First, let me say this: I have a personal policy not to root for the Vikings in ANY situation. There was even a game a year or two ago, where the Packers needed the Vikings to win and help them out, where I simply watched without emotion. Yes, I hate them that much.
Why, you ask? [...]
We’re back at it with our weekly podcast, armed with an ever-increasing jingle bank and plenty of insults for Brett Favre as he prepares to invade Lambeau Field again. There might even be a visit in store from former Packers coach Mike Sherman! And of course, we break down the Packers’ loss to the Miami [...]
(Note: My streak of game recaps is officially over at 29. Don’t worry – I’ll start a new one Sunday.)
As Gene, Adam and myself exited FedEx Field on Sunday, following the Green Bay Packers’ gutwrenching 16-13 overtime loss to the Washington Redskins, we found ourselves using variations of the same phrase over and over:
This team just [...]
From a purely unscientific standpoint, it seems like the Packers alternate between years where they’re relatively healthy and years where they cannot catch a break. I thought the 2009 season was the former – despite losing Al Harris and Aaron Kampman in the same game, the Packers had most of their top players at the [...]
We’re camped out at OBOD’s Washington bureau (also known as the Casa de Gene, as Lempesis calls it), trying to recover from today’s 16-13 Packers loss to the Redskins. Adam, Chris and I will have more in the morning, including the possible maiden voyage of our OBOD podcast (we think it’ll be fun, and the [...]
I know, I know – some of you probably don’t think we should be tossing out any donuts after that one.
But, hey, a win’s a win, right? Oops – let me just turn off this cilche alarm real quick.
And, with the Green Bay Packers improving to 3-1 on the season as a result of their [...]
Four games is four games.
It’s a sample, a taste. And whether a team’s start is atrocious, fantastic, or somewhere in between, four games is not enough to determine how things will go the rest of the way.
But it is enough to paint a picture of what kind of team you have.
The Green Bay Packers - a team [...]
(I know, I know – usually the “mixed bag of donuts” piece runs on Wednesdays. But we’re still trying to get caught up after the Monday nighter. It’s crazy how much one day changes things in terms of a schedule.)
By now, we are all aware of what happened with Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins [...]
Good morning, OBOD readers — Gene here. Chris is off fuming somewhere, so I thought I’d weigh in with a few, shall we say, more measured thoughts about last night’s loss to the Bears. Chris’s recap is coming, and I can tell you after talking to him last night, it will be colorful.
In the meantime, [...]
(Note: Last season, I called this post the “Wednesday Wrap-up.” We’re going with the new name because, well, it’s just more fun, isn’t it?)
Tuesday, it seemed as though the Green Bay Packers might have found a solution to their return man quandary.
Former All-Pro returner Clifton Smith, recently released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was in [...]
