I can’t really fault those who want to blame Dom Capers and the Packers defense for this loss, but the real blame lies at the feet of Mike McCarthy and the Packers offense. Our own Adam Czech points the finger at the Packers last drive of the first half, but let me take this a little further.
After the Packers went up 21-3 in the second quarter, let’s look at their next three...

Neal almost ready to return to roster
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike Neal feels like a new man. After serving a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, the third-year Packers defensive end is back with the team and ready for a fresh start."Let's put it this way: It's like letting somebody out of jail before they knew he was innocent," Neal said.

I’m more Harvin than Sproles Juan…
The Packers will be without Greg Jennings for at least a week, if not longer. It’s time for their young WRs to step up. James Jones will replace him in the lineup, but who will have more fantasy value.
James Jones is a guy who I joke is the fantasy player that gets you 3 in your lineup or 20 on your bench. I am not too far off. Week...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Clay Matthews may have been a little too good to begin this season. With six sacks in the Packers' first two games, Matthews matched his 2011 season total and showed opposing teams that his statistical drop-off in production was nothing more than a one-year glitch.
After the fourth-year linebacker dominated the 49ers and Bears in Weeks 1 and 2 and was on pace...

The Green Bay Packers have had one of the tougher schedules to start the year. They started with the stout 49ers, a division rival in the Bears, a Seattle game marred by the replacement refs and a Saints team desperate for a win. To come out of that with a 2-2 record could be looked at as a success or an utter disappointment.
And just when you thought the road gets a little easier...
