Regular season game thirteen vs. Chicago: Clear a spot for the Pack in the tournament

(Before we begin: I’d normally apologize for this recap going up so late. But there was a reason for it tonight. I wanted to wait and see how the Philadelphia/New York game turned out.)

I was waiting to say it. I wanted to say it, but I didn’t want to rush. It’s a problem I have.

Now, [...]

Similar expectations, different results for Rodgers and Cutler

One was expected to replace a legend.

The other was expected to be the first legend a team had had in over 50 years.

The tasks – and those lofty, borderline unfair, expectations – facing Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler were similar.

The results so far have been anything but.

Round two of what was expected to be a [...]

Behind Enemy Lines

I hope everyone survived Black Friday or their Thanksgiving hangover (not mentioning any fellow OBOD writers’ names). Since it’s a holiday weekend, we figured we would provide a little treat for you in terms of some extended NFC North black and blue coverage. Call it Behind Enemy Lines if you will. The Packers vs. Lions [...]

Quarter report: Where are the Packers at on defense?

Let’s keep this thing moving along and talk about the first quarter showing by the Green Bay Packers’ defense.

(If you want to find part one, just scroll down a bit. There you go – keep scrolling and…you’ve got it! Congratulations!)

Defense

The Good

Charles Woodson (20 tackles, a team-high three interceptions, three passes defended) has been, not only [...]

Regular season game two vs. Cincinnati: Re-examining the hyperbole

It didn’t seem like hyperbole a week ago.

Mike McCarthy had called a better game. The defense did look more aggressive. The Green Bay Packers were nothing like they were in 2008.

As it turns out, though, hyperbole is the only way to describe my, well, descriptions of Green Bay after last week’s win over Chicago.

Sunday’s utterly [...]

Regular season game one vs. Chicago: Rodgers, defense prove they've got it

Before we begin, an apology.

We at OBOD pride ourselves on being able to bring you all the news regarding the Packers in a timely fashion. This game recap is a different story, however. Adam and I were at the game last night and, since we don’t live in Green Bay, we spent most of today [...]

Breaking down Packers vs. Bears

We know about the storylines.

We know about the primetime television audience.

We know about the rivalry.

As fun as all those things are – and, believe me, they are fun – we should probably, at some point, talk about the actual matchup itself.

Well, that time is now, as we are going to break down all the important [...]

You're the best, around…or at least in the NFC North

With Judas’ return to the NFC North, there seems to be an awful lot of discussion amongst fans where he fits on the list of quarterbacks already in the division.

For the record, I have him third…and that’s only because I don’t know how good Matthew Stafford is really going to be. I wanted to put [...]

Hey everyone, it's schedule release day!!

We’ve already known for months now who the Green Bay Packers’ opponents would be for the upcoming season.

We’ve also known which teams they would face at home and which they would battle on the road.

What we didn’t know was the order and times of those games (well, we knew they’d open with Chicago at home [...]

More Cutler Reax

After waking up this lovely spring morning with nothing new coming from 1265 Lombardi Ave., I figured it was a good opportunity to canvass various reactions to the biggest NFC North move this offseason so far. Part of me praises the Bears’ gusto of taking a big risk to get a franchise quarterback for the [...]
