Predictions: Packers vs. Browns
Oct 25th
Total Packers takes a look at todays’s Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns game and offers their predictions. Monty: The Cleveland Browns are bad, we know that. The Browns are last in the league in defense. They are second to last in offense. Their lone win was against another very bad team – the Buffalo Bills [...]
The Invisible Man: A.J. Hawk
Oct 24th
In recent weeks, Hawk has seen his playing time severely reduced as it has grown obvious that he no longer fits into the Packers defensive scheme.
Here’s what I don’t understand…
Joan Jett Loves Two Things We Love
Oct 24th
Rock ‘n Roll and the Green Bay Packers. I wouldn’t say these things necessarily go together, but who gives a shit? Jett – who you may remember from such recordings as I Love Rock ‘N Roll, Do You Wanna Touch Me, and I Hate Myself For Loving You – recently spoke about her love for [...]
Shedding Some Light on Packers Signing of Ahman Green
Oct 23rd
When the Green Bay Packers signed Ahman Green on Wednesday there was a range of responses – from “awesome!” to “what the hell?” Well, let’s get this out of the way right at the top, Green isn’t the player he was when he left the Packers via free agency to sign with the Houston Texans. [...]
Chad Clifton: Cheater
Oct 22nd
Remember when Green Bay Packers left tackle Chad Clifton got called for two penalties for not lining up on the line of scrimmage against the Detroit Lions, last Sunday? Evidence suggests Clifton has done this before, and may have been doing it for a while. I’m sure the Packers, their fans and Clifton will take [...]
Packers Game Against the Browns Just Got Easier
Oct 22nd
The Green Bay Packers are playing the Cleveland Browns this weekend. I thought I’d point that out because no one is really talking about the game, and with good reason. The Browns rank 31st in the league on offense, ahead of only the Oakland Raiders and superstar quarterback JaMarcus Russell, where they average 240 yards [...]
Favre Bowl II Stupidity Begins to Ramp Up
Oct 21st
I’ve blogged before about the idiotic heights some Green Bay Packers’ fans are reaching in anticipation of Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field on Nov. 1. In September, Chris Carriveau announced a “purification ceremony” at a “Black Sunday Event” Oct. 31, at which fans can toss their Favre Packers paraphernalia into a [...]
Packers Sign Free Agent Ahman Green
Oct 21st
After at least one false start, Ahman Green has officially signed with the Green Bay Packers. According to Greg Bedard of the Journal Sentinel, the former Packers All-Pro running back has agreed to a one-year contract with the Packers. DeShawn Wynn, who has served as Ryan Grant’s primary backup this season, is expected to be [...]
Placing Responsibility For the Packers Penalties
Oct 20th
The argument can certainly be made that no one but Chad Clifton was responsible for the four penalties he committed against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but it’s hard to understand why Clifton did it. The Green Bay Packers were playing at home, so it’s unlikely crowd noise was a factor. Clifton wasn’t lining up [...]
Clay Matthews – Catalyst for the Packers Defense
Oct 19th
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews made his first NFL start on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and boy, what a start it was. Matthews, the Packers second first-round pick this season, played every snap, contributed two sacks and five tackles, including one for a loss. We’ve gone over and over the Packers shortcomings [...]
Packers Trade Chatter Gets Louder as Deadline Approaches
Oct 19th
The chatter is getting louder with the NFL trade deadline looming tomorrow and the Green Bay Packers are part of it. Whether that results in any deals remains to be seen – Packers GM Ted Thompson isn’t known for his splashy moves – but there are some things to keep an eye on. The Journal [...]
Detroit Win Proof Packers Aren’t Going Very Far
Oct 19th
It pains me to say it, but the 2009 Green Bay Packers football team is not a good football team. Right now, the Packers are at best an average football team. Even though the Packers completely handled the Detroit Lions – to the tune of 26-0 – it was again apparent why the Packers won’t [...]
Packers Drub Lions, But Look Ugly Doing It
Oct 18th
Kudos to the Green Bay Packers for taking it to the lowly Matt Stafford- and Calvin Johnson-less (and later, Daunte Culpepper-less) Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The 26-0 shutout keeps the Packers’ home winning streak against the Lions alive at 19 games and gives the team a much-needed boost coming off their bye [...]
Lions Winning Respect in NFL, But Not in Detroit
Oct 17th
I love this Detroit News column that proclaims “Lions winning respect in NFL,” and then basically goes on to say that the Lions suck and are going to lose to the Green Bay Packers this weekend. After the feel good headline are these words. When the Lions go on the road to play the Green [...]
Rollin’ Out The Red Carpet For Brett Favre
Oct 16th
On November 1st, the city of Green Bay will be rolling out the red carpet for a Viking. That’s right, Mayor Jim Schmitt is hell-bent on welcoming Brett Favre with open arms.
Lions Stafford, Johnson Doubtful for Sunday
Oct 16th
Well, I told you the Green Bay Packers were about to get healthy. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and stud wide receiver Calvin Johnson both missed practice again on Friday. This was the second day Stafford has missed practice this week. Johnson hasn’t practiced at all. Both players are battling knee injuries and are unlikely [...]
Donald Driver Will Make Green Bay Packers History on Sunday
Oct 16th
We haven’t seen a psychic, but it doesn’t take much to know that Green Bay Packers’ history will be made when the Packers face the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Donald Driver needs one catch to surpass Sterling Sharpe as the Green Bay Packers all-time leader in receptions. The last time Driver didn’t catch a pass [...]
Bet Big: Lions May Be Without Stafford, Johnson on Sunday
Oct 15th
If you’re a betting man or woman, now might be the time to consider placing a large wager on the Green Bay Packers in their contest with the Detroit Lions, this Sunday. As of today, it seems probable that the Lions could be without their two biggest offensive weapons when they face the Packers. Neither [...]
Brett Favre – Open Mouth, Insert Foot
Oct 15th
Remember who Brett Favre’s best team is? Nope, it isn’t the 1996 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers that featured Reggie White, Keith Jackson, Antonio Freeman, Sean Jones, LeRoy Butler, etc., etc. It’s this year’s version of the Minnesota Vikings – at least that’s what he told us earlier this week. Not surprisingly, there were [...]
Trade Rumors Around the NFC North
Oct 15th
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and while there are very few in-season trades made in the NFL, that doesn’t stop people from speculating about what could or should happen. The Green Bay Packers have been linked to several names, but more on that in a moment. The most persistent rumor revolving around any NFC [...]
