Favre’s Streak Expected To End Tonight
Dec 13th
Brett Favre’s consecutive-starts streak is expected to come to an end tonight, when his Minnesota Vikings face the New York Giants at Detroit’s Ford Field. The streak, which started on Sept. 27, 1992, when Favre made his first start for the Green Bay Packers, will end at 297 games. That is, barring a miracle. Favre [...]
Packers In Trouble At Linebacker, Too
Dec 13th
While everyone in the great state of Wisconsin is concerned about Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his availability for Sunday’s game after suffering his second concussion of the season, his status will be up in the air as he undergoes tests throughout the week. The injury news isn’t getting any better for the [...]
Jenkins May Be Latest Packer Out For The Year
Dec 13th
Green Bay Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins didn’t play a snap on Sunday. In fact, he didn’t attend a single practice in the past week. Jenkins has been staying off his injured calf, which he re-injured against San Francisco. The injury is likely to cost Jenkins another week and might end his season. “You can’t [...]
Rodgers Hurt; Packers Offense Pathetic In Loss To Lions
Dec 12th
To say the Green Bay Packers 7-3 loss to the Detroit Lions was a defensive struggle wouldn’t be giving the offenses proper credit for how horribly they played. The game was 0-0 at the half. The first touchdown of the day didn’t come until midway through the fourth quarter, when Lions tight end Will Heller [...]
Our Favorite Packers Fan, Ashlynn Brooke, On ESPN Milwaukee
Dec 12th
Even though we didn’t get any credit for it, I’m sure we’re at least indirectly responsible for Ashlynn Brooke‘s Friday appearance on ESPN Milwaukee’s The D-List. After all, would any of these sheltered fools even realize she was a Green Bay Packers fan if it wasn’t for us? No. No, they wouldn’t. Brooke was No. [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Lions
Dec 11th
Shawn: The talk locally has centered around whether the game against the New York Giants or the Chicago Bears constitutes the must-win game for the Green Bay Packers. The easy answer, of course, is that neither do, that the must-win game is actually this weekend against the Detroit Lions. A loss this week would likely [...]
Matthews Has Shin Injury
Dec 11th
Although Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said injuries weren’t slowing him down earlier this week, that may not be the case. On Friday, it was revealed Matthews has a shin injury that is getting progressively worse. The injury won’t heal until the offseason, when Matthews will be able to rest it. “It’s constant, I’ll [...]
Bigby Could Return This Week
Dec 10th
Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby, who’s spent more time standing around on the sideline this season than he has on the field, could return from his latest injury as early as this week. Bigby took part in a limited portion of practice on Thursday and passed a running test before practice, which is the [...]
TiVo Time: San Francisco 49ers
Dec 9th
It’s like t-shirt time, only better, because no one from Jersey is involved. Shawn Neuser takes a look at the Green Bay Packers 34-16 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Green Bay Packers did what they needed to in dispatching the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Here is a closer look at the key [...]
Matthews Discusses Recent Drop In Production
Dec 9th
Perhaps it isn’t quite accurate to say Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews’ production has dropped. His sack numbers have dropped, for sure. He’s now second in the league with 11.5 sacks — Miami’s Cameron Wake has 12 — after leading the league for most of the season and he hasn’t recorded a sack the [...]
Rodgers Is Player Of The Week
Dec 8th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Rodgers finished the Packers’ 34-16 victory over San Francisco 21-of-30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns. Perhaps more impressively, and indicative of the roll Rodgers has been on of late, is [...]
Lang, McDonald Could Be Future Starters On Offensive Line
Dec 8th
After the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons, we were quick to point out the offensive line’s ineffectual run blocking. It was pretty clear after the loss that everyone not named Josh Sitton was struggling in the running game and the stats backed it up. The Packers showed improvement against an inferior opponent [...]
Donald Driver: One More Time
Dec 8th
For some reason, this touchdown reception by Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver against the San Francisco 49ers never gets old. So, watch it one more time before the Nazis at the NFL have it pulled from YouTube. If you heard the local radio broadcast, Larry McCarren yelled, “The old man’s still got it!” as [...]
Al Harris To Injured Reserve
Dec 7th
The Miami Dolphins have placed former Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris on injured reserve, ending his season. Harris played in three games for the Dolphins after being released by the Packers in November. He spent the majority of the year with the Packers on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from major [...]
Whatever Happened To Brandon Underwood?
Dec 7th
Remember Brandon Underwood? During the summer, the Green Bay Packers were high on Underwood. Coach Mike McCarthy said he was the player who made the biggest second-year jump. Underwood came into training camp as the Packers nickel cornerback. Underwood played well during practice, but that didn’t carry over to the preseason games. Then he got [...]
Jenkins Out This Week, Maybe Longer
Dec 6th
Fresh off setting a career high in sacks after a two-sack performance against San Francisco, Green Bay Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins got some bad news — the calf strain he suffered on Sunday will keep him out of this week’s game with Detroit and possibly longer. “It may be a couple weeks. When you’re [...]
Starks’ Future Looks Bright
Dec 6th
Not that it’s time to anoint rookie running back James Starks the second coming, but the sixth-round pick looks like he might have a bright future with the Green Bay Packers. Starks ran for 73 yards on 18 carries in the Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Sunday. Meanwhile, starting halfback Brandon Jackson got [...]
Packers Offense Soars, Defense Struggles
Dec 5th
The Green Bay Packers started slow, at one point trailing 6-0, but after an electrifying second quarter touchdown catch by Greg Jennings, there was no looking back for the Green Bay offense. Aaron Rodgers continued his hot streak and the Packers defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-16. As I pointed out in my prediction, 49ers [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. 49ers
Dec 4th
Shawn: The San Francisco 49ers are still in contention to win their pathetic division, and they are coming off probably their best game of the season. So, they will at least start this game with the belief that they can play with the Green Bay Packers. It will be up to the Packers to dispel [...]
Let The James Starks Era Begin
Dec 4th
Green Bay Packers rookie running back James Starks looks likely to see his first action of the season on Sunday. Although Dmitri Nance has served as Brandon Jackson’s primary backup the past few games, both he and Starks suggested it would be the rookie sixth-round pick who will serve as Jackson’s relief this week. “I [...]
