Jay Cutler Or Aaron Rodgers?
Sep 27th
We wouldn’t expect an unbiased answer from anyone here if they were asked to pick between Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. It’s a different case when you ask several NFL analysts, which the Chicago Sun Times Sean Jensen did. Out of 10 analysts polled, eight chose Rodgers. Two [...]
Predictons: Packers vs. Bears
Sep 27th
Steffen: It’s hard for me to say this, but I think Packer nation just has to accept it — the Chicago Bears are better than they were last year. They are a different, more confident team. They are playing faster on a defense that features a refurbished Brian Urlacher and the freakish abilities of Julius [...]
Clifton, Colledge Likely To Start
Sep 27th
It looks like the Green Bay Packers will open their game with the Chicago Bears tonight with the same starting offensive line they opened the season with. Both Chad Clifton and Daryn Colledge practiced with the No. 1 unit on Saturday and will start barring a last-minute setback. Clifton has been battling a knee injury [...]
Colledge Sprains Knee
Sep 25th
Green Bay Packers left guard Daryn Colledge was added to the team’s injury report on Friday with a sprained knee. Rookie Bryan Bulaga practiced with the first team in Colledge’s spot. Left tackle Chad Clifton, meanwhile, returned to practice and was a full participant. It seemed like Clifton’s balky knee would keep him out of [...]
Remember When The Packers/Bears Rivalry Was Cool?
Sep 24th
This is a different NFL than the NFL of the 1960s or even the 1980s, for that matter. In those days, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears generally disliked each other. Today, members of the two teams in the NFL’s most storied rivalry like to slobber all over each other. Case in point: the [...]
Ah, The Chicago Bears
Sep 24th
What a bunch of cunts. Despite their 2-0 start, the Bears… wait for it…
Greene: Matthews Could Be The Best Ever
Sep 23rd
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews has been receiving high praise this season after racking up six sacks in the team’s first two games, but none more so than the praise coming from linebackers coach Kevin Greene. Greene, an outside linebacker in his playing days, says Matthews has the tools to be the best [...]
Bulaga Taking Over For Clifton Now Seems Inevitable
Sep 23rd
Even though Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy insisted veteran Chad Clifton is his starting left tackle earlier in the week, it now seems inevitable rookie Bryan Bulaga will take over for Clifton full time, this season. That will probably happen Monday night when the Packers take on the Chicago Bears. Clifton was removed from [...]
Mouth Breathers Unite! But Don’t Pass Out
Sep 22nd
It’s Chicago Bears week and before I get to trashing the Bears I will say this: the Bears look pretty good this year, particularly on offense. The Green Bay Packers will be tested on Monday night in Chicago. Now that that’s out of the way, let me get to the point. The Chicago Bears and [...]
Lynch Talk Isn’t Dead Yet
Sep 22nd
The talk of the Green Bay Packers trading for Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch isn’t quite dead yet, despite reports last week the Bills would not move him. Late Monday, The Buffalo News reported talks for Lynch were intensifying. Lynch was the featured back in the Bills 34-7 loss to the Packers last Sunday, [...]
Clay Matthews: Defensive Player Of The Week
Sep 21st
For the second week in a row, a member of the Green Bay Packers has nabbed an NFC player of the week honor. This time, linebacker Clay Matthews won the defensive award. Kicker Mason Crosby won the special teams award following week one. Matthews had three sacks and five tackles against the Buffalo Bills in [...]
Whitt Makes It Clear: Shields Is Nickel Back
Sep 21st
There was some speculation about what would happen to Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields when Brandon Underwood returns from a shoulder injury. Underwood was the nickel back before he got injured in the third preseason game. Shields has filled that role since. On Monday, cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt made the situation clear. “If Brandon [...]
Who’s Happier Brett Favre Came Back This Year, Me Or Brett Favre?
Sep 21st
I’ll tell you who’s happier Brett Favre came back this season. Me. The most despicable franchise in the history of anything, the Minnesota Vikings, are 0-2, two games behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North and seemingly ready to implode. I know Favre certainly isn’t happy about that and neither is the rest [...]
Bulaga Outplays Clifton, But McCarthy Stands By The Veteran
Sep 20th
Rookie Bryan Bulaga replaced an ineffective Chad Clifton at left tackle for the Green Bay Packers midway through the second quarter of the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. After the game Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the move was made because Clifton was suffering from a knee injury, but also noted Clifton [...]
Packers Do What They’re Supposed To With The Bills
Sep 19th
I’d like to say we learned a lot about the Green Bay Packers after they defeated the Buffalo Bills 34-7 on Sunday, but I can’t. The Packers let the Bills hang around in the first half, but ultimately did exactly what they were supposed to do — dominate one of the worst teams in the [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Bills
Sep 18th
Steffen: The Vegas oddsmakers have the Green Bay Packers favored by how much again? 13.5 points? There are plenty of folks out there who’d tell you that isn’t nearly enough. Don’t count me among them. Like last week, this game will be much closer than it needs to be. Obviously, the biggest question mark for [...]
In Case You Missed It: Aaron Kampman Still Has A Little Left
Sep 18th
We had pretty strong suspicions before, but it’s now clear Aaron Kampman was badly miscast as an outside linebacker with the Green Bay Packers. Kampman never took to the move from defensive end and had only 3.5 sacks before going down with a torn ACL in game nine, last season. Kampman signed with the Jacksonville [...]
Underwood, Neal Remain Questionable, Colledge Joins Them
Sep 17th
It looks increasingly likely the Green Bay Packers will be without key contributors at two of their thinnest positions this weekend, as cornerback Brandon Underwood and defensive end Mike Neal are listed as questionable on the injury report. Underwood, who will be the Packers nickel or dime back when he returns, has been out with [...]
Keys To Beating The Bills
Sep 17th
The real key for the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday is simple: show up. Yes, the Bills are that bad. In fact, they may be the worst team the Packers face all season. The biggest key for the Packers is stopping the Bills return game, which features rookie C.J. Spiller [...]
