Packers vs. Titans Game Notes
Nov 4th
This was one of the Green Bay Packers’ more disappointing losses of the year, in part because the Packers actually played well for most of the game. The lines held their own on both sides of the ball against the normally dominant Tennessee Titans’ lines. In the end, the Packers were overwhelmed when it counted most. When [...]
On To More Important Things, Like the Tennessee Titans
Oct 27th
Enough with the Brett Favre bullshit. I am exhausted and I’m letting it go. Let’s talk about more important things, like next week’s Green Bay Packers’ opponent, the Tennessee Titans, who face the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football. The Titans are 6-0 going into a home game against a pretty average (and one the [...]
I Am The Walrus, And I Am Pissed!
Oct 9th
I’ve always thought Mike Holmgren has somewhat resembled a walrus. I think it’s the big, bushy mustache and the chubby face, but I digress. Holmgren, or The Walrus – whichever you prefer, is pissed. It seems he laid into his Seattle Seahawks team on Wednesday, telling them exactly what he thought about them, in what [...]
Green Bay Packers – Not Even Average
Oct 7th
There are sure signs of bad NFL football teams – things that they all have, for the most part, in common. These teams make stupid mistakes, including committing a inordinate amount of penalties. They are not disciplined. Defensively, they are bad – typically against the run, which allows their opponents to get into a comfort [...]
Packers vs. Bucanneers Quick Hits
Sep 29th
I’m not ready to jump onto the “Fire Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy” bandwagon just yet, but man, oh man are the Green Bay Packers in trouble. Yesterday’s 30-21 loss was not nearly as close as the final score indicated. Here are some quick observations on what went wrong (a lot) and what went right [...]
Packers vs. Lions Quick Hits
Sep 16th
As much as I hate to be a wet blanket, Green Bay Packers’ fans should not start chanting “Su-per-Bowl” just yet. Even though Aaron Rodgers continues to impress and the Packers came up with big play after big play, there is plenty of room to improve. The final score, as they say, doesn’t indicate how [...]
Packers, Vikings Game Quick Hits
Sep 9th
It was a wild opening weekend in the NFL and the much anticipated matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers did not disappoint, although it went differently than most of the media predicted. Behind the arm of Aaron Rodgers and the legs of Ryan Grant and Will Blackmon, the Packers prevailed, 24-19. Evil [...]
Jarrett Bush – You’re Cut!
Aug 18th
From the “I Got 99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One” file came this past Saturday night’s preseason loss (34-6) to the disgustingly bad (5-11, last year) San Francisco 49ers. First, having witnessed this debacle first hand, I have to say, Jarrett Bush – you’re cut! It seemed each time I looked up from my [...]
Brett Favre Nightmare Scenario About to Come True?
Aug 5th
In what has become a regular theme over the past month, we are again getting jerked around by one of the following: the media, the Green Bay Packers brass, or the Brett Favre camp. As the media falls all over themselves to report on the latest development in the Brett Favre comeback story (read: Florio, [...]
No One Wants Brett
Jul 29th
No one wants Brett Favre. Well, except for the scumbag, tampering Minnesota Vikings and probably Jon Gruden. Brett filed his reinstatement papers today, which will essentially force the beloved Green and Gold’s hand one way or another. Meddler and NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, meanwhile, said he wouldn’t act for 24 hours in hopes that the [...]
Trade Brett Favre and Pay Ryan Grant
Jul 28th
Ted Thompson – I’ve had your back from day one. I watched with glee as you zanily traded back again and again in every draft, nodded my head in approval when you frugally passed over high-priced free agents, but now you, Mike McCarthy, and Mark Murphy have a big sloppy mess on your hands. Two, [...]

The 2008 NFL Draft approaches and I have some thoughts and predictions that I’d like to share. Before I get to that however, I should get the whole welcome-to-our-blog-we-hope you-enjoy-it thing out of the way. So here goes. Welcome to Total Packers. We hope you enjoy our commentary this season and we hope that you [...]
