They Love Brett Favre In Cambodia
Jan 17th
In honor of our favorite traitor quarterback and the dregs of the NFL – the Minnesota Vikings, who we wish all the bad fortune in the world – we thought today would be an appropriate time to whip out our latest video. Recently, a friend of the Total Packers family took a trip to Cambodia. [...]
A Quick Look at the Packers Draft Prospects
Jan 16th
Sure, the NFL Draft isn’t until April 22, but it’s never to early to begin speculating about it, especially since we now know the Green Bay Packers will pick 23rd in the first round. ESPN released their Draft Watch for pick 23 earlier this week. It contains two lists – the first from Scouts Inc. [...]
Packers May Be in Market For a Big-Time Pass Rusher
Jan 15th
The Green Bay Packers defensive deficiencies were exposed against the Arizona Cardinals – lack of secondary depth and linebackers who can’t cover. While the Packers need to address these things in offseason, the real difference maker could be a big-time pass rusher. Let’s look at the obvious deficiencies first. The cornerback position is well stocked [...]
Packers’ Dom Capers Asleep At the Wheel
Jan 15th
This footage could partially explain why the Green Bay Packers vaunted defense played so poorly against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday (although we think there are two other clear-cut reasons). In it, you’ll see Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who appears to dose off and then suddenly jerk back to life like someone who’s trying [...]
No One Wants to Coach in Chicago
Jan 14th
Well, maybe not no one – Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith probably still wants to coach there, but he hasn’t exactly been given a recipe that’s likely to result in success. After firing half of his staff, simply because the Bears’ organization was too cheap to do what they really wanted to do and fire [...]
Woodson Packers’ Lone All Pro
Jan 14th
In news that should really surprise no one, cornerback Charles Woodson is the Green Bay Packers lone member of the NFL All-Pro team. The All-Pro team is voted on my members of the Associated Press and made up of the top players from both conferences, unlike the Pro Bowl, which separates the squads into AFC [...]
Woodson Picks Up Another Award And Rex Ryan Is a Douchebag
Jan 14th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday by a wide margin. On Wednesday, he picked up the Sporting News’ NFL defensive player of the year award, which is voted on by 636 players, coaches and executives. Woodson again finished first by a wide margin, receiving 241 [...]
Packers Saved the Sports Book
Jan 13th
It appears the Green Bay Packers dramatically helped out two entities last weekend – the Arizona Cardinals, whom they lost a crushing 51-45 overtime contest to, and the Las Vegas sports books. Not surprisingly, bettors were going big on the Packers, who had beaten the Cardinals 33-7 to end the regular season. The Cardinals opened [...]
Kampman Likely Done in Green Bay
Jan 13th
When the Green Bay Packers cleaned out their lockers this week, several members of the team may have done so for the last time. Long-time starters Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher, Ryan Pickett and Aaron Kampman are all unrestricted free agents. The Packers will likely make moves to replace Clifton and Tauscher, and would be wise [...]
Woodson Wins Defensive Player of the Year By a Landslide
Jan 12th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson put the question to rest today. He’s the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and he won by a wide margin over New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Woodson received 28 votes to Revis’ 14. The Denver Broncos’ Elvis Dumervil and the New Orleans Saints’ Darren Sharper tied for [...]
Aaron Rodgers – Elite Quarterback
Jan 12th
If anything positive can be taken out of the Green Bay Packers debacle in the desert – a 51-45 loss to the Arizona Cardinals – it’s the certifiable arrival of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Those of us who have watched Rodgers all season know he is a solid performer, but his 422-yard, four touchdown performance on [...]
Packers Have Some Work To Do In the Middle
Jan 11th
The Green Bay Packers defense was exposed by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The NFL’s second-ranked unit fell apart against the vaunted Cardinals passing attack, much the same way they did three weeks earlier against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s now pretty clear why these things have happened. The middle of the Packers defense if vulnerable [...]
The Season-Ending Facemask
Jan 11th
The Green Bay Packers 51-45 loss to the Arizona Cardinals has taken a bit to digest, but we know three things for sure. First, it was a great game. I don’t think anyone can argue with that. Second, the Packers shit the bed. The league’s second-ranked defense gave up 531 yards of offense to the [...]
Cardinals End Packers’ Season In Stunning Shootout
Jan 10th
It was a playoff game for the ages, although Packer fans may not look back on it too fondly. Kurt Warner and Aaron Rodgers put on a passing extravaganza, tossing for a combined 801 yards and nine touchdowns in the NFC wild card game Sunday night. But it was Arizona’s defense that came up with [...]
Boldin Still Questionable; Likely A Game-time Decision
Jan 9th
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin is still questionable for Sunday’s wild-game game against the Green Bay Packers with a high ankle sprain and will likely be a game-time decision. Boldin, who is also treating a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, has been getting treatment virtually around the clock. He’s caught 84 [...]
Everything In Childress’ World Makes Sense Now
Jan 9th
Well, if you read this blog very often, you know we think Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is a pedophile (or at least looks like one). So then it makes sense that his son, Kyle, is also a delinquent. Kyle Childress was charged with second-degree DWI in St. Paul, early Saturday morning, the second time [...]
Ditka!
Jan 8th
Can’t say I was really a fan of Mike Ditka when he was coach of the Chicago Bears. After all, this was the guy who tried to run up the score and used William “The Refrigerator” Perry against our beloved Green Bay Packers. But Ditka was nothing if not entertaining, whether berating Jim Harbaugh for [...]
What Can We Expect From Aaron Rodgers?
Jan 8th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will make his first playoff start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. That got me thinking about what we might expect from Rodgers. Sure, it’s reasonable to think Rodgers will go out, be his unflappable self and throw for 250 yards and two touchdowns. However, the real question is [...]
Woodson Wins Defensive Player of the Month Again. Does This Clinch It?
Jan 8th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Month for December, the third time he’s won the honor this season. Woodson also won the award in September and November. New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper won the award in October. This is the first time anyone has ever won [...]
Packers Defensive Line Will Win Super Bowl
Jan 7th
The statement alone is preposterous – the Green Bay Packers defensive line will lead the team to a Super Bowl title – but the statistics back it up. We’re talking about the Defensive Hog Index, developed by Cold Hard Football Facts. The Green Bay Packers rank first this season and that’s significant because, since it’s [...]
