Apparently, It Was Time To Panic In Atlanta
Apr 29th
Yeah, the Atlanta Falcons and their nondescript, no-personality, never-won-a-playoff-game quarterback are a decent team. They still looked like a naked, drunken whore when the Green Bay Packers showed up and bent them over the kitchen table in the playoffs, though. After the Packers were done pounding away, the Falcons were sent home with a sore ass and the numbers 48-21 tattooed on their brains. So what do the Falcons do when the NFL Draft rolls around?
Want To Curse Aaron Rodgers? Go Right Ahead!
Mar 21st
There are a lot of curses in sports, several of them relate to covers. There’s the curse of the Sports Illustrated cover and the curse of the Madden cover. Actually, I think if you’re on the cover of anything other than GQ or Esquire, you’re probably going to be cursed in some way. That’s because [...]
Where Is Matt Flynn Most Valuable To The Packers?
Feb 15th
Backup quarterback Matt Flynn made his first start for the Green Bay Packers in week 15′s 31-27 loss to the New England Patriots.
Despite the loss, Flynn looked impressive, throwing for 251 yards and three touchdowns while completing 65 percent of his passes.
TiVo Time: Atlanta Falcons
Jan 19th
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 48-21 divisional victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a comprehensive analysis of the Packers’ dismantling of the Atlanta Falcons. 14:52, 1st quarter — After the Packers deferred, the Falcons get the first [...]
Mass Bird Death In Atlanta
Jan 15th
Okay, let’s move past the obvious har-har headline and just get to the point. This is Aaron Rodgers. Suck on my fucking nuts, Colin Cowherd! Hahahahahaha! The Green Bay Packers rolled into Atlanta with all the expectations and in a game you’d think they’d lay an egg because they believed their own hype, they flat-out [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Falcons
Jan 14th
Shawn: The Green Bay Packers couldn’t have asked for anything better than a second shot at the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. It’s been around 15 degrees in Green Bay, so I’d be pumped about getting out of here and playing in a dome if I were a member of the Packers. This year’s [...]
Aaron Rodgers vs. Matt Ryan
Jan 14th
The Green Bay Packers play the Atlanta Falcons this week and everyone wants to compare Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. There’s good reason for such nonsense — they’re both young, they’ve both been called the next so-and-so, they’ve both enjoyed success early in their career, etc. In fact, if you take [...]
Suck On That, Colin Cowherd!
Jan 13th
I’ve never had an issue with ESPN Radio and television personality Colin Cowherd until recently, but that’s mostly because I stopped listening to anything he had to say several years ago. Back then, I often listened to his morning radio show and I sometimes found him insightful and always felt he called it as he [...]
Packers Have Looked Into Atlanta Replay Situation
Jan 11th
If you remember the first time the Green Bay Packers played the Atlanta Falcons this season, you’ll remember coach Mike McCarthy not challenging a fourth-and-3 catch by Falcons tight end Tony Gonzales. The replay showed Gonzales didn’t make the catch, but the televisions in the Georgia Dome were delayed at least 15 seconds and the [...]
Who Is The Defensive Player Of The Year?
Jan 6th
There was a point in the season when everyone thought the answer to the question was a foregone conclusion. Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Then, a series of injuries and near constant double and triple teams started to slow Matthews. That isn’t to say his presence wasn’t felt. Matthews opens things up for his [...]
Check Out These Tools From Atlanta
Dec 30th
I can’t say I’m terribly offended by this. I’ve always hated the fact that when I tell someone I’m from Wisconsin, they usually say something like, “Oh, you’re a cheesehead.” No. No I’m not a cheesehead. I never have and I never will wear a foam wedge of cheese on my skull. I’m simply from [...]
TiVo Time: Atlanta Falcons
Dec 3rd
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 20-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. A few key plays make the difference in a tightly contested game against Atlanta. Here’s a closer look. 10:00, 1st quarter — Atlanta’s first drive ends [...]
No Challenge Because The Georgia Dome Sucks
Nov 29th
We were ready to chalk this one of up to another case of Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy being a moron. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In the second quarter, the Falcons converted a fourth-and-3 when Matt Ryan passed to tight end Tony Gonzales for six yards. The replay showed that [...]
Green Bay Packers: Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda
Nov 28th
The Green Bay Packers lost by three points for the fourth time this season, which actually is the sum total of all of their losses. There’s really no reason to overreact at this point. The Packers lost to a good team on their home field — a home field where the Atlanta Falcons are 18-1 [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Falcons
Nov 27th
Shawn: I’ve said all year the Green Bay Packers would win this week’s game, and if anything, I believe even more strongly in that prediction now. The Atlanta Falcons are 8-2, sure. Everyone seems to have forgotten that they beat the Saints after Garrett Hartley missed two easy field goals that would have won the [...]
PETA: Lambeau Field Is Third Most Vegetarian-Friendly
Nov 9th
PETA has released their annual list of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL and Lambeau Field is ranked third. Lambeau ranked third last season, as well, which we’ve always found strange, considering it’s located dead center in the land of bratwurst, deer hunting, beer swilling and heart attacks. However, Lambeau offers a variety of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Top 15 Celebrity Green Bay Packers Fans
Jul 28th
I noticed earlier this week that Samuel L. Jackson made some sort of rally video for the Atlanta Falcons. I didn’t bother to watch it because, frankly, the Atlanta Falcons suck and so does Samuel L. Jackson. That’s right. I said it. He’s played himself in every damn movie he’s ever been in and the [...]
Justin Harrell Will Never Be The Biggest Bust In The 2007 Draft
Jul 21st
No, that honor will go to No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who was dumped by the Oakland Raiders after three seasons and will go down as one of the all-time great busts. Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Just Harrell is in the next group, though. Harrell is one of nine of the 32 players [...]
