Erik Walden celebrates. Jay Cutler cries.
Before the season started, Jersey Al posted this about Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden. Jersey Al said the following about Walden early in the post:
Erik Walden can flat out rush the passer. When Walden is turned loose to pursue the red meat known as NFL quarterbacks, he performs like a hungry lion.
I wasn’t as high on Walden as Al, but I wasn’t ready to boot him off the team like most everyone else. After getting arrested Thanksgiving Eve last season, Walden’s play fell off a cliff. He was decent before the arrest, though.
More importantly, the Packers decided to re-sign Walden in the offseason. Ted Thompson and the Packers see something in Walden. Why would they bother bringing back an average to below-average talent with a domestic assault arrest on his record? You can easily find average to below-average guys without arrest records off the street if you need to.
But the Packers obviously think Walden has the talent to be more than...

Packers rookie S Jerron McMillian
There’s no way around it–the Packers’ defense dominated the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.
Tramon Williams caught as many Jay Cutler passes (two) as Brandon Marshall, the Packers nearly doubled the Bears in total yards, and Clay Matthews had his arms wrapped around Cutler as if he were a certain cast member Laguna Beach. If not for an ugly...

B.J. is close to dancing again in 2012.
It was nice to see Packers receiver Donald Driver show off some of those Dancing With the Stars moves after catching a touchdown Thursday against the Bears.
Driver is a legit good dancer. His form is flawless. His timing is impeccable. His rhythm makes the ladies melt.
But I think I speak for a large (literally and figuratively) segment of...

Packers call McCarthy's fake field goal 'gutsy'
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It was a special night for the Packers special teams. The fake field-goal that turned into an easy touchdown in the second quarter was an unexpected, exciting play that gave Green Bay a lot of momentum in its Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears.And coach Mike McCarthy decided to try it simply to get his team's attention."I was trying to send our team a message...
Brett Favre Vs. Aaron Rodgers: Who’s the quarterback king of Green Bay?
When Brett Favre chose to not properly groom and mentor Aaron Rodgers to become the next starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, he not only created a controversy, but he broke an unwritten contract that is supposed to exist between a current starting quarterback and an heir apparent future starting quarterback in the nfl. Although, Number 4 will always be a hero to many fans...

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he would be surprised if wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin) did not return for the team's Week 3 matchup against Seattle, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Jennings was inactive for Green Bay's previous game against Chicago because of a lingering groin injury. He was unable to practice throughout the week as he missed just his fourth...

Woodson: We Don’t Need ‘Luck’, Jay Will Throw Us The Ball -
Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler’s decision to wish the Green Bay Packers secondary good luck came back to bite him and his team in the “you know what” Thursday night. Cutler had a terrible night, completing just 11 of his 27 passes, throwing four interceptions and got sacked seven times by the Packers defense. Things...

Benson Shows Potential, Maybe More to Come
Still feeling his way through a new scheme, Cedric Benson outgained the entire Bears offensive in the first half and picked up at least 6 yards on 10 occasions after never gaining more than 4 last week. An offensive line made up of "prideful guys" lent a big helping hand, as well.

September 17, 2012
Two games into the NFL season and Aaron Rodgers hasn't played lights out, not even close to it. If you picked Rodgers for your fantasy team, you most likely used a first round pick on the QB. That's a big investment with little return to show for it as of now. Currently Andrew Luck and even Matt Cassell have more passing yards than the Packers' MVP QB. Matt Ryan has...

The Green Bay Packers have lost three games since December 19, 2010. Greg Jennings didn’t play in one of them and he was at less than 100 percent in another. It’s no coincidence. So why hasn’t general manager Ted Thompson extended the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver? After all, he took care of another...

The guy who I told everyone to take with the No.1 pick in the offseason isn’t even performing like a 1st round pick after 2 games. Through 2 games Aaron Rodgers has looked like an average QB , throwing 3 TD’s to 2 INT’s. While some of his struggles can be attributed...
