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 [...]
The Detroit Lions Get Some Good News
Sep 16th
Wait. Scratch that. After getting robbed by the officials of a victory over the Chicago Bears last week, Detroit Lions fans are actually the ones getting the good news. For the first time in the history of the team, the Lions will have cheerleaders… sort of. According to It’s Always Sunny In Detroit, there will [...]
Let The Marshawn Lynch Speculation Begin… And End
Sep 16th
When the Green Bay Packers lost running back Ryan Grant to an ankle injury, there were more than a few questions and suggestions focused on who the team could trade for. Thus far, the Packers have remained true to form by sticking with backup Brandon Jackson and grabbing some nobody off the Atlanta Falcons practice [...]
A.J. Hawk Wants Out
Sep 15th
The Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk, the former No. 5 overall draft pick, didn’t play one snap in the team’s season-opening victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Today, Hawk’s agent, Mike McCartney, said Hawk wants out of Green Bay… without actually saying Hawk wants out of Green Bay. “A.J. is a pro’s pro and wants [...]
Crosby Named Special Teams Player Of The Week
Sep 15th
Last year, everyone (me included) wanted to tar and feather Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby. What a difference a year makes. It’s early in the season, but Crosby has been nothing short of… dare I say it… outstanding through the preseason and week one. Today, Crosby was recognized for his performance in week one [...]
Grant’s Injury Isn’t The End Of The Line
Sep 15th
The Green Bay Packers aren’t as strong as they were now that running back Ryan Grant has been put on injured reserve, but it isn’t time to throw in the towel just yet. Grant may not have run for 1,200 yards in each of the past two season by accident, but the Packers have always [...]
Ryan Grant Out For The Year
Sep 14th
Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant is out for the season and will go on injured reserve after tearing two ligaments in his ankle during the Packers victory over the Philadelphia Eagles — a story first reported by Jay Glazer. The injury will require surgery and Grant is expected to be on crutches for [...]
A.J. Hawk Is The Forgotten Man
Sep 14th
After Sunday’s Green Bay Packers victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, I incorrectly assumed Packers inside linebacker A.J. Hawk started the game before giving way to Brandon Chillar. Afterwards, assuming he had been on the field and I had missed him, I questioned where Hawk was. He didn’t record a single stat and it turns out, [...]
Ryan Grant Could Be Out Several Weeks
Sep 13th
We don’t have a definitive answer yet, but Green Bay Packers starting running back Ryan Grant looks like he’ll be out several weeks with an ankle injury coach Mike McCarthy called significant. Grant, who termed his status as week-to-week, has already been ruled out of the Packers next game against Buffalo. Brandon Jackson will start [...]
Surprise! Justin Harrell Gone For The Season
Sep 13th
We all knew it was only a matter of time until Green Bay Packers defensive end Justin Harrell suffered his annual season-ending injury. Somehow, Harrell managed to stay on the field throughout the preseason this year, but Sunday, Harrell had to be helped off with a knee injury. Today came confirmation that Harrell tore his [...]
Packers Not Exactly Dominant In Season-Opening Win
Sep 12th
Maybe it’s time to table the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl talk for a bit. The defense, led by linebacker Clay Matthews, was the biggest reason the Packers were able to escape Philadelphia with a 27-20 win over the Eagles. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense wasn’t close to firing on all cylinders, but [...]
Packers Offense Could Join A Select Few
Sep 12th
The Green Bay Packers offense looks like a juggernaut going into the 2010 season. The possibilities of this season got me thinking about some of the greatest individual seasons by teammates in NFL history. The Packers had two 1,000-yard receivers, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 4,000-yard passer in 2009. Those numbers came courtesy of Greg [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Eagles
Sep 11th
Sarah: The 2010 Philadelphia Eagles are one of Andy Reid’s most unpredictable teams. Kevin Kolb is replacing Donovan McNabb at quarterback, LeSean McCoy is stepping in for Brian Westbrook at running back and Brandon Graham is filling in the gap left by Juqua Parker at defensive end. The list could go on. In short, there’s [...]
Anna’s Wish To Meet Packers Featured On Sunday NFL Countdown
Sep 11th
You know I hate posting press releases on here, but sometimes something comes along that even my cold, cold heart cannot ignore. This is one of those times and it demonstrates once again why the Green Bay Packers are the best organization in organizational history. On ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown (11 a.m.-1 p.m. ET), Anna’s [...]
