Another Potential Landing Spot For Barnett: Tampa Bay
Jul 13th
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a hole at middle linebacker once the lockout ends. Might they want to fill it with Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett?
Remember Aaron Rodgers’ Draft Day?
Apr 25th
By now, you know the story of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ experience at the NFL Draft. Rodgers was under consideration for the No. 1 overall pick. The San Francisco 49ers ended up choosing Utah quarterback Alex Smith. Jon Gruden and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers passed on Rodgers several picks later.
Packers Could Face Bears Twice In A Row
Dec 27th
The Green Bay Packers closed last season in Phoenix with a game against the Arizona Cardinals. They went back to Arizona the following week for the wild card game. The same scenario could play out again this year, only with the NFC North champion Chicago Bears taking the place of the Cardinals. The Packers face [...]
Here’s The Packers’ Full Playoff Picture
Dec 22nd
If the Green Bay Packers win their final two games, they’re in the playoffs as a wild card, this we know. However, there’s another, much-more-convoluted scenario where the Packers could still make it. First, the Packers need to beat the New York Giants, this week. If they lose to the Giants, it doesn’t matter what [...]
Win And We’re In
Dec 20th
It’s just that simple for the Green Bay Packers. Despite the loss to the New England Patriots dropping them to 8-6, the Packers simply need to win their last two games to make the playoffs as a wild card. The Chicago Bears will clinch the NFC North with a win tonight against the Joe Webb-led [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 that the [...]
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 [...]
Bears Trade for DE Gaines Adams
Oct 17th
The Chicago Bears drew first blood against the Green Bay Packers in the trade market Friday, trading for Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Gaines Adams. Adams was the fourth overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Clemson, but he has been an underachiever for the Bucs. The Bears sent a 2010 second-round pick [...]
Packers Are About to Get Healthy
Oct 12th
I’m not talking about the injuries that have plagued the Green Bay Packers thus far, although the return of safety Atari Bigby and left tackle Chad Clifton to the staring lineup can only help, I’m talking about the schedule. The Packers are about to go into what is shaping up as the easiest portion of [...]
