Packers Depth Chart Update: DL remains a heavy rotation

Folks, we’re rebranding. Instead of calling this series detailed snap counts, it’s going to be the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart update moving forward, as that’s probably a more accurate title. Below, we’ll go into where, why and how many times a player lined up in a certain spot for the Packers against the Arizona […]

Mike Holmgren advances as Hall of Fame candidate

It’s probably not going to happen for him this year, because of Bill Belichick joining the pool of coaching candidates, but former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the group of 12 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s coaching candidates going into the next stage of Class of 2026 voting. […]

Steelers safety out for season with knee injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 4-2 after a rough defensive outing against the Bengals last Thursday. Head coach Mike Tomlin noted that wide receiver Calvin Austin will return to practice and that they are “optimistic” about him suiting up in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. However, one of their captains will be out […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds – Aaron Rodgers looms, like it or not

Sorry, Matt LaFleur, this week’s game is at least a little bit about Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ head coach can downplay the fact that the guy who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with the Packers is now on the opposing sideline, but it doesn’t detract from the significance of the matchup. Rodgers is […]

Packers Film Room: A huge 4th down conversion in Arizona

Matt LaFleur has come under fire in the last couple of years for some of his decision-making on 4th down. The Shanahan tree guys had always been more conservative on 4th down than I would have thought (given how forward-thinking they are about offensive football), but LaFleur seemed to buck that trend early on, only […]

Discussion: Where do the Detroit Lions rank in a crowded NFC?

By playoff seeding, the Detroit Lions are currently holding the five spot. Technically, the Green Bay Packers lead the division (and conference) with their 4-1-1 record, because a tie counts as a half win and 4.5 wins in six games is a better win percentage than five wins in seven games. But playoff seeding is […]

The Green Bay Packers are tops in the NFC

After a 24-9 Detroit Lions win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Green Bay Packers hold the top seed in the NFC with a 4-1-1 record. Yes, the Packers are the only team in the conference that has only lost just once in the 2025 regular season. Despite their flaws, the Packers have cost themselves […]

Matt LaFleur doesn’t expect Lukas Van Ness to play vs. Steelers

The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a couple of injuries, none bigger than the loss of defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who is dealing with a foot issue. In his Monday press conference, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the following about Van Ness’ status going into this week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers: […]

The Packers can swap kickers, if they really want to

Lucas Havrisik is obviously one of the better stories of a frustrating Green Bay Packers season. Added to the roster the day before the Packers’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Havrisik just connected on the longest made field goal in the history of a 100-plus-year club. Mind you, he was planning on becoming a substitute […]

The Packers didn’t want Josh Jacobs to play vs. the Cardinals

On Saturday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who was dealing with an illness and a calf strain, was a “true game-time decision” against the Arizona Cardinals. This was backed by the Packers’ roster moves on Saturday, where they called up running back Pierre Strong Jr. to the […]

Packers’ Nate Hobbs conceded the 2nd most yards in the NFL in Week 7

To say the least, the Green Bay Packers’ plan of signing Nate Hobbs, paying him like a slot defender and hoping that he could develop into outside cornerback is not exactly working out so far. Just in case you thought you were hallucinating yesterday’s performance against the Arizona Cardinals, I decided to look at the […]

Lucas Havrisik stands alone in Packers history after massive kick

It may not go down as the play of the year, but Lucas Havrisik’s 61-yard field goal is definitely one of the most unlikely. As recently as two weeks ago, Havrisik’s kicking career had stalled and his substitute teaching career had yet to take off. Now he’s a freshly minted Packers record holder, having booted […]

Cheese Curds, 10/20: Did Matt LaFleur get his groove back?

For his first few years as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur was one of the more aggressive coaches in the NFL on fourth downs. After a slow start as a rookie head coach in 2019, he spent three straight seasons in the top three for go rate when doing so would […]

Why Matt LaFleur changed his mind on that 4th down

With 2:32 left in the fourth quarter, down three points on the 29-yard line, the Green Bay Packers had a decision to make. Would they kick a field goal, a 47-yard attempt for Lucas Havrisik, who joined the team last Saturday, or would they go for it on fourth down? Initially, Packers head coach Matt […]

Packers-Cardinals Final Score: Green Bay escapes Arizona with a win

The Green Bay Packers did not lead until two minutes were remaining in the game on Sunday, but they did just enough in the second half — and got a few big plays from their recently-embattled defense — to emerge victorious in their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Josh Jacobs scored the go-ahead touchdown with […]
