Packers-Vikings: Minnesota Dominates
Published on: 7th November, 2009
Before assessing what Sunday's 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings actually means to the Green Bay Packers (the subject of my next article—look for it Sunday morning), I want to provide the report card on each unit: Quarterback: B+ Aaron Rodgers had a passer rating over 100 for the fifth consecutive week, ...NFL Game of the Week: Packers-Vikings Rematch
Published on: 1st November, 2009
At 1:15pm PST (that's right—daylight savings is over, and it's time to change your clocks back to real time!), the second-place Green Bay Packers host the division-leading Minnesota Vikings. It is a rematch of the Week Four matchup won by the Vikings, 30-23. And I think I have heard something about ...NFL: Packers-Lions Preview

Green Bay will be visited by the Lions Sunday at 10 a.m. PDT. On the surface, this appears to be an easy victory for the Packers for many reasons: The Lions' last trip to Lambeau was their record-setting 16th loss, ensuring they would become the league's worst-ever team on record. Green Bay ...Green Bay Packers: Ted Thompson Must Be Held To a Higher Standard
Published on: 14th October, 2009
If things do not change, Ted Thompson should be on his way out the door. I don't know about you, but they expect me to perform my job well in order to keep it. We cannot accept lower than that from the GM of the greatest franchise in sports. And no, I ...Packers-Vikings: Assessing and Dissecting the Packers’ Performance
Published on: 11th October, 2009
In my preview of this game, I talked about how the media was focusing on the matchup between The Traitor and The Understudy. Meanwhile, the real matchup was the Packers sorry offensive line and the Vikings elite defensive line. I was half-wrong—both were the story. Aaron Rodgers and The Traitor dueled it ...Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings: The Traitor Awaits!

Pull out all the stops! This game is for the NFC North lead, bragging rights between two rivals, and a memorandum on two quarterbacks. Except the game really means none of those things. No one cares who takes the division lead a quarter of the way into the season. What matters is who ...NFL Week Three Power Poll and Predictions
Published on: 27th September, 2009
First, how I rank all 32 teams: New York Giants—my preseason pick to win the Super Bowl has finally gotten to the top of the power poll, thanks to the losses of the Steelers and Patriots. Atlanta Falcons—their defense looks better than expected so far. Pittsburgh Steelers—despite the one loss, they are the ...NFL: Green Bay Packers-St. Louis Rams Preview
Published on: 27th September, 2009
Aaron Rodgers has spent much of the regular season running for his life. In the two games so far, the left defensive end—the primary responsibility of right tackle Allen Barbre—has recorded seven sacks (three by other linemen). Overall, the team has yielded ten—three fewer than the entire 2007 season when the ...MJ’s NFL Power Poll and Predictions, Week Two
Published on: 20th September, 2009
First, I will start with the power poll. For a view of how these picks changed, see last week's article... Pittsburgh Steelers—the Patriots' close call against a bad team made the Steelers' close call against a good one seem inconsequential. New York Giants—because I do not believe in picking repeats, I am ...NFL: Packers 21, Bears 15

The Tale of Two Games. Well, actually more like three. There was the first half, dominated by the Packers defense. The Packers gave up a safety and forced three Jay Cutler interceptions that led to two easy scores for the offense, ending the half up 10-2. Then there was the first 20 minutes ...Featured Sponsors
