Barnett And Finley’s Whining Pays Off
Jan 26th
Green Bay Packers Nick Barnett and Jermichael Finley took issue with the fact the team wasn’t going to include the players on injured reserve in the team’s Super Bowl photo. They whined about it on Twitter and now that whining has paid off. The team was initially slated to take the photo on Tuesday, in [...]
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 [...]
Jennings’ Increased Production Directly Related To Finley’s Demise
Nov 24th
Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings is playing some outstanding football of late. In the last five games, Jennings has 32 receptions for 520 yards and six touchdowns. Those are pretty nice numbers, especially when compared to his first five games — 14 receptions for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Additionally, Jennings’ targets have increased [...]
Havner Could Be Back With Packers Soon
Nov 11th
The Green Bay Packers worked out tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner on Tuesday and will reportedly sign him soon, according to Scout.com. Havner took a physical for the Packers last week. The continued interest signals that the Packers very likely will re-sign Havner, perhaps as soon as Monday, when the team gathers for its first practice [...]
Jermichael Finley On Injured Reserve
Oct 18th
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley joined six of his teammates on injured reserve, Monday. The Packers officially ended Finley’s season when they completed the trade to acquire safety Anthony Smith from the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was a possibility Finley could have returned to the team this season. He had surgery to repair a [...]
Rodgers Good To Go, Matthews Game-Time Decision
Oct 15th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went through a full practice Friday and has been cleared to start against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Officially, he’s listed as probable on the injury report. “I thought Aaron Rodgers looked fine today at practice,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “From my perspective, I would say he’s ready to [...]
Rodgers Cleared, Returns To Practice
Oct 14th
Rest easy, Green Bay Packers nation. There’s a good chance quarterback Aaron Rodgers will play against Miami on Sunday. Rodgers, who suffered a concussion against Washington, has been cleared by doctors and returned to practice on a limited basis, Thursday. The quarterback had to be cleared both in house and by an outside specialist. Unless [...]
Finley May Be Done For The Year, Martin Is
Oct 13th
The hits just keep coming for the Green Bay Packers and not in a good way. Tight end Jermichael Finley, who was originally expected to miss three-to-six weeks with a torn meniscus, will be out longer. During surgery, doctors discovered they could repair Finley’s meniscus, rather than removing it as originally planned. The news is [...]
Packers’ Stars May Play Sunday
Oct 12th
The Green Bay Packers will be without tight end Jermichael Finley on Sunday, but it looks like their two biggest injured stars have a shot at playing. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a concussion on the final play of the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit, will miss some practice time this week, but hasn’t been [...]
Finley Out 3-6 Weeks; Barnett To Have Surgery
Oct 11th
The good news for the Green Bay Packers is tight end Jermichael Finley’s injury isn’t season ending. The bad news is he’ll need surgery and will miss three to six weeks. Finley tore his meniscus early in the Packers loss to the Washington Redskins, on Sunday. Meanwhile, linebacker Nick Barnett will have surgery on his [...]
Packers Lackluster In Loss To Redskins, Injuries Continue To Mount
Oct 10th
The Green Bay Packers did everything they could to keep the Washington Redskins in the football game for four quarters. In the end, the Redskins finally took advantage to win 16-13 on a Graham Gano 33-yard field goal in overtime. After a strong first half, the Packers offense failed to do anything of note in [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Lions
Oct 2nd
Steffen: After what feels like decades of ineptitude (oh wait, it has been decades) the Detroit Lions’ offseason roster moves had many prognosticators predicting marked improvement over last season’s two-win season. Indeed the Lions are an improved team. Led by rookie dynamo Jahvid Best, the offense has more firepower and fellow rookie defensive tackle/tank Ndamukong [...]
Jermichael Finley Remembers Your Dumb Ass, Louis Delmas
Oct 2nd
If there’s one guy on the Green Bay Packers’ offense you probably don’t want to piss off, it’s tight end Jermichael Finley. No one has ever accused Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas of being the brightest bulb, though. This is, after all, the guy who essentially said the Lions would make the playoffs by going [...]
Packers Do What They’re Supposed To With The Bills
Sep 19th
I’d like to say we learned a lot about the Green Bay Packers after they defeated the Buffalo Bills 34-7 on Sunday, but I can’t. The Packers let the Bills hang around in the first half, but ultimately did exactly what they were supposed to do — dominate one of the worst teams in the [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Bills
Sep 18th
Steffen: The Vegas oddsmakers have the Green Bay Packers favored by how much again? 13.5 points? There are plenty of folks out there who’d tell you that isn’t nearly enough. Don’t count me among them. Like last week, this game will be much closer than it needs to be. Obviously, the biggest question mark for [...]
Packers Not Exactly Dominant In Season-Opening Win
Sep 12th
Maybe it’s time to table the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl talk for a bit. The defense, led by linebacker Clay Matthews, was the biggest reason the Packers were able to escape Philadelphia with a 27-20 win over the Eagles. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense wasn’t close to firing on all cylinders, but [...]
Packers Offense Could Join A Select Few
Sep 12th
The Green Bay Packers offense looks like a juggernaut going into the 2010 season. The possibilities of this season got me thinking about some of the greatest individual seasons by teammates in NFL history. The Packers had two 1,000-yard receivers, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 4,000-yard passer in 2009. Those numbers came courtesy of Greg [...]
Packers Offensive Line Has Become A Strength
Sep 9th
No one would have considered the Green Bay Packers offensive line a strength last season, particularly in the first half. Part of the reason was the ineffectiveness of right tackle Allen Barbre, who was eventually replaced by Mark Tauscher. Another factor was injuries. Chad Clifton missed several games, forcing left guard Daryn Colledge and later [...]
Observations From Packers 59-24 Victory Over Colts
Aug 26th
The Green Bay Packers offense is potent, we knew that, but in their longest outing of the preseason against last year’s AFC champs, they put any doubts to rest. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who I have a hard time believing isn’t on his way to becoming the best player in the NFL, cut up the Colts [...]
