Staking out the enemy: Q&A with Vikings blog

Not sure if you guys have heard, but the Packers play the Vikings this week.  Sunday is only a few days away so just want to make sure you guys got that information. Got it? Good.

In all seriousness, this game is the most important game of the year so far and it goes far beyond [...]

Tuesday is apparently trade day...just not for the Packers

(Before we begin: Tuesday is normally our day to take a glance at the Green Bay Packers’ opposition for that week. As much as we’d love to write about the Washington Redskins, sorry, there was just too much else going on Tuesday. Don’t worry – you’ll get our full wrap-up of the D.C. trip next [...]

A few thoughts on Packers-Bears

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.

Conundrums are a pain in the you-know-what for football teams. They wreck the “keep it simple, stupid” approach that most thrive on.

Regular season game two vs. Buffalo: Second half brings much-needed killer instinct

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.

I mean, I know they signed a receiver from the CFL recently. But I’m not going to talk about it.

Lately, though, there’s been a slight flurry of activity. And with [...]

Putting the final bow on Green Bay's 2010 draft

Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]

Buluga? Wait, what?!

And with the 23rd pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Bryan Buluga, tackle, [...]

If I was running the draft rooms in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota...

The last few weeks at OBOD have been dedicated entirely to discussing the upcoming draft as it pertains to the Green Bay Packers.

Makes sense – this is a Packers’ blog, after all.

But there are three other teams in the NFC North, of course, and we’re going to kick off our draft week coverage – seriously, [...]
