is it too much?

Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions

Chad Ochocinco Lambeau Leap

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 [...]
