As with many seasons, injuries to key players are having a great influence on the outcome of games. The Packers have already been hit with injuries hard and often. While they have weathered the storm ...
It’s pretty well accepted that the biggest reason for the Packers falling to the Bucs in the NFC Championship game was a failing at cornerback. While Jaire Alexander was playing shutdown style on one side ...
If you read my post detailing how badly forecasters underestimated the Packers going into this season, you saw that there was a preseason perception the team had failed to improve upon the 2019 roster. The ...
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 Packers rarely have a bad season and with Aaron Rodgers remaining one of the sport’s premier quarterbacks, it is unlikely they will drop off any time soon. A 4-1 start to the new season has ...
As is tradition so far this 2019 season, it was a somewhat ugly win towards the end but a win all the same. The Packers were up 17-0 going into the half with Cowboys fans ...
Despite last week’s loss to the Eagles at home, the Packers are off to a 3-1 start — placing them first in the NFC North. Even though they have given up a lot of yards ...
Minnesota’s third-year running back is off to a fine start this season. In its impressive win over the Falcons last weekend, Minnesota dialed up an extremely run-heavy offensive strategy: 38 running plays produced 172 yards, ...
With all the undrafted defensive backs passing through the Lambeau Field gates in the waning Ted Thompson days, I pretty much stopped paying attention to who they were. It was just a blur: Hawkins, Dorleant, ...
Thursday evening’s win over the Bears was uplifting. It was both a team effort and an encouraging sign that there’s ability and potential in this assemblage of personnel. The snap counts are in, and in ...
The hard work for Coach LaFleur has just begun, while the general manager’s work is mostly done. It’s an appropriate time to take a calm and unbiased look at how Brian Gutekunst has done in ...
Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears’ quarterback taken second overall in the 2017 draft, should reveal his career potential this season. Though his passer rating shot up from 77.5 to 94.5 last year, you don’t hear many ...
The job of football forecasters is getting harder and harder. As teams continue to sit their stars, their veterans, their new acquisitions, and even their high-draft rookies, regular-season predictions are becoming little more than a ...
We won’t be seeing Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, David Bakhtiari or Jaire Alexander, getting meaningful play in preseason games – this year or in the future. It’s never been a question of right or wrong, ...
A lot is riding on the 2019 season for the Green Bay Packers. After two dreadful years due to injury and discord, the Packers need to get it together and show that they can be ...
When the Packers drafted Jaire Alexander with the 18th pick in the 2018 Draft, they were taking a chance on an extremely talented player who was hindered in 2017 due to injuries. In three seasons ...
Even if the Packers’ passing prowess continues on its slow but steady descent, my prior post (Packers Are Undergoing a Seismic Adjustment Period, 4/29) theorized that a new focus on the run game could still ...
It wasn’t so long ago, at least not for this septuagenarian, that the term “edge rusher” didn’t even exist in football parlance. We had nose tackles, defensive tackles, and defensive ends. All had “sacking the ...
Every NFL coach recites it like it was proclaimed in the bible. Each NFL player is taught this answer in case some interviewer brings up the question. Don’t believe it for a second. “Injuries are ...
