Forget Larry Fitzgerald against Charles Woodson. Ok, don’t forget it. It’s probably the sexiest player-player match-up in the first round of the playoffs, but it won’t decide the game Sunday when the Cardinals play the Packers in Glendale. Listen to the call of an NFL football long enough and you’ll inevitably ...Published on: 25th December, 2009
The slobbering over Aaron Rodgers has almost so incessant and pervasive in the sports media, you'd think it was Tony Kornheiser watching Brett Favre. Except of course Aaron isn't "Just having fun out there." The key difference between No. 4 and No. 12: Rodgers hasn't built up nearly two decades worth ...Published on: 11th December, 2009
No use burying the lead: Charles Woodson is the Defensive Player of the Year right now. Six weeks ago it was probably Jared Allen, and 10 weeks ago it was probably Darren Sharper. You could make a case for Elvis Dumervil, James Harrison, and Dwight Freeney over the course of the ...Published on: 9th December, 2009
A man people in Green Bay might recognize coined a phrase about winning, something about it being the only thing that really matters. The last four weeks have not been pretty, but they’ve been successful. You have to win football games and that’s all you have to do. This just in: the Packers ...Published on: 4th December, 2009
The last meaningful game the Packers played in December did not go well. Hellacious winds scoured Soldier Field, Brett Favre threw a pair of picks and the Chicago Bears beat the Packers 35-7. The next week, the Packers, having sewn up the two seed, pummeled the Lions with mostly back-ups and ...Published on: 25th November, 2009
Losing a Pro Bowl player at any position is going to have an impact on your squad. Lose two, and you could be in serious trouble. Not so if you're the Green Bay Packers. Al Harris and Aaron Kampman are elite players, and neither will suit up for ...Published on: 21st November, 2009
I came to the Bleacher Report community to write about the NFL Draft. I sort of fell into this Packers gig by accident (although it’s a blast and I love it). Unfortunately, in the last couple months I have failed to come up with any substantive draft coverage. I figured ...Published on: 14th November, 2009
When Aaron Kampman heard the Packers were switching to the 3-4 defense, he kept his mouth shut about his frustrations. As we all know, that was as good as saying, “I’m not on board.” Through eight games in 2009 it isn’t hard to see why. Kampman has just 2.5 sacks and ...Published on: 8th November, 2009
A complete unmitigated disaster, one that requires serious introspection, and self-evaluation. That’s perhaps the only way to describe what the Packers 38-28 loss to hapless Tampa Bay was. This is the kind of loss that ruins a season, particularly with a match-up with the red-hot Cowboys on national television next ...Published on: 6th November, 2009
Packer fans are not happy with Dom Capers right now. And they’re not the only ones. Players voiced their frustration following the loss to Minnesota, saying they were “handcuffed” to quote Cullen Jenkins. Just don’t blame the defense for the Packers being 4-3. You can understand the frustration when Green Bay showed no ...
