Nov 22nd
It only took 10 games, but the Green Bay Packers’ offense on Sunday finally looked like it did in the preseason – dominant. Aaron Rodgers threw for 344 yards and two scores while Ryan Grant added 129 yards rushing and a touchdown of his own as the Packers beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-24, improving [...]
Stopping Davis Key For Packers
Nov 21st
We talked earlier about the San Francisco 49ers being a running team and the potential impact of Frank Gore, but the key to the Green Bay Packers’ chances on Sunday is stopping tight end Vernon Davis.

49ers Reflect Coach Mike Singletary
Nov 21st
The Green Bay Packers opponent this week, the San Francisco 49ers, have become a reflection of both coach Mike Singletary and the team he played for, the Chicago Bears, in the coach’s 13 months on the job.

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 [...]
