Any number of sad stories can be told in the wake of the 49ers’ thrashing of the Packers, but I’ll start with one that fits a very broad perspective. Put bluntly but honestly: the days ...
While a 9-1 record is nothing to sneeze at, there is still a debate over just how good Green Bay’s next opponent is. The primary reason is the favorable schedule the Niners have enjoyed up ...
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will be in the cross-hairs for Green Bay’s final half-dozen regular-season games. A team that ranks 28th in yardage surrendered has no business being in the NFL playoffs. If Pettine can ...
The bye week break gives us an opportunity to look back and look forward, to analyze and contemplate, to fix what’s broken, and exploit what’s working. The two-week break between games of course gives the ...
Every party has its pooper. I submit to you that the Packers are trending downward. This shouldn’t be happening, but instead of the rookie head coach picking up steam, maximizing his players’ talents, and learning ...
Since the arrival of Aaron Jones in Green Bay, now over two and a half years ago, I’ve posted endless pleas that his talents be put to full use. Upon the firing of Coach Mike ...
