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 →

The Green Bay Packers have themselves a new defensive coordinator and after reading up on him I think I like the guy. It appears the defense Jeff Hafley runs will be quite the opposite of one Joe Barry. And not … 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 →

The Green Bay Packers face the Tampa Buccaneers in Lambeau Field Sunday and it’s anybody’s guess which Packers’ team shows up. Will it be the mistake prone unit from the first seven weeks of the season and last Monday night? … Continue reading →

Delving into the history behind the Green Bay Packers’ odd name origin and their enduring status as the only publicly owned nonprofit sports franchise. With a name echoing humble beginnings rather than intimidation, the Green Bay Packers have nonetheless cultivated … 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 →

In an impressive display of grit and determination, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Detroit Lions in an exciting Thanksgiving showdown. The Packers stunned the Lions, leading the NFC North, with a final score of 29-22. Green Bay started the … 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 →

In the world of football, the look of a team can be just as crucial as the skills they display on the field. A well-designed uniform isn’t just about colors and logos; it’s a statement of identity, pride, and unity. … 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 →

The Green Bay Packers face the Atlanta Falcons Sunday in a game between two young teams hoping to be in contention for the playoffs this year. Both teams are 1-0 with the Falcons having beaten the Carolina Panthers last week … 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 →

The Bears are not good. The Packers might be. Winning in the NFL is hard, and convincing wins are rare. Although it’s a cliché, a win is a win. Having lived through the 80’s Bears-Packers rivalry, there’s no bad time … Continue reading →

Releasing Pat O’Donnell is one more confirmation. This team is going young. Choosing the young, unproven punter, is picking the promise of youth over the safety of experience. I believe it’s the right choice. After back-to-back seasons of trading their … Continue reading →

It’s nail-biting time for guys on “the bubble.” The 53-man roster limit needs to be reached by this coming Tuesday. It’s not fun when people lose their jobs, or their dreams. But every pro-athlete knows the risks and competition for … Continue reading →

There’s an awful lot of chatter this time of year about things that, ultimately, don’t matter. The third QB, the 6th or 7th WR, the 4th tight end. Yes, these are real position and roster battles, but do they matter? … Continue reading →

The smart fan doesn’t over-value reports from mini-camps and training camp. But you don’t ignore them either. Many times, training camp hype gets hopes so wildly off base that it all seems like fools gold. The best, most concrete news … Continue reading →

Jaire Alexander’s performance against Justin Jefferson last January is one for the ages. Holding the best wide receiver in the league to 1-catch for 15 yards is a career performance. Surrounded by my Viking fan in-laws, I was giddy for … Continue reading →
