There is no question the Green Bay Packers are one of the best teams in the NFL heading into the 2012 season. Will the only team to go 15-1 last year, go 16-0 this season? Let’s take a look.
Perhaps the most significant factor in a run at perfection is the strength of schedule.
Based on last years records, only New England has an easier schedule. Green Bay opponents combined for a 120-136 record (.469) in 2011. Seven of their opponents had at least nine wins last year, but one of those teams, New Orleans, will face the Packers in week 4 with some key components missing due to the bounty scandal.
If Green Bay finds themselves 14-0 going into week 16, they have two very winnable games, even if the starters do not play, against Tennessee and Minnesota. A week 10 bye before their toughest two game stretch against the New York Giants and Detroit Lions and the Green Bay schedule has 16-0 written all over it.
The Green Bay offense was the most prolific in the league last season, leadin...

Believe it or not Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was the first person that I thought of when the terms of Drew Brees’ new contract were announced.
The reason being is that at 33 years-old Brees is getting $20 million a year for what will most likely be his last huge payday.
At this point will Rodger try to squeeze as many as two record breaking paydays out his NFL lifespan?

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't sound in a hurry to negotiate his next contract. Thats a good thing for the Packers. With three years left on a six-year, $65 million contract he signed in 2008, Rodgers is a bargain by todays standards. Drew Brees recently signed a five-year, $100 million deal with the Saints, making him the NFLs highest-paid player. Yet, Rodgers...

One of these days — though not anytime soon — the Packers plan on extending an olive branch toward Brett Favre, who spent 16 seasons solidifying his legacy in Titletown only to have it come down in one fell swoop. Although Favre departed on not-so-great terms, GM Mark Murphy wants to formally retire his number, as most teams do with its iconic players.
The sentiment appears...

It really shouldn’t have surprised anyone when the New Orleans Saints caved and gave QB Drew Brees that amazing contract last week. Sure, it was a little surprising that Tom Benson made Brees the highest paid player in NFL history, but everybody involved in that whole situation needed some good news, so it was bound to happen.
What was surprising was the news that Green Bay Packers...
