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 [...]
Packers Sense of Urgency Needs Come From Within
Oct 13th
It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]
Penalties, Sacks and Turnovers Key to Packers Loss
Oct 6th
About the only thing the Green Bay Packers did right in their ugly 30-23 loss to the Vikings in the MetroBarn last night was hold Adrian Peterson to 55 yards rushing. Peterson did score once, but was held to an average of just 2.2 yards per rush, which is no small feat considering he’s racked [...]
Packers vs. Vikings: Let the Bullshit Fest Begin
Sep 29th
It’s only Tuesday, and already the spin machine is churning in anticipation of next Monday night’s meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings at the MetroBarn. Of course, Vikings’ coach Brad Childress’ latest comments are the lamest from either side, telling reporters the team’s Winter Park facility “won’t be vibrating” this week [...]
Packers Shape Up, But It’s Only the Rams
Sep 28th
The Green Bay Packers got a much needed win on Sunday, and the team looked better than it did the previous week against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, it should be pointed out that the St. Louis Rams are one of the worst teams in football. Still, a win is a win, and although the game [...]
Top 10 Green Bay Packers Stats We Wished They Kept
Sep 16th
It’s our first (and who knows, maybe last) Green Bay Packers’ Top 10 List – Top 10 Green Bay Packers’ Stats We Wished They Kept. 10. Times Aaron Rodgers has been asked about Brett Favre. 9. Games in which Mike McCarthy didn’t have a pen or pencil stuck in his hat. 8. Messages Reggie White received [...]
Enter, The Walrus
May 14th
Since nothing has been going on with old whats-his-name (unless you work at ESPN, where the “There’s Corn in Brett Favre’s Shit” story has got everyone on red alert), we thought we’d post about another former Green Bay Packers great, The Walrus AKA Mike Holmgren. Pretty much as soon at The Walrus decided he was [...]
Aaron Kampman to OLB
Feb 3rd
Green Bay Packers coach Mike “Smartest Guy in the Room” McCarthy confirmed (sort of) Aaron Kampman will be moving from defensive end to outside linebacker in new defensive coordinator Dom Capers 3-4 defense, today. “Well, it depends on what personnel we have on the field. When we line up in the first base defense, yeah, [...]
Dom Capers and the 3-4 – A Good Fit?
Jan 20th
After an unprecedented purge of defensive coaching staff, after much hemming and hawing and after much speculation, the Green Bay Packers have settled on former Houston Texans coach Dom Capers as their new defensive coordinator. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I like the hire. Dom Capers brings the type [...]
Dom Capers Is the Man
Jan 19th
The Green Bay Packers have finally settled on a defensive coordinator, and his name is Dom Capers. Anyone who knows anything about football will recall that Capers coached the Carolina Panthers from 1995-98. And anyone who knows anything about the Packers will recall the Packers handled Capers’ Panthers in the 1996 NFC Championship game. Capers [...]
Packers Purge Defensive Coaching Staff
Jan 5th
Bob Sanders has been fired as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator – something that doesn’t come as much of a surprise after special teams coach Mike Stock retired on Friday. Something that is somewhat more of a surprise, however, is the Packers’ entire defensive coaching staff was canned along with Sanders, with the exception [...]
Green Bay Packers: Infamy Avoided
Dec 29th
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers completed a miserable 6-10 season with a 31-21 victory over the Detroit Lions, and in the process managed to avoid infamy by not becoming the only team to lose to the Lions this year. The Lions are the first team in league history to go 0-16. At times it was [...]
Tis the Season of Giving
Dec 23rd
And that’s just what the Green Bay Packers did last night – gave those scumbags from Chicago a 20-17 overtime victory. This one turned to shit in the third quarter, when the cursed Jarrett Bush let a Chicago punt bounce off his backside. After that, the Bears gained momentum that never came back to the [...]
New Green Bay Packers’ Coach: The Short List
Dec 16th
No, Mike McCarthy hasn’t been fired… yet. But there’s no sense in not preparing for the future, and we here at Total Packers like to be prepared. While there’s no telling if Big Ted will do the right thing after the season by parting ways with McCarthy, here’s a look at what would make the [...]
Cowboys Don’t Implode, Packers Do
Dec 15th
Numb. That about sums up how I feel about the Green Bay Packers after their 20-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. Pretty much every aspect of the game was ugly. The overwhelming feeling that the Packers have been in this situation before, that they wouldn’t come through on a particular play, and that this [...]
The White Elephant in the Room
Dec 10th
Most everyone is quick to point the finger at defensive coordinator Bob Sanders as the scapegoat in this dismal Green Bay Packers’ season. And the proverbial finger has good reason to be pointed in Sanders direction, especially after a disgusting 24-21 home loss to the Houston Texans, in which the defense was carved up for [...]
Mike McCarthy – A List

Here is a short list of people who are better football coaches than Mike McCarthy. Snoop Dogg Bill Cowher The Tuna Me That monkey from Any Which Way But Loose The Walrus Paul Goldie Hawn in Wildcats Goldie Hawn in real life Tom Coughlin Denny Green Jimmy Johnson’s hair Bill Cowher’s mustache Bob Stoops USC’s [...]
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 [...]
Packers vs. Saints Recap
Nov 25th
.jpg "Aaron Rodgers")
In the first half of the Green Bay Packers excruciating 51-29 loss to the New Orleans Saints, there were a few questionable calls and non-calls that went New Orleans’ way. Something stunk about a lot of those (the Drew Brees intentional grounding non-call, for example) and had the game stayed close, I would have made [...]
Vikings vs. Packers: Who Sucked And Who Didn’t
Nov 10th
Every week the Green Bay Packers are starting to look more and more like a team that simply won’t live up to expectations. Yesterday, the Packers lost yet another close game to an inferior opponent, this time, 28-27 to the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers should be better than this. Maybe it’s time to accept that [...]
