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 [...]
Al Harris is the Best CB in the League
Jan 27th
What? Yeah, that’s what I said. I love Al Harris, but he’s certainly no Chuckles Woodson, and when he came back from his spleen injury this past season, I secretly thought Tramon Williams was playing better than Al, before he got hurt. Anyway, to the point… Through some complex mathematical formula akin to quarterback ratings [...]
Dom Capers and the 3-4 – A Good Fit?
Jan 20th
After an unprecedented purge of defensive coaching staff, after much hemming and hawing and after much speculation, the Green Bay Packers have settled on former Houston Texans coach Dom Capers as their new defensive coordinator. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I like the hire. Dom Capers brings the type [...]
The Pro Bowl and Packers Hall of Fame
Dec 17th
Today, I thought I’d put out some good news, in the midst of all the bad, pissing and moaning, etc. And so… The Pro Bowl First, I will say that I don’t watch the Pro Bowl. It bores me. It’s after the season, when I am about footballed-out (if that’s possible). Frankly, if there isn’t [...]
The Packers Are Dead, Long Live The Packers
Dec 1st
With yet another heartbreaking 4 points-or-less loss, the Green Bay Packers have all but assured that the playoffs will be out of their reach, with their 35-31 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. The Packers don’t deserve it this year, not this coaching staff, not this underachieving group of players. But it’s hard [...]
Packers ‘Bearly’ Sneak by Chicago 37-3
Nov 17th
Coming off two heartbreakingly close losses in a row, the Green Bay Packers desperately needed a win on Sunday to keep their division championship hopes alive. The Chicago Bears gave the Packers everything they had for the first two minutes or so, but in the end, Green Bay emerged from the hard fought game as [...]
Packers vs. Colts Notes and Favre vs. Green Bay Becomes ESPN vs. Fox
Oct 21st
Before I get to the mind numbing douchebaggery that is the latest Brett Favre fiasco, let me share a few quick observations and opinions regarding the Green Bay Packers’ 34-14 dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts. Aaron Rodgers continues to impress the NFL world, Packers fans and most importantly, his teammates. Not only has he played [...]
Atari Bigby Returns, Ty Law Wants In
Oct 17th
Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby finally returned to the practice field Thursday, after being sidelined with a balky hamstring since the week two game against the Detroit Lions. Bigby didn’t do a hell of a lot on his first day back – going through “limited practice” – but has a chance to play this [...]
The Good News And The Better News For The Packers
Oct 14th
It’s true that I’m not overly optimistic about anything, so, let’s start with the better news. Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris, who suffered a lacerated spleen in the Packers week three loss to the Dallas Cowboys, is on his way back. First reported by the National Football Post on Monday, Harris was cleared for [...]
Packers vs. Bucanneers Quick Hits
Sep 29th
I’m not ready to jump onto the “Fire Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy” bandwagon just yet, but man, oh man are the Green Bay Packers in trouble. Yesterday’s 30-21 loss was not nearly as close as the final score indicated. Here are some quick observations on what went wrong (a lot) and what went right [...]
Packers Not As Good As We Thought
Sep 22nd
The class of the NFC, the Green Bay Packers are not. The Dallas Cowboys made sure of that, with a thorough 27-16 victory last night at Lambeau Field. Pretty simply, the Green Bay Packers played some bad football. Other than the stellar play of cornerback Charles Woodson, who held one Terrell Owens to two catches [...]
Packers vs. Lions Quick Hits
Sep 16th
As much as I hate to be a wet blanket, Green Bay Packers’ fans should not start chanting “Su-per-Bowl” just yet. Even though Aaron Rodgers continues to impress and the Packers came up with big play after big play, there is plenty of room to improve. The final score, as they say, doesn’t indicate how [...]
