Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
It’s about time for the very last quadrupleheader of the 2025 NFL season. Today, the last international game on the schedule kicks off, this one from Madrid, Spain where the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins face off. That game starts a big day across the NFL, with a number of important divisional matchups on the […]

On Sunday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers will attempt to end their losing streak at two games. The team has scored just 20 points combined in losses to the Carolina Panthers and the Philadelphia Eagles, and now on a short week they head to New Jersey to face the New York Giants with a chance […]

The Green Bay Packers signed receiver/returner Mecole Hardman this offseason, as the team apparently planned on phasing All-Pro returner Keisean Nixon off of special teams. So far this year, Nixon hasn’t returned even 1 of the 30 kick returns that the Packers have taken out in 2025, and Nixon has only returned 3 of the […]

For weeks, the Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff has been trying to convince us that kicker Brandon McManus has been healthy, even though he’s now three of nine on field goals outside of the red zone this season. Clearly, he’s been pushing through an injury, and it has been impacting his performance, but the staff […]

We’ve already had one top-25 upset this week, with #20 Louisville falling to Clemson on Friday night. The ACC is currently in absolute chaos, as each of Georgia Tech, Virginia, SMU, Pittsburgh and Duke all have only one loss at the top of the conference. Yes, 5-4 Duke is 4-1 in the ACC. There’s a […]

The Green Bay Packers’ defense, again, did more than enough to win the game. Against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, whom they held to just 10 points, they found ways to stop a high-powered offense led by Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown. Unfortunately, the offense did not hold up its end of the […]

All of us here at Acme Packing Company have been theorizing as to why Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has become a bad head coach, and I would like to proffer up my theory: That Matt is secretly an old man who fell in love with the Kyle Shanahan system for all the […]

As the Green Bay Packers prepare for one of the most chaotic quarterbacks in modern NFL history in Jameis Winston, it presents an opportunity for third-year cornerback Carrington Valentine to make some splash plays for his defense. Shortly after firing head coach Brian Daboll, the New York Giants announced that Winston would be starting over […]

It’s my opinion that the Green Bay Packers are running the ball too much. They’re playing conservative and relying on their very good defense to win games, while they should be riding good offensive personnel out to an early lead so that Micah Parsons can kill people. They need to seriously dial back the running, […]

The Green Bay Packers don’t have many injury question marks going into Sunday’s Week 11 action against the New York Giants. On Friday, the team officially ruled out cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), which was expected. Beyond that, though, Green Bay only has three players who were listed as questionable going into the game. The players […]

The Packers and Giants have nearly a century of history together. These two teams first crossed paths all the way back in 1928, a 6-0 barnburner victory for the New York Giants, who were fresh off a victory over the fearsome Pottsville Maroons the previous week. The Packers would get their revenge over their big-city […]

With Week 10 firmly in the rearview mirror and no one still talking about it at all, it’s time we turn and look at the Week 11 match-up against the New York Giants. What can we expect to see from the Green Bay Packers’ offense in this game? I looked at some numbers and film […]

The NFL has tweaked its roster rules around injured reserve significantly in the last ten years or so, with the rules changes affording teams much more flexibility to manage medium-term injuries. Years ago, if a player was placed on the Reserve/Injured list (more commonly referred to as “injured reserve” or “IR”), his season was over. […]

The Green Bay Packers have dealt with more changes and uncertainty on their offensive line in 2025 than they have for some time. Yes, David Bakhtiari’s bouncing in and out of the lineup after his torn ACL was a challenge, but the rest of the line had stayed largely healthy during the few years when […]

Coming off two straight losses, after having arguably their worst rushing performances of the season in back-to-back weeks, the Green Bay Packers need a get-right game badly. Thankfully, the football Gods have a gift for Matt LaFleur’s squad: the New York Giants, who are on pace for a historically bad run defense. How bad is […]

The Green Bay Packers are getting the New York Giants at what on paper is the perfect time. Not only are the Giants out their starting quarterback, number one running back and number one receiver, but the team also had to name an interim head coach and an interim offensive coordinator this week following the […]

There’s so much talk about the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line that I just wanted to finally collect all my thoughts together on the team’s recent pivot at the position. As someone who has followed the Packers’ draft trends since the start of the Ted Thompson era —maybe too closely for my own good health […]

The first NFL game of Week 11 is upon us and despite tonight’s game being a divisional matchup, it features one team being favored by nearly two touchdowns. The New England Patriots are one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season, as they join the Colts and Broncos as surprising division leaders with […]

Yesterday, Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson was not on the Packers’ injury report at all, making it the first time that he wasn’t on the injury report since he returned from his ACL tear. Well, maybe Green Bay’s practice estimations were a little too ambitious for their Wednesday walkthrough, because on Thursday, the first […]

The injury news continues to be positive for the Green Bay Packers this week. On Wednesday, seven players who were listed on the team’s injury report leading up to the Philadelphia Eagles game did not appear on the Packers’ initial injury report of Week 11 at all. Now, defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) has […]

If you thought things on the Green Bay Packers-related internet this week were bad, I can inform you that they were just as bad, if not worse, in person at Lambeau Field on Monday night. The Packers offense spent the entire evening shooting itself in the foot between poor offensive line play, hyper-conservative playcalling, procedural […]

The Green Bay Packers have three losses by a combined 9 points in 2025. While the defense has held up their end of the bargain, the offense has been, at times, disjointed, undisciplined, and lacking in core philosophy. That’s the recipe that’s heating up head coach Matt LaFleur’s seat, despite being 5-3-1. New scene. Enter: The […]

The Green Bay Packers might actually end up netting an extra draft pick in 2026 thanks to former Packers linebacker Eric Wilson, because he’s started the last nine games for the Minnesota Vikings, jumping ahead of projected starter Ivan Pace in snaps played. Too often, we think of compensatory draft picks as just cash coming […]

One of the interesting quirks of the Green Bay Packers’ offense right now is the team’s usage of third-round rookie receiver Savion Williams. If you look at how the Packers’ depth chart stacks up right now, you can make the case that he’s behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, Malik […]
