The Packers are a different team when they take an early lead. There’s something about the offense asserting itself that gives the defense and the whole team a swagger. This “momentum grabbing,” cuts both ways. Against Seattle and Miami, the … Continue reading →

The Green Bay Packers aren’t a lock to make the playoffs. But it’s pretty close. If they can finish 3-3 or maybe even 2-4 they should get a wild card. The division is not out of reach, but it looks … Continue reading →

If the Green Bay Packers hope to go on the kind of run they went on last year, the offense needs to take off. Penalties and drops were better against the Bears, but the red-zone offense is still too inefficient. … Continue reading →

It was a game of strange contrasts. Jared Goff threw for 145 yards, while Jordan Love had 273. The vaunted Detroit running game had 138-yards, roughly equal to the Green Bay ground game. The Packers defense gave up only 17-points … Continue reading →

Contrast the play back-up Packers RB Chris Brooks made late in the Jacksonville game, with Tyrique Stevenson’s play at the end of the Chicago-Washington game. They’re two huge plays that impacted the outcome. One is full of smarts and poise … Continue reading →

Young talent is bubbling up all over the Green Bay Packers roster. Rookie defenders Edgerrin Cooper, Evan Williams and Javon Bullard are playing meaningful snaps and making weekly impacts. Similarly, on offense, rookie Jordan Morgan is good enough to be … Continue reading →

So, the Packers’ place-kicking problem is real. Similarly concerning, are big name, well paid, pass rushers were invisible Sunday. Beating a good team on a roll with so many drops on offense and defense combined with penalties and rusty-sloppy QB … Continue reading →

It appears we have a talented, young, competent back-up quarterback. That’s great news. It’s possible that an even bigger development came from the surprising two-game win streak. Coach Matt La Fleur can call, and his offensive line and running backs … Continue reading →

I hated the play calling at the end of first half. As a fan, I’m greedy when things appear to be going well. Thankfully, Matt La Fleur oversaw the game plan and not me or other fans. Masterpiece There’s no … Continue reading →

Now, they need to be perfect. No, not literally perfect. The Green Bay Packers margin for error evaporated with Jordan Love’s injury, so the rest of the team has a big talent gap to fill. The Packers can’t leave 15+ … Continue reading →

We can sweat the details of roster cuts and practice squad juggling. Something we’re not talking about this week is our starting tackles. Two of the lowest profile, highest impact moves, that affect the Packers chances are the draft selections … Continue reading →

I thought this would be done by now. The experts and beat reporters seemed to think it would be done by now. With each additional day, Jordan Love not practicing becomes a smidge more distracting. Understandable If I were Jordan … Continue reading →

In the darkness of the offseason, with training camp almost a month away, let’s take a nightmare walk down memory lane. This is my take on the Packers worst 1st round draft picks since 1980. It’s good fodder for debate, … Continue reading →

This article does not contain a mock draft. Sorry. I know you’re disappointed and clicking away for some other PFF crack cocaine clickbait. Instead, how about a random patchwork of observations and vaguely informed opinions about guys I like, and … Continue reading →

Here’s a fun parlor game for packer fans to play. Who’s our #1 receiver? The answer?…. whomever Jordan Love throws to on that play. Ok, it’s probably more complicated than that, but the point is the Packers appear to be … Continue reading →

There’s a difference between insubordination and incompetence. The outcomes may feel the same, but it’s about intent. Jaire Alexander’s Sunday antics at the coin toss are clearly insubordination. His intent appears to be selfish, and bad for his team. Joe … Continue reading →

There were three key questions coming into the 2023 Packers season. Can Jordan Love be the quarterback of the future? Does Matt LaFleur have the offensive creativity to thrive without Aaron Rodgers? Can Joe Barry lead a winning defense? Heading … Continue reading →

Flowers for Frenchie Jordan Love outdueled Patrick Mahomes. Matt LaFleur outcoached Andy Reid. Yes, that happened. To have imagined such an outcome a month ago you’d have laughed out loud. Many of us were turning our attention to how high … Continue reading →

I admit it. Less than 4-weeks ago, I thought both Matt Lafleur and Jordan Love were on thin ice. Me and many of my impatient Packer fan brethren and sistren were giving up. We were doing mock drafts in October! … Continue reading →

“When you come to a fork in the road, take it!”—Yogi Berra The Packers are a mess right now. Anyone watching games against Las Vegas or Denver can see that. Honestly, there’s about a dozen possible “fixes”, but too many … Continue reading →

We know this Packer team is not contending for a Super Bowl. We’ve known this for nearly a year, through the big trade this spring and were reminded again Monday night. Sure, they could get hot and compete for a … Continue reading →

The Packers aren’t as good as we thought they were. The Lions, are better than we thought they were. Two things can be true, and it’s likely both of those assumptions were debunked Thursday night at Lambeau. Not contenders Smart … Continue reading →

Is “character building” a thing? Do we just grow, develop confidence, courage and even a little swagger no matter we’re succeeding or failing? Maybe it’s best to leave deep questions like that to Socrates or Colin Cowherd. If it is, … Continue reading →

This one felt like a real squandered opportunity. And yet, I wasn’t as frustrated as I’ve been after other close defeats. The youth of this team, and key injuries against Atlanta, are reframing my expectations. The bad Two dropped first-half … Continue reading →

I like when my team does smart things. Two trends led the Packers to trade Aaron Rodgers. His age trend, like all ages, only goes up. His performance trend, like that of all athletes, goes down proportionately with that aging. … Continue reading →
