Packers Defense Shows Up Just in Time
Nov 15th
The Green Bay Packers’ defense that has largely been absent since the team’s last win – over the Cleveland Browns – essentially saved the Packers’ season in Sunday’s 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys. That unit everyone remembers from the preseason and dominating wins over the lowly Detroit Lions and Browns was back in full [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Cowboys
Nov 15th
Monty: The Green Bay Packers are in turmoil after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys come to town on a four-game winning streak. Injuries have taken a toll on the Packers, but they should go into the game with at least one offensive weapon back, in Jordy Nelson. Nelson will make [...]
Packers Offense Gets Into Some Finger Pointing
Nov 13th
Well, we knew this was coming because it already happened through the media, with both Cullen Jenkins and Charles Woodson calling out Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers. Now, it appears, members of that Packers offense are pointing fingers at each other, in what guard Daryn Colledge terms a “come-to-Jesus meeting.” Maybe that means [...]
Woodson Lone Packer on Midseason All-Pro Teams
Nov 10th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson has been named to Pro Football Weekly’s midseason All-Pro team. The selections, announced Tuesday, were voted on by editors at the publication. Woodson, 33, has forced one fumble and snagged four interceptions so far this season, including two – one of which he returned 37 yards for a touchdown [...]
Did Packers Get Right Defensive Coordinator?
Nov 10th
When the Green Bay Packers fired defensive coordinator Bob Sanders in January, coach Mike McCarthy interviewed Gregg Williams, then the former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, and Mike Nolan, then the former San Francisco 49ers coach. Williams’ story is well documented. He had interviewed with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton prior to visiting Green Bay. [...]
Packers Season Goes Into Toilet With Loss to Bucs
Nov 8th
It’s hard to imagine anyone saw this coming, except for Steffen, who predicted the exact result this morning. The Green Bay Packers have done what was almost unthinkable in losing to the previously-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-28. The story is the same that it’s been the entire season for the Packers – poor offensive line [...]
Two Reasons the Packers Could Go On A Roll
Nov 4th
There certainly is a lot of negative commentary surrounding the Green Bay Packers, right now. We’ve provided quite a bit of it ourselves, and rightfully so, the Packers stunk up the joint on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. You’ve got Cullen Jenkins openly questioning Dom Capers’ handling of the defense. There’s the statistical disparity between [...]
Packers’ Defender Points Finger at Capers, Again
Nov 2nd
For the second time after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a member of the Green Bay Packers’ defense is pointing fingers. The first time, it was cornerback Charles Woodson, who openly and loudly questioned why the Packers didn’t blitz Brett Favre more. That was a good question, at the time. The Packers routinely sent [...]
Five Reasons the Packers Will Beat the Vikings
Oct 28th
The Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites going into their contest with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Since the Packers are playing in Lambeau Field, that line simply means that the oddsmakers feel these two teams are evenly matched. Still, this season’s history says the Vikings are the better team. The Vikings are 6-1 to [...]
Everything Goes According to Script for Packers
Oct 26th
This is exactly how it was supposed to play out for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers would dominate the Cleveland Browns and the Minnesota Vikings would lose on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers, setting up a battle for first place in the NFC North next week in Lambeau Field. Technically, the Packers (4-2) [...]
Packers Sense of Urgency Needs Come From Within
Oct 13th
It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]
Penalties, Sacks and Turnovers Key to Packers Loss
Oct 6th
About the only thing the Green Bay Packers did right in their ugly 30-23 loss to the Vikings in the MetroBarn last night was hold Adrian Peterson to 55 yards rushing. Peterson did score once, but was held to an average of just 2.2 yards per rush, which is no small feat considering he’s racked [...]
Charles Woodson – Your NFC Defensive Player of the Month
Sep 30th
As first reported by Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee, Charles Woodson – or as we like to call him, Chuckles – will be named NFC Defensive Player of the Month, tomorrow. Woodson is tied for the league lead in interceptions with three, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Woodson also, inexplicably (this will [...]
Packers Shape Up, But It’s Only the Rams
Sep 28th
The Green Bay Packers got a much needed win on Sunday, and the team looked better than it did the previous week against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, it should be pointed out that the St. Louis Rams are one of the worst teams in football. Still, a win is a win, and although the game [...]
The Green Bay Packers Are Bad
Sep 21st
There, I said it. The Green Bay Packers are bad, and it’s depressing. It’s become pretty apparent why the Green Bay Packers are bad, too, after a 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. This is a Bengals team that scored seven points last week against the Denver Broncos. That’s seven points against [...]
Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions
Sep 21st
To quote The Jeffrey Lebwoski, the plan has crashed into the mountain. More painfully one sided than the close score suggests, yesterday’s Green Bay Packers’ 31-24 defeat to the lowly Cincinnati Bengals exposed more weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the Packers. The Packers’ offensive line play was even shakier than last week and aside from a [...]
Packers Begin Cuts, Woodson Talks Big
Aug 31st
The Green Bay Packers began trimming their roster on Sunday, in order to get down to Tuesday’s league mandated 75-player limit. Three players got their pink slips – punter Durant Brooks, receiver JaRon Harris, and linebacker Stryker Sulak. None of these cuts are a surprise, but Brooks’ release means that the Packers have settled on [...]
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 [...]
Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement
Jul 1st
With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season. Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too. There are some very [...]
The Packers Cornerback Battle
May 27th
While the Green Bay Packers certainly have some positions up for grabs this offseason – the entire offensive line, two defensive line spots, two outside linebacker spots, and fullback are in play, as well as who starts at safety alongside Nick Collins – there is one position that is more intriguing to me than any [...]
