Clay Matthews Should Have A Field Day On Sunday
Dec 4th
The San Francisco 49ers clearly intend on throwing any and everyone they have at Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, on Sunday. Matthews and his league-leading 11.5 sacks will be lined up across from rookie right tackle Anthony Davis. Granted, Davis was a first-round pick this season, but he’s struggled in every game with [...]
Jerry Kramer Wants You To Enlist You
Dec 3rd
That’s right, you. Green Bay Packers legend Jerry Kramer is organizing what he hopes will be a nationwide fundraiser to help former NFL players in need and he would like to enlist you. It’s all pretty easy if you’d like to participate. All you have to do is round up some friends and go to [...]
TiVo Time: Atlanta Falcons
Dec 3rd
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 20-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. A few key plays make the difference in a tightly contested game against Atlanta. Here’s a closer look. 10:00, 1st quarter — Atlanta’s first drive ends [...]
Packers Talking The Talk Despite Setbacks
Dec 3rd
Everyone is a little frustrated the Green Bay Packers can’t quite get over the hump, including the players, but while the Packers could have won every game they played this season, only two teams have gone through an NFL regular season undefeated. There have been some close losses. There was the missed opportunity to make [...]
Packers Offensive Line Hyped, But They’re Really Not That Good
Dec 2nd
The Green Bay Packers offensive line has been getting a lot of positive hype this season, primarily because they’ve kept quarterback Aaron Rodgers off his ass, for the most part. Indeed, the Packers offensive line has improved in pass protection. They’ve allowed only 21 sacks so far this year, which is the 12th fewest in [...]
Johnson: Singletary Is A Motivational Speaker
Dec 1st
Since the Green Bay Packers are playing the San Francisco 49ers this week, I thought it would be interesting to point this out. Former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson said 49ers coach Mike Singletary is like a motivational speaker posing as a football coach. I’m paraphrasing a bit, but the message is [...]
Francois, Gordy Are Your Newest Packers
Dec 1st
The Green Bay Packers filled the two roster spots vacated when they placed Brandon Chillar and Spencer Havner on injured reserve by promoting Robert Francois and Josh Gordy from the practice squad. Francois, a linebacker, was on the Packers’ roster for four games earlier this season. He was originally promoted from the practice squad prior [...]
The 1944 Green Bay Packers Contract
Dec 1st
This seems to have been circulating around the email forwarding circuit for a little while, but I think it’s fairly cool anyway. We’ve confirmed with Packers Hall of Fame that this is a copy of the Green Bay Packers’ 1944 contract. It contains a cover letter — the image below — from Curly Lambeau to [...]
Chillar, Havner The Latest Packers To Injured Reserve
Nov 30th
The Green Bay Packers now have 13 players on injured reserve after the team placed linebacker Brandon Chillar and tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner there, Tuesday. Both players aggravated injuries — Chillar a shoulder and Havner a hamstring — in the Packers’ loss to Atlanta. Chillar recorded 16 tackles, a sack and an interception in eight [...]
Packers Lock Up Tramon Williams
Nov 30th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams has signed a four-year contract extension. The deal averages $8.25 million per season and locks up Williams through 2014. Williams will receive $14,376,333 in base salary this year, with $5.074 million guaranteed, according to the Journal Sentinel. The total worth of the contract is $41.25 million, which includes a [...]
The Best Rivalry In The NFL Is…
Nov 30th
We’re biased, but we obviously think the best rivalry in the NFL is the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings. Frankly, I wouldn’t piss on a Vikings fan if he were on fire and I felt that way even before a long-time hero decided he needed to stab an entire fan base in the back. [...]
It’s Time Aaron Rodgers Entered The MVP Conversation
Nov 30th
It would be a lot easier to make this argument if the Green Bay Packers had beaten the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, but it’s nonetheless time Aaron Rodgers entered the MVP conversation. Rodgers has been nothing short of spectacular over the Packers’ last three games. In fact, he’s carried a Packers offense that has little-to-no [...]
Chillar, Havner Could Miss Extended Time, Lee On The Outs
Nov 29th
Not that the news is going to change the season, but the Green Bay Packers are likely to be without linebacker Brandon Chillar and tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner for a while. Chillar aggravated the shoulder injury he suffered earlier in the year on kickoff coverage in the first half of the Packers’ loss to Atlanta. [...]
No Challenge Because The Georgia Dome Sucks
Nov 29th
We were ready to chalk this one of up to another case of Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy being a moron. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In the second quarter, the Falcons converted a fourth-and-3 when Matt Ryan passed to tight end Tony Gonzales for six yards. The replay showed that [...]
Green Bay Packers: Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda
Nov 28th
The Green Bay Packers lost by three points for the fourth time this season, which actually is the sum total of all of their losses. There’s really no reason to overreact at this point. The Packers lost to a good team on their home field — a home field where the Atlanta Falcons are 18-1 [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Falcons
Nov 27th
Shawn: I’ve said all year the Green Bay Packers would win this week’s game, and if anything, I believe even more strongly in that prediction now. The Atlanta Falcons are 8-2, sure. Everyone seems to have forgotten that they beat the Saints after Garrett Hartley missed two easy field goals that would have won the [...]
Look For Bishop To Get New Contract
Nov 27th
Green Bay Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop finally got his chance to start and he’s making the most of it. Bishop has outperformed Nick Barnett, who he replaced in the starting lineup after Barnett’s season-ending wrist injury, by a wide margin. So far this season, Bishop has 54 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and an [...]
TiVo Time: Minnesota Vikings
Nov 25th
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 31-3 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. By now, everyone knows about and has perhaps sobered up from the ass whooping the Green Bay Packers put on the Vikings on Sunday. Here is [...]
And Here Comes Atari Bigby’s Next Injury Problem
Nov 25th
Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby has aggravated the hamstring injury that landed him on the physically unable to perform list, which perfectly follows his pattern. By most accounts, Bigby is a decent safety, when he can stay on the field. Unfortunately, he can’t stay on the field very often. In addition to missing the [...]
Jennings Is NFC Player Of The Week
Nov 24th
In what seems to be pretty much a weekly occurrence, a member of the Green Bay Packers will be handed an NFC Player of the Week award. This time, receiver Greg Jennings will get the offensive award. Jennings had seven catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers rout of the Minnesota Vikings, [...]
