Quick thoughts on Green Bay’s 9-0 WIN!!

I was going to wait until later tonight to post my thoughts.

Sorry, I couldn’t wait. The Green Bay Packers’ 9-0 win over the New York Jets was just too sweet (don’t worry, I’ll be back with more later this evening, anyways).

Here are my quick thoughts on the win, in no particular order:

Roughly two hours after [...]

Quick thoughts on Green Bay's 28-24 WIN!!

As I sit down to write this, the clock has just struck 12:37 a.m.

In other words, I’ll be keeping this one brief (don’t worry – we’ll have a whole lot more reaction to this one later today).

Here are some quick thoughts on the Green Bay Packers’ 28-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night [...]

Injuries cast grim shadow for defense

At some point, a unit can only withstand so many injuries.

The Green Bay Packers are not at that point just yet with their defense, but they can likely see it off in the distance.

Wednesday, we learned that inside linebacker Nick Barnett’s wrist injury is much worse than initially thought. Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel [...]

Wednesday's mixed bag of donuts: Running backs, running backs and more running backs

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 [...]

What I'd like to see in Packers/Browns

If Saturday’s contest between the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns – set for 7 p.m. Lambeau Time at, well, Lambeau Field – was a regular season affair, we’d go all out in writing a preview.

Unfortunately, though, it isn’t – it’s merely the preseason opener.

That being the case, we’ll go a different route and merely [...]

An attempt to answer some early camp questions

Folks, I got to the line of scrimmage, saw the look of the defense and decided I didn’t like the play. That’s right – I’m calling an audible.

I decided to pass on cooking up a batch of training camp stew for Tuesday, even though the Green Bay Packers practiced twice. The Stew will return Thursday night, [...]

Bishop's comments understandable, but misguided

(Before we begin: Our “2010 training camp stew” posts will begin Tuesday night. At that point, the Packers will have practiced six times – enough where we can start weighing in on some specifics.)

Well, it certainly sounds like Desmond Bishop is upset, eh?

Only this time, his beef does not lie with yours truly.

The fourth-year inside linebacker [...]

Players who could be moved in order to bolster areas of need

Monday, I wrote about the idea of Ted Thompson trading a player from an area of relative strength in order to bolster the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line.

That was written in the context of discussing the Johnny Jolly 2010 Suspension Tour, but really, d-line isn’t the only area Thompson could look to sure up via [...]

Wrapping up the past...um...few days in Packerland

So it’s been a minute since I’ve last written for the site.

It feels like I’ve been saying that a lot lately. That’s because, well, I have.

My reasons are, of course, legit. First it was vacay-time; then I got sick; and, finally, I’ve been out of town attending my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t forsee [...]

I poke fun at Desmond Bishop…and Desmond pokes back

(Before we begin, a reminder: Our mid-Summer trivia contest will begin later this morning as we reveal the first clue. Again, we will only do so via our Twitter and/or Facebook pages.)

Over the past couple of days, a flurry of pro-Desmond Bishop activity has taken place on Twitter. Most of the Tweets have been spin-offs [...]
