Aaron Rodgers must be benched. Jordan Love has to play NOW! Joe Barry must be fired, yesterday. The defense needs to be torn down and rebuilt! We should tank for the highest possible draft pick. These and other over-heated takes … Continue reading →

Most of us know little or nothing about Kingsley Enagbare, Rudy Ford or Justin Hollins. If all was “right” with the Packers defense– you wouldn’t need to. But those three players showed up and stood out Sunday night. Meanwhile, previous … Continue reading →

“When you have a tough decision to make, make it immediately.” -Unknown There’s an order to how this stuff needs to happen. Unfortunately for Joe Barry, his firing needs to happen first. The sooner the better. In a column today, … Continue reading →

The old saying goes: “you can’t fix stupid.”  Thankfully, stupid isn’t the issue for Packers leadership. It’s their pigheaded, “head-in-the-sand” stubbornness.  Along with countless experts and analysts, we could all see needed changes and course corrections Packers leadership could have … Continue reading →

Do we want Troy Aikman or Tony Mandarich? That’s what I reflected on as I tried to think about the last time the Packers were in this spot. 1989 was the last time Packer fans contemplated a pick near the … Continue reading →

As of this writing the Packers have made no moves before the Tuesday 3pm trade deadline. It’s a tough call whether they should make such a move. It will be telling whichever way they go. Difference maker needed Certainly, they … Continue reading →

“Stress and anxiety come from too much expectation and too much ambition” Dalai Lama  The thing about expectation is it can really distort your enjoyment of the game. Yes, during a 3-game losing streak and dreadful season now is as … Continue reading →

It’s not so much “that” they’re losing. It’s how they’re losing. The 2022 Green Bay Packers are built to win-now. 3-and-3 should not be a crisis, but strangely, after two ugly losses, it feels like just that. The expectations created … Continue reading →

After 5-games, the Green Bay Packers are not a very good football team. The performances, players and coaches, have been inconsistent and not good enough. The defense is predictable, and even worse, passive. The offense is choppy and out of … Continue reading →

The larger than life story of Elgton Jenkins versatility is overcooked. It turns out, he’s a guard. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You’ve heard of past Green Bay Packers offensive guards– Jerry Kramer, Gale Gillingham, Mike Wahle, Marco Rivera, … Continue reading →

We’ve all heard the classic sports cliché’s. It’s a “revenge game.” These teams “don’t like each other.” This is a “trap game.” My personal favorite, “pound-for-pound he’s a great player”– translation: the player is too small but he’s pretty good. … Continue reading →

A win, need not be dominating. A win, does not have to be a work of art. All wins are not created equally. The Green Bay Packers win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was as complete and compelling a win … Continue reading →

There’s every reason to believe the Packers should beat the Tampa Bay Buc’s on Sunday. But they won’t. Thankfully, I’m not a great prognosticator. Also, I sometimes mentally assume the obvious to lower my disappointment later, to psyche myself out. … Continue reading →

There’s no such thing as a “must win” game in September. There just isn’t. Dividing the contenders from the pretenders mostly takes place between Halloween and Christmas in the NFL. Nonetheless, the Packers-Bears game Sunday night is high stakes for … Continue reading →

What’s worse than an uninspiring game plan? Being too foolish or stubborn to change course when you see it’s not working. On Sunday in Minneapolis, Coach Matt LaFleur had numerous blinking light alerts that their plans were not getting it … Continue reading →

I consider myself a seasoned, knowledgeable NFL fan. Although far from being an expert, I pretty much “get” offensive and defensive strategy. When it comes to Special Teams, they may as well be speaking Portuguese, because I’m clueless. Sure, I … Continue reading →

I’m  old enough to remember none of the 1960’s glory years. My first Packer memories are of the 1971-72 seasons. Weird scenes and fuzzy recollections of Bart Starr coming to the sideline holding his throwing arm; a nearly spent Ray … Continue reading →

It’s a right of late summer to make your best guess about the final roster. The thing is, more critical decisions are bound to happen later. Late moon Rison Does anyone remember Howard Green or Andre Rison? Neither man spent … Continue reading →

The average NFL career lasts just 3.3 years. That, according to the league players association.  So, the great majority of players never even sign a second contract. For those lucky enough to earn that payday they can make in 2-3 … Continue reading →

No matter if he is a franchise player, an average starter or a complete bust, picking Jordan Love in the 1st round was not a wasted pick. Period. End of Story. The exhausting chatter from NFL talking heads and some … Continue reading →
