We’ve talked about the importance, or lack there of, of preseason predictions. However, WhatIfSports.com is a little bit different and little bit more intriguing. The site uses a computer to generate the results for each NFL game of the season based on player stats. Of course, they’re using 2009 season stats for their projections at [...]

The Thing About Preseason Predictions
Jul 1st
Is they don’t mean anything. Sure, the Green Bay Packers are the preseason darling of many — the fashionable Super Bowl choice, if you will. What does that get the Packers? High expectations. Granted, there’s no reason this year’s version of the Packers shouldn’t have high expectations entering the season, but it’s July 1. No [...]
A Green Bay Packers Prayer
May 10th
I’m not sure whether I’d call this a prayer or perhaps a revision of the Bible, but this drunken Green Bay Packers’ fan has an epic rant about the Packers, Aaron Rodgers and a few other teams. Oh, and to make it even better, he’s shitfaced, decked out in full Brewers gear and is wearing [...]

See Ya Later Texas Stadium
Apr 12th
The shithole that is Texas Stadium is no more. Home to the Dallas Cowboys for 39 years, and a few too many bad memories for the Green Bay Packers, Texas Stadium was blown the fuck up yesterday. Being the swell guy that he is, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones charged an admission fee and also let [...]
Chargers’ Cromartie To Packers: Only If Price Is Right
Feb 18th
The San Diego Chargers need a running back. LaDanian Tomlinson, who will turn 31 in June, is likely to be released by the team after gaining only 730 yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry in 2009.

Did the Packers Choose Wisely in 2006?

Those men are Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, who were joined by Mike McCarthy, current Dallas [...]
They Love Brett Favre In Cambodia
Jan 17th
In honor of our favorite traitor quarterback and the dregs of the NFL – the Minnesota Vikings, who we wish all the bad fortune in the world – we thought today would be an appropriate time to whip out our latest video. Recently, a friend of the Total Packers family took a trip to Cambodia. [...]
Packers Defensive Line Will Win Super Bowl
Jan 7th
The statement alone is preposterous – the Green Bay Packers defensive line will lead the team to a Super Bowl title – but the statistics back it up. We’re talking about the Defensive Hog Index, developed by Cold Hard Football Facts. The Green Bay Packers rank first this season and that’s significant because, since it’s [...]

It’s Not Just Mason Crosby – All NFL Kickers Suck
Dec 24th
We certainly take our share of shots at Green Bay Pacekers’ kicker Mason Crosby around here, but the New York Times did an interesting analysis that shows the NFL’s kickers as a whole pretty much suck. Last season, kickers made 84.5 percent of their field goals – an all-time high. So far this season, that [...]

Fringe Observers Planted At Packers-Cowboys Game
Nov 19th
Fox’s Fringe was written off early on by a lot of TV viewers as a rip-off of The X-Files. While it shares some similarities – FBI agents investigating paranormal activity – that’s about where the similarities end. They are actually pretty different shows. The X-Files was fairly aliens-centric, while Fringe deals with parallel universes and [...]
1996 Packers, 49ers Riot Game Changed Everything
Nov 18th
There have been some great matchups in the history of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers series, but the high point came in the mid-to-late ’90s.

Conservative Packers’ Offense Could Become Norm
Nov 17th
We talked about it before the Dallas Cowboys’ game – the Green Bay Packers had to employ an offensive game plan that included copious amounts of Ryan Grant and quick passes to negate the opposing team’s pass rush. That’s just what the Packers did, and the result was an unspectacular but effective offensive performance and [...]
