Nick Barnett: Buffalo Better Atmosphere Than Green Bay
Sep 30th
Former Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett is drinking the Buffalo Bills Kool-Aid, calling Buffalo the best atmosphere in the NFL. Seems like that might rub a few people in Green Bay the wrong way.
The Long, Slow Downward Spiral Of Brian Brohm’s Career Continues
Aug 31st
Brian Brohm, former second-round pick of the Green Bay Packers and one of Ted Thompson’s biggest draft busts, is no longer in the NFL. He does have a job though. Here’s a look at the company he’s keeping these days.
Barnett Signs With Bills
Aug 1st
Former Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett signed a three-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. The team forked over some decent dough and Barnett will get a chance to be the man again, but probably won’t sniff the playoffs.
Clusterfuck Update 7/27: Free Agent Deals And Kolb To Cardinals
Jul 27th
Although teams can’t begin signing free agents until Friday, this is the second day they could negotiate with them. Several clubs took advantage and reached agreements with players. The Green Bay Packers jumped into the fray by reaching an agreement with Mason Crosby. Here are today’s developments that could impact the Packers’ quest to repeat [...]
Clusterfuck Update 7/26: Free Agent Deals And McNabb To Vikings
Jul 26th
Teams can’t officially sign free agents until Friday, but that didn’t stop several players from agreeing to contracts. That, plus the Minnesota Vikings pursuit of Donovan McNabb and Nnamdi Asomugha’s first suitor.
Nick Collins Third In Safety Rankings
May 3rd
Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins came in third in ESPN’s safety Power Rankings. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Troy Polamalu and Baltimore Ravens’ Ed Reed were unanimous selections for first and second — Polamalu got all the first-place votes and Reed got all the second-place votes. Collins finished 12 points ahead of fourth-place finisher Adrian Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals.
Where Are They Now? Packers’ Draft Busts: 2000-2010
Apr 5th
The Green Bay Packers have had their share of draft busts over the years. Some have been epic (Tony Mandarich), while others have snuck out of town almost unnoticed (Terrence Murphy). Well, thankfully we’re here to dredge up your past failures, point our gnarled, crooked, judgmental fingers at you and cackle. For you’ve shamed the [...]
Favre’s Streak Expected To End Tonight
Dec 13th
Brett Favre’s consecutive-starts streak is expected to come to an end tonight, when his Minnesota Vikings face the New York Giants at Detroit’s Ford Field. The streak, which started on Sept. 27, 1992, when Favre made his first start for the Green Bay Packers, will end at 297 games. That is, barring a miracle. Favre [...]
Marshawn Lynch Will Not Be Joining The Packers
Oct 5th
The Seattle Seahawks completed a deal to acquire Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch for a fourth-round pick in 2011 and a conditional pick in 2012, today. The Packers seemed to be the obvious destination for Lynch since Ryan Grant went down with a season-ending injury in week one and much speculation and rumor followed, [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Graham Harrell Unlikely To Make Final Roster
Sep 1st
I was a little disappointed to read Rob Demovsky’s article earlier this week about Green Bay Packers third-string quarterback Graham Harrell. According to Demovsky, Harrell has little chance of making the Packers final roster. The team kept only two quarterbacks on their opening-day roster last season and that appears to be the way they’re leaning [...]
NFL Could Be Headed To London Full Time
Jul 19th
The NFL has been playing one game each season in London for several years now. That isn’t likely to affect the Green Bay Packers under it’s current format because Packers fans and the team would go bat shit if the league proposed moving a home game out of Lambeau Field, particularly to another country. Somewhat [...]
T.O. To Chicago?
May 26th
That has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Really, I could care less what the Chicago Bears do. They’re still going to be the third or fourth best team in the NFC North if they sign Jesus Christ himself, but… Word is, free agent receiver Terrell Owens was in Chicago this week for some [...]
Brian Cushing Beats Clay Matthews For Rookie Of The Year… Again
May 12th
Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing won the defensive rookie of the year again, in an unprecedented re-vote by the Associated Press, which hands out the award. The re-vote was called after Cushing was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances. Cushing didn’t receive anywhere near the [...]

May 11th
Now that Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing has been suspended for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances, the Associated Press, which presents the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, has decided to re-vote for the honor. Cushing will remain on the ballot, but there’s a chance he won’t win the award [...]
