After destroying the still in contention Oakland Raiders yesterday the Packers will huge favorites to beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs, who fired their head coach today. If that does indeed happen the Packers will have only one thing to play for the rest of the regular season – 16-0. How much is that worth [...]
A dilemma coming
December 12th, 2011Packers to make it 19 straight
December 11th, 2011I don’t think it will be easy, but the Packers will improve to 13-0 on the season. The Raiders have just the weapon to slow the Packers’ offense – a good running game. My thinking is the Raiders will limit the Packers number of possessions, but as usual the Packers will take advantage of the ones [...]
Neal Not The Fix For Poor Defense
December 7th, 2011By Kevin in Minneapolis, MN Like many, I was really geared up for the return of Mike Neal, expecting for him to come out like James Starks of 2010 and make an immediate impact and improve the team in a big way. It is not happening. While it is far too early to write him [...]
Another way to win
December 5th, 2011The Green Bay Packers faced their stiffest test of the season yesterday and still found a way to win. This time it took a 5-play 68-yard drive in the final 58 seconds to set up Mason Crosby’s game winning field goal. The drive was an absolute thing of beauty. In a season full of amazing [...]
Packers-Giants Game Blog
December 4th, 20113:18 PM: Wow! Haven’t even started my blog and the Giants lead. My prediction was 27-24 on a late Crosby field goal. Might have to update that to 37-34. We’ll see how the offense does. 3:27 PM: Guys wide open everywhere and Rodgers throws it away? How can he be rattled already? Off to a [...]
Packers still focused
November 25th, 2011If the Packers 27-15 beat down of the Lions showed anything, it showed that when the Packers are in a big game, they play like it. For a week twelve regular season game, the stakes couldn’t have been much higher. The brash Lions playing for respect and to get back in the division race against [...]
Packers-Lions Game Blog
November 24th, 201111:37 AM: Lions get the ball first. Tramon Williams had one in his hand and dropped. Shoot! 11:39 AM: Lions are definitely fired up. Just have to withstand these early punches and do what we do. 11:42 AM: Good start for the defense. 11:48 AM: Good start for the offense too until Finley drops a [...]
Why am I nervous?
November 23rd, 2011The Green Bay Packers are 10-0. They own a three game lead in their division. They are easily the best team in the NFL. So why am I so nervous about tomorrow’s game? I think first of all the stigma of losing to the Lions still lingers even though they are 7-3 and not the [...]
Have the Packers peaked?
November 21st, 2011The Green Bay Packers are 10-0 and are almost assured of making the playoffs, but coming off less than stellar performances two of the last three weeks one has to wonder if they maybe peaked a little too early this year. The Packers now face a tough two-game road trip that will surely shed more [...]
Packers-Bucs Game Blog
November 20th, 2011Minutes away from kickoff. I’m sorry for being worried about these guys. They have their backs against the wall and nothing to lose. If the Packers lose it could be the start of three straight losses with trips to Detroit and New York following. Big game. If we take them seriously. Should be OK. 12:07 [...]
