Bears Will Target Cullen Jenkins
Apr 6th
The Chicago Bears will target Green Bay Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins whenever free agency begins, according to John Mullin of CSN Chicago. The Bears are looking to improve their defensive line and after re-signing defensive tackle Anthony Adams, Jenkins will be the team’s second priority.
Troy Polamalu Says Troy Polamalu Didn’t Deserve DPOY Award
Feb 1st
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award by two votes over Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, but Polamalu says he doesn’t deserve the award. After he won the award, Polamalu turned to Twitter with these words. Thanks for the congrats. @jharrison9292 @ClayMatthews52 Ed Reed Julius Peppers way [...]
Peppers Fined For Hit On Rodgers
Jan 27th
Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the NFC Championship game. The hit occurred at the 11:20 mark in the fourth quarter and it drew a personal foul penalty. It also looked cheap as fuck, but Rodgers didn’t [...]
Who Is The Defensive Player Of The Year?
Jan 6th
There was a point in the season when everyone thought the answer to the question was a foregone conclusion. Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Then, a series of injuries and near constant double and triple teams started to slow Matthews. That isn’t to say his presence wasn’t felt. Matthews opens things up for his [...]
Favre Still Has It Out For The Packers
Dec 22nd
Remember when beating the Green Bay Packers wasn’t about revenge for Brett Favre? We totally believed him. Anyway, we thought he got the revenge he didn’t want last season when his Minnesota Vikings beat the Packers twice. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. Maybe his butt hurts because the Packers destroyed his poor-ass excuse for a team [...]
Midseason Awards: Total Packers Edition
Nov 5th
We gave you the midseason awards: other people’s edition yesterday and we also told you what we thought about midseason awards. The best word to summarize would be this one: indifference. However, we promised you our midseason awards at some point, and here they are. The difference between our midseason awards and other people’s are [...]
Predictons: Packers vs. Bears
Sep 27th
Steffen: It’s hard for me to say this, but I think Packer nation just has to accept it — the Chicago Bears are better than they were last year. They are a different, more confident team. They are playing faster on a defense that features a refurbished Brian Urlacher and the freakish abilities of Julius [...]
Bulaga Taking Over For Clifton Now Seems Inevitable
Sep 23rd
Even though Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy insisted veteran Chad Clifton is his starting left tackle earlier in the week, it now seems inevitable rookie Bryan Bulaga will take over for Clifton full time, this season. That will probably happen Monday night when the Packers take on the Chicago Bears. Clifton was removed from [...]
Bulaga Outplays Clifton, But McCarthy Stands By The Veteran
Sep 20th
Rookie Bryan Bulaga replaced an ineffective Chad Clifton at left tackle for the Green Bay Packers midway through the second quarter of the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. After the game Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the move was made because Clifton was suffering from a knee injury, but also noted Clifton [...]
T.O. To Chicago?
May 26th
That has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Really, I could care less what the Chicago Bears do. They’re still going to be the third or fourth best team in the NFC North if they sign Jesus Christ himself, but… Word is, free agent receiver Terrell Owens was in Chicago this week for some [...]
Bears Still Third Best In Division
Mar 9th
I’ll be honest, I like to laugh at the Chicago Bears, whether they’re mortgaging their future to acquire Jay Cutler, pretending they have serviceable wide receivers or completely bungling their search for an offensive coordinator. Under general manager Jerry Angelo, the Bears are funny. And yes, I mean funny like a clown. So, the Bears [...]
Day One Free Agency Update
Mar 5th
We’re going to update this post throughout the day simply because there already is a lot going on and there will be a lot more in the free for all known as NFL free agency. The most recent news will be at the top. ———- Safety Antrel Rolle was the last big signing of the [...]
Bears Targeting Kampman, Peppers
Feb 24th
The Chicago Bears needs a defensive end, that’s been established. Adewale Ogunleye is an unrestricted free agent and isn’t expected to be re-signed. Further, Gaines Adams, who the Bears traded a second-round draft choice for during the 2009 season, died in the offseason. Even with both of those guys, the Bears defensive line managed only [...]
Packers Off Julius Peppers’ List
Feb 12th
We’ve connected Carolina Panthers defensive end and free-agent-to-be Julius Peppers with the Green Bay Packers on a few occasions. So have several other outlets, but it looks like Peppers has already crossed the Packers off his list of potential teams. The National Football Post’s Andrew Brandt says there’s no chance Peppers will sign with Carolina [...]
Packers May Be in Market For a Big-Time Pass Rusher
Jan 15th
The Green Bay Packers defensive deficiencies were exposed against the Arizona Cardinals – lack of secondary depth and linebackers who can’t cover. While the Packers need to address these things in offseason, the real difference maker could be a big-time pass rusher. Let’s look at the obvious deficiencies first. The cornerback position is well stocked [...]
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 [...]
Aaron Kampman is Potential Trade Bait
Oct 9th
With the NFL trade deadline around the corner (October 20), it seems to be increasingly apparent that the Green Bay Packers are willing to listen to offers for, or may even be shopping, outside linebacker Aaron Kampman. Before you fly off the handle, this move would make sense for the Packers in a number of [...]
Packers Hire Trgovac, Peppers Coming Next?
Jan 23rd
In a move that we normally wouldn’t even both to speculate about or address, the Green Bay Press Gazette reported that the Packers hired Mike Trgovac as their defensive line coach today. The reason this may be significant is two-fold. First, Trgovac was Carolina’s defensive coordinator for the past six seasons. He turned down a contract [...]
The Packers Are Dead, Long Live The Packers
Dec 1st
With yet another heartbreaking 4 points-or-less loss, the Green Bay Packers have all but assured that the playoffs will be out of their reach, with their 35-31 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. The Packers don’t deserve it this year, not this coaching staff, not this underachieving group of players. But it’s hard [...]
