Bad game or bad sign?
I know it was only one game and this is the reigning MVP. But did we detect some signs of old age in one Aaron Charles Rodgers? It was enough to compel CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora to wonder if … Continue reading
Botched DC hire could spell doom for Packers
The Green Bay Packers came into this season with Super Bowl expectations and anything less would be a failure. The reasoning was they have the reigning MVP and the number one scoring offense in the NFL last year back intact. … Continue reading
What the hell was that?
The Green Bay Packers began the 2021 season today looking like a club that never stepped foot on the practice field the las six weeks. This was an epic beatdown we’ve never seen the likes of in the Aaron Rodgers … Continue reading
Packers will roll in FLA
The Green Bay Packers got their first gift of the season in the form of hurricane Ida. Instead of having to play in the extremely loud Superdome the Packers and Saints will square off in Jacksonville, Florida. I think this … Continue reading
Your 2021 Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers reached the 53 man roster limit today without any major surprises. Maybe a few eyebrow raisers but for the most part it came and went pretty much as expected. One of the real newsmakers was the … Continue reading
Two down, one to go
The Green Bay Packers played a little more inspired football against the New York Jets but still dropped a 23-14 decision. This preseason is definitely different than the NFL norm for the Packers. Against the Jets the Packers didn’t even … Continue reading
Preseason losing it’s luster
The NFL’s preseason is hopefully on its last legs. The football is unwatchable and forcing season ticket holders to buy the tickets should be a criminal offense. The league should just ditch it altogether and just have teams conduct joint … Continue reading
Nothing to write home about
The Green Bay Packers played their first preseason game in two years and boy, did it look like it. There were a few shining moments but for the most part it looked very much like the reason the NFL now … Continue reading
Packers’ defense must be better
It’s not often you see a team part ways with a defensive coordinator who led his unit to a top ten finish in team defense. Yet that is exactly what the Packers did when they decided not to renew the … Continue reading
Packers offense should be really good again
Well, things have certainly calmed down now that Aaron Rodgers is back in fold and dropping dimes in practice once again. It’s pretty much like nothing happened the last four months. The Packers are once again one of the favorites … Continue reading
Packers O-line getting a lot of love
The Green Bay Packers have a young general manager who has learned from two of the best to ever do it, Ron Wolf and Ted Thompson. To me Brian Gutekunst leans a little toward the Wolf style. He’s not afraid … Continue reading
Not a fan of 17 games
The National Football League, in all of it’s infinite wisdom, or should I say greed, is, as we all know, going to a 17-game schedule this year. Now that the season is just around the corner the reality of that … Continue reading
Rodgers-Packers agreement doomed from the start
Sorry folks, Aaron Rodgers is coming back. While that may seem like a good thing, I think it is a broken marriage and continuing to live together is not the answer. Somebody needed to move out and since it’s the … Continue reading
No way out?
The Aaron Rodgers saga continues to dominate the NFL offseason and in the last couple of weeks we actually heard from Rodgers. But with his “I’m the smartest man in the room” attitude we didn’t get any other than “we’ll … Continue reading
Packers set with pass catchers
For the last three years all we hear from the media is the Packers have to get a number two receiver to complement all-world Davante Adams. Not getting Aaron Rodgers help is the common thread. The fact is, the Packers … Continue reading
CBS hitman strikes again
I often wonder what a team official could say to a sports reporter that is so bad it makes such reporter hold a grudge against the team. For years there was speculation as to why former Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reporter Bob … Continue reading
Should the Packers fire Brian Gutekunst?
As the Aaron Rodgers drama rolls on, we still don’t know exactly what it is that Sharon wants. Does he want a new contract? Does he want general manager Brian Gutekunst fired? Does he want Mark Murphy to step down? … Continue reading
Why the Packers do what they do
Much has been said recently in the national media about the Packers lack of an owner and the effect it has on the Aaron Rodgers situation. And once again their views of the Packers could not be further from the … Continue reading
National media clueless about Rodgers, Packers
Another day, another bad take from the national media regarding the Green Bay Packers and their disgruntled quarterback. This time it is Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, who calls the Packers petty for their approach to building a perennial … Continue reading
Like last time, Packers fans will stand by their team
The Green Bay Packers are going through a messy divorce with their MVP quarterback for the second time in 13 years. Like last time, when Brett Favre came out of retirement right before training camp and was eventually traded to … Continue reading
OTA thoughts
The Green Bay Packers are going through offseason organized team activities and normally this would be a low-key time of year. Workouts are optional but most teams have close to 100% participation. Not this year. This is the first time … Continue reading
Green Bay Packers 2021 draft picks: who’s the best?
The Green Bay Packers were closely watched as they made their draft picks this year – and with good reason. All NFL teams were forced to do thing differently this time around: while unlike last year’s draft picking process they … Continue reading
Packers schedule hard to decipher
I have to admit, Eryn Rodgers ruined my Packers’ 2021 Schedule Release Party. The vibe just wasn’t the same with Rodgers being in the throes of a hissy fit and uncertain if he wants to remain part of Packers’ nation. … Continue reading
Looking at the Packers post Aaron Rodgers
The Green Bay Packers stalemate with Aaron Rodgers shows no signs of ending anytime soon, meaning, fro me anyway, it is time to start looking at how things will likely look on opening day. I’m sick of the childish drama … Continue reading
