2010 preseason game four vs. Kansas City: Now that it's over - here's what we've learned

I’m going to play a dangerous game in this space.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to write 900 words on the Green Bay Packers’ 17-13 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday night’s preseason finale.

(Though I will quickly say that I loved what I saw from Matt Flynn. He can hold down the fort [...]

2010 preseason game two vs. Seattle: What to say about this one?

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

The Green Bay Packers practiced just once Monday, but there was still quite a bit going on. Let’s get to that now, shall we?

Super-terrific Family Night wrap-up!

We got our first real look at the 2010 Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in the team’s annual “Family Night” scrimmage at Lambeau Field.

(Big ups to the folks at Fox11 in Green Bay for streaming the event online. Well done, gang.)

It’s hard to know exactly what we should take away from such an event. [...]

Catching up on how the Pack have looked in camp so far

So, six practices in – how are the Green Bay Packers looking?

In short, similar to most teams at this point. The defense is ahead of the offense, which is almost always the case at any level of football six practices in to a season. OTA/minicamps only do so much for keeping a rhythm, after all, [...]

What are the things that could bring the 2010 Green Bay Packers down? A closer look

Most Green Bay Packers fans are extremely high on the 2010 squad. You can include me in that group.

Still, they are not a team without flaws – no team is in the salary cap era.

Much has been written about the Pack’s seemingly biggest flaw – the pass defense – this offseason. But what are some [...]

Martin re-signs; still, special teams struggles must be fixed before next season

Finally, some actual news came from the Green Bay Packers on Monday night as they re-signed strong safety/special teams ace Derrick Martin to a two-year contract, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Terms were not immediately announced.

Martin was scheduled to be a restricted free agent. With a long list of players set for restricted free agency, [...]

Top 10 moments/games of the decade: Part one

So, the Green Bay Packers’ All-Decade Team is in the books.

But what about the best moments or games of the decade? We’d have to talk about that, wouldn’t we?

Yes we would.

After all, the past 10 years have been filled with those “Wow” moments for us Packers fans. Narrowing them down to a list of 10 [...]

Offseason to-do list (conclusion): Potential free agent targets for Green Bay, part two

(Before we begin: Just to reiterate, if you’re worried this is it for OBOD’s offseason coverage, don’t be. We’ll be all over free agency when it starts and we’re already busy researching for the draft and we’ll be beginning our coverage of that soon enough. Three words: Mock drafts, baby!)

Let’s cut to the chase. Here [...]
