The 5-4 Packers meet the 4-5 49ers at Lambeau Field today. The weather is exceptionally good for a late November game: in the low 50s and sunny. So no advantage on that front today.So, what can we we expect? That's the question, Bunky, that's the question. Will we see the Packers...

There goes another early round draft pick down the drain. QB Brian Brohm, who was highly touted coming out of Louisville, and was the Packers' 2nd round pick in 2008, has signed a deal with Buffalo. Brohm was beaten out last year by 7th round pick Matt Flynn as the primary backup...

As Packer fans, we're still basking in the glow of the win over the Cowboys on Sunday. Very few, Packer fans included, thought the Pack had much of a chance going into that game, especially coming off the debacle in Tampa. And, given what we've seen so far, we really aren&...

The game strategy recommended in the preview here earlier today was one that the Packers apparently wound up using: the "opposite George/Packers" scheme. That's the one where the team does the exact opposite of everything they've done before to finally achieve success...

Kudos to the Packers defense for keeping the Cowboys offense in check through the first half, particularly when the 'boys had good field position for most of the half.The Pack got a couple gifts during the half: a missed 38-yard field goal on the Cowboys first possession, and a...

To say this is a make-or-break game for the Packers is overstating the situation in the minds of some, and a clear understatement for others. But clearly, at the halfway point of the season, the Packers have underachieved based on expectations...which themselves, in retrospect, might...
Another example of Coach McCarthy feeling the pressure?

Packer Fans United

No, this one is not Packers CEO Mark Murphy putting some subtle verbal screws to the coaching staff, as happened earlier this week. And it's certainly not GM Ted Thompson saying anything...when was the last time that happened? But as noted in an earlier post here this week, McCarthy...
Do the Packers players get it now?

With the youngest squad in the NFL for the fourth consecutive year, some analysts have wondered whether or not the youngsters understand the need to win now...that you can be playing today and out of the game tomorrow...that there is only today in the NFL. Old timers such as Charles...

Stating what football fans -- and especially, Packer fans these days -- know all too well, sportswriter Lori Nickel of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel today has a bit of an overview on what happens when a team's quarterback gets sacked too often. You get three guesses. And the first...
Packer woes

Just what the Packers needed: playing the Cowboys without Aaron Kampman. Turns out he got smacked in the jaw early in the Tampa Bay game and wound up with a small concussion. He played a good portion of the game, but as of yesterday was still feeling the effects. Kampman told reporters...

Goofy half.That's about the only thing you can say. And frustrating. And numbingly typical this season. Big plays for the Packers. Big plays for the opponents. Blown opportunities.The Packers started strong, albeit after the now ubiquitous penalty on punt/kick returns (is there...

If it's one thing we know about the Packers over the last two years it is that they will beat inferior teams. The problem arises, as we also know, against teams with winning records; the Packers have only beaten teams with winning records twice in the last two years.So, given that...
Clifton & Tauscher to start?

Packer Fans United

Does working as the main offensive tackles during practice mean those same players will start the upcoming game? Why not, especially if they are veterans Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher. Clifton replaced rookie T. J. Lang and Tauscher replaced Allen Barbre for most of the snaps Wednesday...

Let's move from the gutwrenching emotional loss to the guys in funky purple "uniforms" to a more rational comparison of the Packers and ViQueens. Thankfully, one of the very good sportswriters at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Tom Silverstein, has done it so you are...
Rodgers showing effects of sacks

Packer Fans United

After taking another 6 sacks yesterday -- and a league-leading 31 after just 7 games -- it's no wonder that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is not feeling particularly good at this point of the season.Rodgers was noticeably limping before the end of yesterday's game vs. the ViQueens...

In a game of ups and downs -- mainly on the Packers side of things -- the Pack once again came up short against the ViQueens and Ol' #4. The game looked like it would be a blow out after halftime, but the Packers rallied and made a game of it almost till the end. But making a game...

Perhaps this post should be subtitled, "The Day the Earth Stood Still: Brett Favre Returns to Lambeau Field." Others have taken to calling this day Favre-a-Palooza and Favreaggedon. OK, headbanging...yes, the ultimate end-times battle...um, no. Sure, the game will likely...

With all the discussion this week -- and many others -- about Green Bay's old quarterback, lost in the shuffle to a degree is the Packers' current QB. That would be a shame because Aaron Rodgers has just been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month. Congrats, Mr. Rodgers...

This is a question which has been kicked about since the moment the Packers world knew Ol' #4 would be playing in the funky purple for the ViQueens: how should/will fans react when Brett Favre re-enters Lambeau Field? It's been discussed on sports talk radio and TV, in print...

The story of the 3rd quarter for the Packers was, unfortunately, the reemergence of dropped passes, penalties and missed opportunities. Yes, deju vu all over again, kids.For example, on the Packers first drive of the half, they converted a 3rd down play to a 1st down at roughly the...
