Hope over despair
It’s easy to forget how much fun a win can be. Even more fun? The final 2-weeks could be more exciting, and maybe, just maybe, not the final 2-weeks. In recent weeks posters on this site asked other fans “would … Continue reading

I thought for sure it was over. The Packers playoff hopes would die on a shoestring tackle of running back A.J. Dillon. The path to the endzone was wide open, Aaron Rodgers arm was in the air, touchdown and game … Continue reading
The victory over the Chicago Bears in week 13 of the 2022/23 NFL season meant the Green Bay Packers became the winningest franchise in the league. It was the 787th success and it meant they moved ahead from the Bears, who they … Continue reading
To say that this Green Bay Packers season has been a disappointment would be an understatement. Also, to say that it was a surprise would be a lie, considering how poorly they handled things in the off-season. Losing Davante Adams … Continue reading
The 2022/23 season has been a tough one for the Green Bay Packers. They are on course for their worst campaign in the Aaron Rodgers era with the franchise. Although the season is not over yet, head coach Matt LaFleur … Continue reading
It’s that time of year. Players’ aren’t thinking naughty or nice. They’re thinking performance and pay. If I were Elgton Jenkins, I’d have dollars dancing like sugar plums in my head, knowing what soon might be under the tree. Exerting … Continue reading
Aaron Rodgers must be benched. Jordan Love has to play NOW! Joe Barry must be fired, yesterday. The defense needs to be torn down and rebuilt! We should tank for the highest possible draft pick. These and other over-heated takes … Continue reading
Most of us know little or nothing about Kingsley Enagbare, Rudy Ford or Justin Hollins. If all was “right” with the Packers defense– you wouldn’t need to. But those three players showed up and stood out Sunday night. Meanwhile, previous … Continue reading
“When you have a tough decision to make, make it immediately.” -Unknown There’s an order to how this stuff needs to happen. Unfortunately for Joe Barry, his firing needs to happen first. The sooner the better. In a column today, … Continue reading
The Green Bay Packers are one of the oldest teams in the National Football League (NFL) and also one of the most popular and well-supported. In their longstanding history, they’ve been a very competitive team, winning Super Bowls and titles … Continue reading
The old saying goes: “you can’t fix stupid.” Thankfully, stupid isn’t the issue for Packers leadership. It’s their pigheaded, “head-in-the-sand” stubbornness. Along with countless experts and analysts, we could all see needed changes and course corrections Packers leadership could have … Continue reading
Do we want Troy Aikman or Tony Mandarich? That’s what I reflected on as I tried to think about the last time the Packers were in this spot. 1989 was the last time Packer fans contemplated a pick near the … Continue reading
The Green Bay Packers sunk to yet a new level by losing to the worst team in the NFL 15-9 today. The Packers could only score nine points against the worst defense to play in the league in many years. … Continue reading
As of this writing the Packers have made no moves before the Tuesday 3pm trade deadline. It’s a tough call whether they should make such a move. It will be telling whichever way they go. Difference maker needed Certainly, they … Continue reading
“Stress and anxiety come from too much expectation and too much ambition” Dalai Lama The thing about expectation is it can really distort your enjoyment of the game. Yes, during a 3-game losing streak and dreadful season now is as … Continue reading
The Green Bay Packers have lost two straight games and while at 3-3, they are not out of anything. Not even the division title with the Vikings history of choking down the stretch. But they hanging on by a thread. … Continue reading
It’s not so much “that” they’re losing. It’s how they’re losing. The 2022 Green Bay Packers are built to win-now. 3-and-3 should not be a crisis, but strangely, after two ugly losses, it feels like just that. The expectations created … Continue reading
After 5-games, the Green Bay Packers are not a very good football team. The performances, players and coaches, have been inconsistent and not good enough. The defense is predictable, and even worse, passive. The offense is choppy and out of … Continue reading
The larger than life story of Elgton Jenkins versatility is overcooked. It turns out, he’s a guard. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You’ve heard of past Green Bay Packers offensive guards– Jerry Kramer, Gale Gillingham, Mike Wahle, Marco Rivera, … Continue reading
Every once in a while, a fanbase will start to act like an insecure spouse over a certain player on their team. When the over under records are golden, and when there’s an opportunity to win some serious cash, the … Continue reading
We’ve all heard the classic sports cliché’s. It’s a “revenge game.” These teams “don’t like each other.” This is a “trap game.” My personal favorite, “pound-for-pound he’s a great player”– translation: the player is too small but he’s pretty good. … Continue reading
A win, need not be dominating. A win, does not have to be a work of art. All wins are not created equally. The Green Bay Packers win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was as complete and compelling a win … Continue reading
There’s every reason to believe the Packers should beat the Tampa Bay Buc’s on Sunday. But they won’t. Thankfully, I’m not a great prognosticator. Also, I sometimes mentally assume the obvious to lower my disappointment later, to psyche myself out. … Continue reading
There’s no such thing as a “must win” game in September. There just isn’t. Dividing the contenders from the pretenders mostly takes place between Halloween and Christmas in the NFL. Nonetheless, the Packers-Bears game Sunday night is high stakes for … Continue reading
What’s worse than an uninspiring game plan? Being too foolish or stubborn to change course when you see it’s not working. On Sunday in Minneapolis, Coach Matt LaFleur had numerous blinking light alerts that their plans were not getting it … Continue reading
