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 [...]
Injuries Could Play Major Factor In Cardinals, Packers Rematch
Jan 7th
The Arizona Cardinals suffered three key injuries during their 33-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and defensive end Calais Campbell all left the contest and are in varying degrees of disrepair heading into the teams’ wild card matchup. Boldin, who recorded 84 receptions for 1,024 [...]
Round One: Packers…Doesn’t Mean Much Though
Jan 3rd
It’s hard to take too much away from the Green Bay Packers’ 33-7 drumming of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. It was a dominating performance, but Arizona rested most of its starters and coach Ken Whisenhunt played it safe, not showing much of what he will do when the two teams meet again next week [...]
Has Revis Edged Woodson For Defensive Player of the Year?
Dec 28th
We’ve handed Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson the defensive player of the year award already, but noted that his strongest competition is likely to come from New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Well, after the last two weeks, it appears the race isn’t quite over, and in fact, is probably closer than we imagine. [...]
Woodson Didn’t Want to Play in Green Bay
Dec 25th
It isn’t the first time I’ve heard it, but it bears mentioning because of the context it comes in – Charles Woodson did not want to play for the Green Bay Packers. That shouldn’t come as much of surprise. I don’t really want to spend any time in Green Bay either, unless it’s for a [...]
Fans’ Pro Bowl Selections An Even Bigger Joke Than We Thought
Dec 23rd
If only the NFL could idiot proof the Pro Bowl voting process. You know, make people prove they’re not complete fucking morons before they’re allowed to vote. Obviously, if there were any such measure in place, it didn’t work this year. We told you which way the voting was going last week, and it turned [...]
Jets’ Revis Woodson’s Main Competition For Defensive MVP
Dec 18th
Around these parts it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Green Bay Packers’ Charles Woodson will be the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. We’ve looked at the competition and crunched the numbers. But we may have overlooked one guy – New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Previously, our discussion centered around the Minnesota [...]
Mostly Idiots Voting For the Pro Bowl
Dec 17th
I hate to say this, but most fans of professional sports are idiots, which is why I hate the fact that fans have a say in which players play in the respective all-star games. I should put a disclaimer here, because I don’t lump Green Bay Packers’ fans in with most sports fans. Their passion [...]
Oh Yeah, Packers Are Playing The Bears This Week
Dec 12th
In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]
Holy Shit, Charles Woodson
Dec 10th
Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson has made play after play this season, many of them game changing and game winning. But today, I submit to you what I believe to be the most impressive play Charles Woodson has made all season. During the fourth quarter of the Baltimore Ravens game, Tramon Williams was flagged [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Ravens
Dec 7th
Monty: There are a lot of reasons why the Green Bay Packers are going to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. There’s one reason why they won’t – I’m going to be at the game. Not counting preseason, the Packers haven’t won a game that I’ve attended since a 2003 victory over the San [...]
Woodson Defensive POM, And Why He Should Win Defensive POY
Dec 3rd
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday, for the month of November. This is Woodson’s second such award this season, the first coming for his play in September. Additionally, Woodson has twice been named the NFC’s defensive player of the week, most recently for his [...]
Charles Woodson NFC Defensive Player of the Week… Again
Dec 2nd
Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. In addition to winning the award for his performance against the Detroit Lions, he also won it for his play in the Packers win over the Dallas Cowboys. Against Detroit, Woodson registered seven tackles, [...]
Charles Woodson is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year
Dec 1st
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson is having a career season, and is a big reason – if not the No. 1 reason – that the Packers’ defense jumped to the top overall ranking this week after the team’s 34-12 trouncing of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. According to the Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, the [...]
Five Reasons To Be Excited About The Green Bay Packers
Nov 29th
Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs. That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team [...]
Just Like Old Times, Packers Beat Lions
Nov 26th
Or maybe just like last time. The Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions 34-12, in a game reminiscent of the last time the two teams met in October. The game wasn’t really in doubt at any point, but the Packers hardly looked dominant against an opponent that was clearly overmatched. That was less due [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Lions
Nov 25th
Monty: The Detroit Lions once again demonstrated how bad their defense is in their victory over the Cleveland Browns last week. The Lions allowed Brady Quinn to throw for 304 yards and four touchdowns in that game. Quinn previously had thrown three touchdowns – in his career. In other words, the Green Bay Packers will [...]
Capers Defensive Strategy is Curious
Nov 24th
Or maybe it’s Dom Capers lack of defensive strategy that’s curious. Either way, the Green Bay Packers defense is a strange beast. One second, they’re dominant. The next… eh, not so much. We are talking about the third-ranked unit in the NFL, but Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers showed just how Jeykl and [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. 49ers
Nov 22nd
Monty: If the Green Bay Packers are going to prove themselves anything other than a mediocre team this season, this is where their run begins. The Packers match up favorably with the 49ers. On offense, San Francisco runs the ball and when they pass, their main weapon is tight end Vernon Davis. The Packers strength [...]
Stopping Davis Key For Packers
Nov 21st
We talked earlier about the San Francisco 49ers being a running team and the potential impact of Frank Gore, but the key to the Green Bay Packers’ chances on Sunday is stopping tight end Vernon Davis. Davis had three poor seasons to open his career, but has blossomed into a big time playmaker under 49ers [...]
