Peyton disMANNtlING
The famous NFL cliché “we can beat anybody” didn't quite do Sunday's matchup between the Packers and Colts justice. Maybe it should be reworked to something along the lines of “we can destroy/dismantle/demoralize anybody," which is exactly how the Packers must be feelin ... |
Packers-Colts: Why the Colts are tougher and why it matters
The battle-tested Colts come into Lambeau field on Sunday with a win in mind. Both the Colts (3-2) and Packers (3-3) are equally banged up and hungry. Will the Pack lose a third straight home game? Probably.
Before destroying the Ravens last weekend, the Colts had thre ... |
No green and gold for Gonzalez
As the trade deadline quietly passed this past Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs were unable to finalize a deal that would have sent future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez to the frozen tundra. After missing an opportunity in 2006 to trade ... |
Green Bay Suckers and Milwaukee Lewsers
As the pleasant Wisconsin fall gives way to what’s soon to be the bitter cold (sorry, guys, it’s the truth), the chills came unseasonably early this year. In a woeful weekend for Wisconsin sports that saw both the Milwaukee Brewers get knocked out of the National League ... |
What happened to the tight end in Green Bay?
Tight ends are often referred to as a young quarterback's best friend. The way the last two weeks have gone in Green Bay, it seems Aaron Rodgers could use one of those right about now.
Through four games, Packers TE Donald Lee is averaging about two catches and 20 yard ... |
Packers on verge of mediocrity
The Bears, Falcons, Cardinals, 49ers and Jets were somewhere between the NFL’s worst and mediocre during the 2007 season. All of those teams are 2-2 this year, which is bad news for fellow .500 club member Green Bay. Why? Because the Packers won 13 games last year and a ... |
Packers stopped T.O., but it wasn’t enough
The Cowboys emerged from Lambeau Field last Sunday night with a convincing, 27-16 win over a Green Bay team that was looking to officially establish itself in the Aaron Rodgers era. Dallas was victorious despite Terrell Owens' less-than-gaudy, two-catch, 17-yard perform ... |
Packers need Rodgers to shine
Not that anyone should be panicking after a disappointing loss to the undefeated Dallas Cowboys, but the Green Bay Packers seem to lack the spark that led to 13 wins and an NFC North title in 2007.
Commentary: With the Green Bay defensive secondary banged up early and ... |
Thompson and McCarthy still on the hook
The Packers looked sharp in their 45-28 blowout win in Detroit last weekend, although the game was much closer than the final score indicated. It wasn’t until Green Bay's defense returned back-to-back interceptions for touchdowns in the fourth quarter that the Pack se ... |
The best team in the NFC
The 2-0 Packers face the 2-0 Cowboys for early season bragging rights this Sunday.
Commentary: It’s hard to find any sports talk show that doesn’t mention allegedly Super Bowl-bound Dallas, which has been led by superb play from quarterback Tony Romo and wide recei ... |
Expect Packers’ Grant to gradually return to form
Not to drop a big fat pumpkin on last year's Cinderella running back, but don’t look for the Packers' Ryan Grant to explode for another couple weeks. Grant amassed 92 yards on 12 carries in Green Bay’s Monday night win over the Vikings, but backup Brandon Jackson wa ... |
Key to Green Bay’s success: Let Rodgers loose
Monday, the Packers -- led by new quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- beat the NFC North rival Vikings in the teams' season opener; so, everything is cool in Green Bay, right? Well, not quite.
Commentary: The Packers clearly outmatched the Vikings on both sides of the ball a ... |
Flynn-tastic
The Packers have to trim their roster from 75 to 53 players by this Saturday. With noteworthy position battles going on all over the field, one has stood out more prominently than others. That, of course, is the fight for the No. 2 quarterback position. So far, highly t ... |
Sunny in New York, cold in Green Bay
If you’re following the Green Bay quarterback soap opera as closely as many fans, you're already aware that Brett Favre looked sharp in his Jets debut last weekend, completing 5-of-6 passes for 48 yards and a touchdown during their preseason loss to Washington. You al ... |
Fantasy: Rodgers has enough around him to succeed
In case you haven’t noticed, Brett Favre isn’t in Green Bay anymore.
But did the outstanding fantasy production of the Packers last season go with him to New York?
Favre’s fantastic 2007 season saw the Packers finish second in the NFL in total offense (370 yar ... |
Look For Packers to top NFC North
It’s been an emotional few weeks for Packers fans, but take a deep breath and tell yourself it’s going to be OK.
After the first few series of Green Bay's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, it was clear that the Packers will still be a force ... |
Seven things I hate about you
Even with the unretirement of Brett Favre, there's an outside chance Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will take the first snap of the regular season on Sept. 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. Although feelings about a new signal-caller taking over starting dut ... |
Granting your own wish
To say the least, Green Bay Packers running backs have been getting the job done over the last decade, with the likes of Edgar Bennett, Dorsey Levens and Ahman Green doing what it took to keep the offense going. In essence, they were West Coast “system” backs who s ... |
Fan Pulse: Favre best player in NFC North history
Maybe retired quarterback Brett Favre found out he was the best player in the history of the NFC North before deciding he wanted to come back.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Packers gunslinger ranks the highest of any other player in the Black and Blue divis ... |
The untouchable
As a former NFL player and Wisconsin native, I’ve heard my fair share of Brett Favre stories from players, fans, family and friends. I have an uncle who believes he once drove by Favre on a local Green Bay road, which has been his go-to story for the last 10 years.
