Predictions: Packers vs. Giants
Dec 25th
Steffen: Many are expecting the New York Giants to fall apart this week after a humiliating defeat at the hands of Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles in week 15. I don’t see it playing out that way. The Giants are a veteran team and they have a lot to play for. This is essentially [...]
Let’s Play Linebacker Roulette!
Dec 25th
Like betting on black 22, the Green Bay Packers don’t have any real idea what’s going to happen with their outside linebackers when they face the New York Giants, on Sunday. Starter Frank Zombo has essentially been ruled out with a sprained knee. Zombo tried to practice on Friday and the results weren’t promising. Officially, [...]
Brett Favre Likes Masturbation Videos
Dec 24th
That’s right people. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre likes masturbation videos. That is, if you believe Jenn Sterger. Someone “close to the NFL investigation” says Sterger claims Favre asked her to send him a video of her masturbating. Really, who can blame the guy? Well, he’s married, so a lot of people. But the point [...]
The Packers Are Bad In Close Games; Here’s Why
Dec 24th
All six of the Green Bay Packers losses have come by four points or less, this season. To be exact, four losses have come by three points and two have come by four. Meanwhile, the Packers average margin of victory is a shade less than 17 points per game. That last statistic is slightly misleading [...]
Clay Matthews Is Back
Dec 23rd
Although he hasn’t missed a game because of it, Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews hasn’t been through a full practice since October because of a shin injury. That changed Wednesday, when Matthews participated in 11-on-11 drills in full pads for the first time since before the Jets game. Since the Jets game, which is [...]
Adrian Peterson Is M.I.A.
Dec 23rd
Okay, so I couldn’t possibly stand writing another Brett Favre headline, so that’s why you’re getting this one on Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. This made me laugh heartily, so I think I’ll just let it speak for itself. How do you think that played out? I bet when they consulted Favre on making [...]
TiVo Time: New England Patriots
Dec 23rd
It’s like t-shirt time, only better, because no one from Jersey is involved. Shawn Neuser takes a look at the Green Bay Packers 31-27 loss to the New England Patriots. After losing four games this season by three points, the Green Bay Packers have now lost two in a row by four points. It seems [...]
Favre Still Has It Out For The Packers
Dec 22nd
Remember when beating the Green Bay Packers wasn’t about revenge for Brett Favre? We totally believed him. Anyway, we thought he got the revenge he didn’t want last season when his Minnesota Vikings beat the Packers twice. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. Maybe his butt hurts because the Packers destroyed his poor-ass excuse for a team [...]
Someone Needs To Put Brett Favre And The Vikings Down
Dec 22nd
Can someone send an S.O.S. to Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier and his staff? A telegraph of sorts on behalf of the grizzled grandpa himself, Brett Favre? Something like this: Leslie, Your old-ass quarterback has done broked himself again. Really bad, this time. He can’t think straight, and that robotic arm you implanted in him [...]
Here’s The Packers’ Full Playoff Picture
Dec 22nd
If the Green Bay Packers win their final two games, they’re in the playoffs as a wild card, this we know. However, there’s another, much-more-convoluted scenario where the Packers could still make it. First, the Packers need to beat the New York Giants, this week. If they lose to the Giants, it doesn’t matter what [...]
Rodgers Will Return This Week
Dec 21st
The Green Bay Packers will have their catalyst when they face the New York Giants in their biggest game of the season, this week. Aaron Rodgers is set to return from a concussion-induced one-game absence, according to Jason Wilde. Yes, after seeing his 46-game consecutive starts streak (including playoffs) snapped when he was inactive for [...]
Win Packers Gloves And Ear Warmers From 180s
Dec 21st
Okay, so we just got a box full of Green Bay Packers gear from 180s and guess what? We’re going to give it all away to thank you for reading. First, this is the swag you can win. Green Bay Packers ear warmers: These are the kind of ear warmers that wrap around the back [...]
Giants Rolle Offers A Guarantee, But There’s Trouble In New York
Dec 21st
The Green Bay Packers will face either a fired up New York Giants team this weekend or a New York Giants team in disarray. Hell, maybe both. The Giants took an epic loss on Sunday, blowing a 21-point fourth quarter lead to the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. Put the Packers in place of the Giants [...]
Apparently James Starks Is Not The Answer
Dec 21st
Running back James Starks burst onto the scene three weeks ago when the Green Bay Packers hosted the San Francisco 49ers, running for 73 yards on 18 carries and seemingly reviving the team’s stagnant running game. Afterward, coach Mike McCarthy praised Starks’ ability to gain extra yards after contact. On Sunday, Starks wasn’t even active [...]
The Chicago Bears Are NFC North Champions
Dec 20th
At least it isn’t the Minnesota Vikings. The Chicago Bears nailed down the NFC North title Monday night by destroying the aforementioned poor excuse for an NFL franchise, 40-14. The Bears are 10-4 and can finish no worse than 10-6. If the Green Bay Packers finish with the same record by winning their last two [...]
What’s With Mike McCarthy And Clock Management?
Dec 20th
Although Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy gave his usual there’s-nothing-to-see-here, I’m-right-and-you’re-wrong explanation, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be questioned for the way he handled the end of the Packers loss to the New England Patriots. As you probably know, with more than 20 seconds left and no time outs, the Packers faced a fourth-and-1, [...]
Thank You, Matt Flynn
Dec 20th
Matt Flynn is my new favorite Packer. The third-year quarterback more than held his own in his first start on the road against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots Sunday night. He dominated the first half, not making a mistake until a pick-six early in the second half that was wideout James Jones’ fault, [...]
Win And We’re In
Dec 20th
It’s just that simple for the Green Bay Packers. Despite the loss to the New England Patriots dropping them to 8-6, the Packers simply need to win their last two games to make the playoffs as a wild card. The Chicago Bears will clinch the NFC North with a win tonight against the Joe Webb-led [...]
Packers Hang Tough, But Fail When It Matters Most
Dec 19th
The Green Bay Packers played the best team in the NFL and played better football than them for three quarters with a backup quarterback. Unfortunately, professional football is a four-quarter game. The Packers faltered down the stretch and allowed the New England Patriots to pull out a 31-27 victory on their home field. With the [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Patriots
Dec 18th
Steffen: The New England Patriots ought to temporarily change their name to the New England Buzzsaw, because that moniker has been lobbed their way a lot the last few weeks. They dropped 45 in consecutive weeks against the Lions and Jets before clownining the Bears 36-7, last Sunday. They are without a doubt the hottest [...]
