There were a great many positives to take away from the Green Bay Packers’ 59-24 pounding of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.
The offensive line, Ryan Grant and Aaron Rodgers all turned in very good performances. The defense wasn’t perfect, but rebounded after a tough start to play well, despite the absence of a [...]
Well, the third preseason game is here. And, as Denny Green once famously informed us, this is the one that teams do not, in fact, play like it’s bull(expletive), bull(expletive)!
That could be especially true in this one, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts and some cat named Peyton at Lambeau Field tonight [...]
With the “dress rehearsal” preseason game – i.e., game No. 3 – against the Indianapolis Colts just five days away, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy took a cautious approach Saturday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
In other words, a lot of players didn’t play.
The entire starting linebacking corps was out, for example, as were [...]
After an ever-so-brief hiatus, we’re back with another helping of training camp stew – your nightly update on the most interesting bits of information to come out of that day’s practice(s).
The Green Bay Packers went at it twice Thursday as they are just two days away from their preseason opener against the highly touted Cleveland [...]
And we’re back with yet another heaping helping of training camp stew, your nightly recap of the most interesting bits of information from today’s practice.

As always, a thanks to the fine folks [...]
(The Green Bay Packers were off on Sunday. As such, the “Training Camp Stew” will return Monday night.)
Over the weekend, I was listening to a recent Bill Simmons podcast that he did with NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi. The two discussed Lombardi’s “Blue Chip Rankings” article he wrote for NFL.com. It’s a fascinating examination, if you [...]
We went a different way with part one, focusing on the offensive line first.
We’ll let the skill position players get their due this time around, though, as we make them the focus of part two.
Not bad for a short intro, huh?
Wide receiver
Type of battle: No. 3 receiver spot
Combatants: James Jones (26 years old, 6-feet, 1-inch, 208 [...]
(Before we begin: Our “Friendly Fire” training camp battles series begins Tuesday.)
Before this week’s over, it will begin.
The two-a-days. The position battles. The fights. The heat – my God, the heat.
No more guessing will be necessary. Okay, there will still be some guessing – but not as much. Before this week’s over, training camp for [...]
In part one of our series, we gave you the offensive backfield. Boy, was that fun, huh?
For part two of OBOD’s all-time 53-man roster, we’ll fill out the remaining “skill positions.”
(Side note: I put that in quotation marks because I’ve never understood why that term is used. Doesn’t it take skill to play offensive line? How [...]
(Recently, we asked you guys – the faithful OBOD readers – if you had any interesting ideas that you’d like us to write about over the next few months. One reader, Nathan Heineke, sent along a couple of cool ideas. This was one of them. Thanks, Nathan. If you have any ideas, again, feel free [...]
