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 day, agreeing [...]
Packers Are 12/1 To Win 2011 Super Bowl
Feb 9th
Since this year’s football season and Super Bowl are over, we may as well turn our attention to next season.
On Monday, Vegas got in on the act by releasing their opening lines for teams to win Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers opened at 12/1, giving them the sixth best chance to win next [...]
It’s Not Just Mason Crosby – All NFL Kickers Suck
Dec 24th
We certainly take our share of shots at Green Bay Pacekers’ kicker Mason Crosby around here, but the New York Times did an interesting analysis that shows the NFL’s kickers as a whole pretty much suck.
Last season, kickers made 84.5 percent of their field goals – an all-time high. So far this season, that number [...]
Five Reasons To Be Excited About the Green Bay Packers
Nov 29th
Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs.
That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team that’s [...]
Five Reasons Not To Be Excited About the Green Bay Packers
Nov 28th
The Green Bay Packers have won three straight games after an embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers almost derailed their season. The Packers sit at 7-4, in prime position for a wild card berth. There are a lot of things to like about the team, right now.
But we’re pessimists and therefore, we can’t quite [...]
A Tale of Two Teams
Nov 13th
First, there were the two losses to the hated division rival and the former face of the franchise, Brett Lorenzo Favre. Then, there was the demoralizing loss to the only winless team in the league, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Most recently, there was the “come-to-Jesus” offensive meeting during which several players “really had it out” [...]
The Few Packers Fans Who Give Us All A Bad Name
Nov 12th
Last Sunday was a bad day to be a fan of the Green Bay Packers.
In addition to losing to the then-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there was some truly questionable judgment exhibited off the field by Packers fans.
I’m not talking about verbal abuse, public intoxication or the physical altercations that often result. For better or worse, [...]
Can Aaron Rodgers Bounce Back for the Packers?
Nov 11th
A big question heading into the second half of the Green Bay Packers’ season is second year starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers and whether he can help reverse the team’s fortunes and make the Packers – now in second place in the NFC North at 4-4 – a playoff contender again.
Rodgers is having a great season [...]
Packers Offensive Line – Take Six
Nov 10th
It’s no newsflash that the Green Bay Packers haven’t been able to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers this season, even though you’ll be reading some form of the same story in all of Wisconsin’s local papers this week. Possibly the worst part about the Packers infuriating offensive line, or lack there of, is that they will [...]
It’s Time For McCarthy To Go
Nov 9th
I’ve never been a fan of Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy. Never liked his attitude, his disposition on the sidelines or his play calling.
But after coaching the Green Bay Packers to a 13-3 record and an NFC championship berth in 2007, I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt. Many times. The following season, [...]
Packers Season Goes Into Toilet With Loss to Bucs
Nov 8th
It’s hard to imagine anyone saw this coming, except for Steffen, who predicted the exact result this morning. The Green Bay Packers have done what was almost unthinkable in losing to the previously-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-28.
The story is the same that it’s been the entire season for the Packers – poor offensive line play, [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Buccaneers
Nov 8th
Steffen: Last week’s loss against the Minnesota Vikings hurt. Honestly, it hurt as much as any loss I can remember. I’d rank it up there with the Super Bowl loss to the Broncos, 2008’s NFC championship game and the 4th and 26th game against the Eagles in 2004. Still hurts. What made it worse is [...]
Packers In For a Field Day Against Buccaneers
Nov 4th
Now that I think we’ve sufficiently covered the stench of the Green Bay Packers 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, it’s time to turn our attention to this weekend’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Like the Packers pre-Favre opponent, the Cleveland Browns, the Buccaneers are bad. In fact, they’re the only winless team left in the [...]
Simms to the Bears?
Feb 18th
![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_b.png?x-id=3db7b3e0-daf7-468c-8ea3-3dc4aa725f66)
The free agency rumor mill has started spinning and while most of the speculation will revolve around guys like Albert Haynesworth and Julius Peppers, an interesting item came out of Chicago today.
While he will never be confused with his father, Phil, it appears that the Chicago Bears are interested in quarterback Chris Simms, and that [...]
Tampa Game: Quick Hits
Sep 29th
I’m not ready to jump onto the “Fire Thompson & McCarthy” bandwagon just yet (more on that below) but man, oh man are we in trouble. Yesterday’s game 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 (not much.)
Ryan [...]
No One Wants Brett
Jul 29th
Well, except for the scumbag, tampering Viqueens 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 team and Brett could come to an [...]
