That’s the question posed by a Wall Street Journal story today. All of us who have watched the Packers this year know how close this team was to being, say, 13-3 or 14-2. They got themselves flagged out of the first Chicago game. They lost to the Redskins after Mason Crosby’s field goal went off the [...] Think back, for a moment, to where the Packers were a year ago today. They had given up 51 points to the Arizona Cardinals two weeks earlier, absorbing yet another numbing playoff loss, and were swimming in questions about how they’d possibly be able to put together a good enough defense to get them deep into [...] First, let’s get this out of the way: Brett Favre never did anything in a playoff game along the lines of what Aaron Rodgers did last night. Not even close. From a passer rating standpoint, Favre’s best playoff game in a Packers uniform was the team’s divisional playoff win over Seattle in 2007, when he posted [...] We’re back with another edition of the Ol’ Bag of Donuts podcast, just in time for the Packers’ NFC divisional playoff game against the Falcons on Saturday. This is a jam-packed edition of the podcast: we took reader questions, previewed Packers- Falcons, discussed the overall playoff picture with our special guest David from South Bend [...] Raise your hand if, at the beginning of this season, you would have thought the Packers’ defense, not their offense, would be providing the locomotion for a playoff run. (Anyone still have their hands up? OK, a few of you — and you’re lucky I don’t have access to a polygraph test.) Now, what if I’d told [...] Well, the Packers are in the playoffs, set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round tomorrow. And we at OBOD have a playoff edition of our Packers podcast ready to go. We’re previewing the Eagles game, offering some predictions — and taking a few shots at the Vikings, who couldn’t be with us [...] So as I am writing this late following the aftermath of the Seahawks upsetting the Saints, we are all one in the hole this round. But so if basically everyone in the nation. We all made our picks prior to the game, so you will just have to accept our honesty. Chris had a strong finish [...] We’re all back from Green Bay, all still alive and (for the moment) all still in Minneapolis. So we got together at Adam’s place yesterday for a rare edition of the OBOD podcast with all of us in the same room. And this is a good one — we finally got our friend Matt from [...] You asked, and we delivered: Chris and I recorded a very special edition of the OBOD podcast while driving back from Lambeau Field on Hwy. 29 last night. We discuss the win over the Giants, and what it means for the Packers’ playoff scenarios and Mike McCarthy. Plus: We take a wrong turn in Wausau, [...] As Matt Flynn marched — well, marched is too strong of a word; maybe nudged? — the Packers down the field in the final four minutes of last night’s game against the New England Patriots, I let a taboo thought of optimism enter my head for just a second. What if this kid actually throws a [...] |
