Conundrums are a pain in the you-know-what for football teams. They wreck the “keep it simple, stupid” approach that most thrive on. We at OBOD, however, love conundrums. They give us a chance to come down on one side or another of an important Green Bay Packers-related issue and, of course, stir the pot – something [...] We here at OBOD don’t give out gameballs. We give out donuts. And, with the Green Bay Packers improving to 2-0 on the season with a 34-7 win over Buffalo on Sunday, we’d like to do just that. Now. (Also, we’re no longer giving away bad donuts to every group. Only one player will get the bad donut from [...] To many Green Bay Packers fans, the first 30 minutes of Sunday’s home tilt with the Buffalo Bills no doubt felt like an exercise in torture. Facing an extremely undermanned opponent, the Packers played as though victory was all but assured – even if no actual effort was required. The result of that? A mere six-point [...] Since week one was such a smashing success in our weekly picks segment, we have decided to return for round two because we know you all enjoyed our Nostradamus-like predictions. And Gene has decided to toss last’s week simple approach to offer more insight (not sure if this is good or bad). After a few twists [...] It’s Friday and, for many of you, that means it’s pay day. What better day to examine a trio of key contracts for the Green Bay Packers? Just make sure you look at your check before you read these numbers. Otherwise, you might get a little upset. The respective deals of running back Ryan Grant, cornerback Charles Woodson and [...] When Spiller did get the ball, the Dolphins’ defensive front was quick to pinch inside, and knew Spiller would bounce runs outside too quickly. The Dolphin linebackers and defensive backs who kept contain on the outside were then able bottle Spiller up for little yardage. I would expect the Bills to attempt to be more creative in creating opportunities to get into space against Green [...] Don’t worry – you didn’t misread the title. This week’s Wednesday special is going to be all about the running backs. No injury reports. No mention of Mason Crosby winning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week (outside of that one, of course). Nothing but running backs. And, really, why not? The position is the focus of [...] For nearly a decade – from 1987-1996 – the Buffalo Bills were a picture of consistency. Jim Kelly was always going to be running the high-octane show and running it at an elite level; Thurman Thomas was, simply, going to be running all over the place; and Andre Reed was a lock to catch damn near [...] The news out of Green Bay today is that running back Ryan Grant will miss the rest of the year after tearing the ligament that holds two bones in his ankle. The injury is similar to the one that cost Dorsey Levens half of the 1998 season, and Grant said on his Twitter account there [...] Most of the major news surrounding the Green Bay Packers on the day after their season-opening win over Philadelphia involved injuries. And, as is the case most of the time with things like these, the news wasn’t particularly good. Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that running back Ryan Grant (ankle) is out for Sunday’s home opener with [...] |
