By Rick: Since the loss to the Giants many Packer fans have turned the page and are looking at Free Agency and the Draft. We know that TT is not much of a Free Agent guy (though if Jenkins is cut by the Eagles he may be a cheap FA to get) but the draft [...]
Looking to the NFL Draft
January 23rd, 2012Defense may take years to rebuild
January 16th, 2012I guess if there is one thing the Packers can take from yesterday’s loss to the New York is that the Giants are an example of what the Packers hope to do now that they are no longer champions. The Giants won the Super Bowl after the 2007 season then fell off the map. They [...]
Might be a long climb back
January 15th, 2012I won’t be over this loss for a long time. It was clearly the worst the team has played since Mike McCarthy became coach. Dom Capers should be relieved of his duties tomorrow and Ted Thompson needs to make it clear to McCarthy that this can’t happen again. McCarthy is the one preaching accountability all [...]
Packers not done yet
January 15th, 2012The Green Bay Packers completed the regular season 15-1 and today face a New York Giants team that went 9-7 and beat the Atlanta Falcons in New York last week. So why exactly is everybody picking the Giants to roll today? I don’t get it. This morning on ESPN’s The John Kincade Show they said “this [...]
Giants back for more
January 10th, 2012If football games are won during the week, the Packers have already lost. The big, bad, New York Giants are the best team in the NFL. Just ask them. Jason Pierre-Paul led the charge Antrel Rolle followed suit. Too bad we have to waste time play the game. One thing we can do is stop wasting time [...]
Packers shock the world
January 1st, 2012Well, maybe they didn’t shock the world, but it was a shock to to me anyway. How can the Packers’ “B” team rip up the full throttle Detroit Lions 45-41 today? This has to be the four-letter network’s ultimate “Come on man!”. Six touchdown passes by Flynn? Really? To say I’m shocked would be an [...]
Why take the chance?
December 28th, 2011The Packers are 14-1 for the season and now I am 12-3 in my predictions for their games. I was glad to be wrong twice, not so on the third. The Packers destroyed the Bears 35-21 in another game that fit the Packers mode of operation this year – bend but don’t break defense and [...]
Packers might struggle again
December 25th, 2011I hate to say it but I have a bad feeling about tonight’s game against the Bears. The Packers are riddled with injuries to their offensive line and had their confidence shaken to the core last week in Kansas City. So often you see a long winning streak end with a losing streak. The Bears [...]
Back to the task at hand
December 19th, 2011Now that the Green Bay Packers kissed their perfect season goodbye they can get back to focusing on the real task, Super Bowl 46. ESPN can take down the ticker and half the media trucks parked at Lambeau will soon be leaving. No more questions about perfection, no more questions about who will or won’t [...]
Packers-Chiefs Game Blog
December 18th, 2011The Packers put their undefeated record on the line in about three hours against a terrible Kansas City Chiefs team that should be out of the game by halftime. But that is only on paper. I think Mike McCarthy will have to do dome of his best coaching today to keep the Packers focused on [...]
