Packers’ Schedule No One Cares About Released
Apr 12th
Well, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We’re assuming there will be a preseason, which is no certainty considering the current lack of a labor deal. If there are four meaningless games in 2011, here’s what you get to look forward to as a Green Bay Packers fan. Some of the exact dates are TBD. @ [...]
Observations From Packers 17-13 Loss To Chiefs
Sep 2nd
The Green Bay Packers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-13, Thursday night in their preseason finale. The game wasn’t easy to watch. The starters played only one series and veterans Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Chad Clifton and Charles Woodson were healthy scratches. There were some interesting developments in the game, however, and [...]
Observations From Packers 59-24 Victory Over Colts
Aug 26th
The Green Bay Packers offense is potent, we knew that, but in their longest outing of the preseason against last year’s AFC champs, they put any doubts to rest. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who I have a hard time believing isn’t on his way to becoming the best player in the NFL, cut up the Colts [...]
Packers Have A Little Work To Do On Defense
Aug 16th
We don’t put a lot of stock in preseason football, but it’s clear after the Green Bay Packers 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night the Packers defense needs to address some issues. By the time the starters departed in the second quarter, the Browns had a 21-14 lead. The game seems eerily [...]
Green Bay Packers: Starting to Look Like the Real Deal
Aug 29th
The Green Bay Packers hung on for a 44-37 preseason win over the defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals last night in Phoenix, but that really doesn’t begin to tell the story. A friend turned to me this morning and asked, “Do you ever remember a preseason when the Packers looked this good?” The answer is [...]
Packers vs. Bills Game Notes
Aug 23rd
The Green Bay Packers beat the Buffalo Bills 31-21 in a preseason tilt Saturday night, as the team improved to 2-0 in meaningless games. While I will again stress that no one wins anything in the preseason, Packers’ fans have some reason for excitement entering the 2009 season (which we wish would get here already). [...]
Packers vs. Browns Game Notes
Aug 16th
The Green Bay Packers beat the Cleveland Browns 17-0 Saturday night in the Upper Midwest Shrine Game. While beating the Browns, a team that may be in the running for the NFL’s worst this season, in an exhibition game isn’t anything to get terribly excited about, there were some interesting developments to come out of [...]
Ted Thompson: Master of Disaster!
Sep 2nd
From out of left field, the Green Bay Packers punter of last season and the only one in camp for most of this year, Jon Ryan, was cut yesterday to make room for former Washington Redskins’ punter Derrick Frost. Also cut was linebacker Abdul Hodge, who had a pretty nice training camp and showed real potential [...]
Packers Final Preseason Game of 2008!
Aug 28th
The Green Bay Packers final preseason game is only exciting because it means that opening day is just around the corner. With most of the roster spots set, there is very little drama tonight in terms of position battles. There are a couple things to keep an eye on, though. First, how will Monty’s favorite [...]
Wynn Returns to Practice And Gets Cut, Harrell Injured Again
Aug 25th
And so the DeShawn Wynn era in Green Bay has come to an end. No sooner did the running back, who started four of the Packers’ first seven games before going on injured reserve last year, return to practice (yesterday) from his latest injury than he got the ax (today). Also axed was receiver Chris “My Idol [...]

I have finally managed to download the photos from the San Francisco debacle and post them. Click the photo for the flickr stream.
Jarrett Bush – You’re Cut!
Aug 18th
From the “I Got 99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One” file came this past Saturday night’s preseason loss (34-6) to the disgustingly bad (5-11, last year) San Francisco 49ers. First, having witnessed this debacle first hand, I have to say, Jarrett Bush – you’re cut! It seemed each time I looked up from my [...]
Preseason Game 1: Bengals 20, Packers 17
Aug 12th
The Green Bay Packers first preseason game is in the books, and although we could care less about preseason scores – especially that of the first game – the Packers lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-17, before what seemed to be a full stadium of drunken Wisconsinites. Beyond the obvious questions, I wonder how many [...]
