The Green Bay Packers travel 180 miles down the shores of Lake Michigan Sunday for a 10 AM PST tilt against the only team in NFL history that has been in its home longer. But the two most storied franchises in the league have completely different goals... With a win Sunday, ...Published on: 9th December, 2009
It’s official: with Monday night’s 27-14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Green Bay Packers are sitting in the driver’s seat for the playoffs. The team controls its own destiny—win three of four and there is no mathematical possibility of missing the playoffs; win two of four and there is ...Published on: 7th December, 2009
The 7-4 Green Bay Packers host the 6-5 Baltimore Ravens Monday night, and both teams' seasons may already on the line. There is no doubt this is true for the Ravens—mark my words: there will not be a 9-7 team to make it in either conference. Losing this would mean the ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
Looking at special teams and the defensive side of the ball, the division is much more balanced.

Every course has a midterm grade, and we have reached that point in the season. (Technically, the Packers reached that before the Dallas game. However, with all teams having now had their bye week, Week 10 is the most appropriate time to do any comparison.) Thus, I will be examining the ...Published on: 17th November, 2009
The Green Bay Packers bounced back from their shameful effort (or lack thereof) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an inspired performance against Dallas on Sunday to jump back into the playoff race. This was easily the most impressive game of the year for the Pack, as they played well ...Published on: 15th November, 2009
I originally wrote this article for SportsScribes.net . Here is how each unit ranked last week and how that applies to this Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys: Quarterback: D Aaron Rodgers had easily his worst game of the season, and second worst of his career—at least in last season's game in ...Published on: 8th November, 2009
Last Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings came into Lambeau Field and beat the host Green Bay Packers 38-26. In the process, they made a statement: “We are the better team.” Packers fans made a statement, too, booing their former signal caller when he took the field and, for a while at least, ...
