The Packers will stick with Brandon McManus

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus is struggling. Outside of the red zone this year, he’s just three of nine on field goals.

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Matt LaFleur facing plenty of questions

I really don’t know where I land on the “fire Matt LaFleur” issue. Should the Packers pull the trigger or not? Can LaFleur fix this? If so, what will it take? If not, what should happen? I don’t know the answer to any of these questions. But I get why people are asking. It all […]

Jaire Alexander to step away from Eagles, contemplate retirement

When the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers, they did so with some fresh faces who were just added to the 53-man roster, including Brandon Graham, Jaelan Phillips and Michael Carter II. Interestingly, one of the players who didn’t make the trip to Green Bay was cornerback Jaire Alexander, a former Packer who was […]

Asante Samuel Jr. signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who took a visit with the Green Bay Packers recently, has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad on Tuesday.

The Packers’ offensive line is only going to get worse

The Green Bay Packers’ offense is sputtering. They have no idea how to handle split-safety looks that take the extra coverage defenders into the deeper portion of the field. So far, head coach Matt LaFleur’s answers this year have been to check down the ball in the passing game and to run the football. Unfortunately, […]

Week 11 NFL Power Rankings: Packers rightfully tumble

A couple of months ago, the Green Bay Packers were on top of the world. After starting off 2-0 by beating down the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, it was hard to find someone who didn’t think the Packers were going to be a top-three team in the NFL, based on power rankings. Then the […]

Packers Week 10 Winners and Losers vs. the Eagles

I’m starting to think the Green Bay Packers may have a problem. After facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football and losing a 10-7 snoozefest, the Packers are now 5-3-1 and 3rd place in the NFC North behind the Detroit Lions and, wait for it: the Chicago Bears. With injuries abound in […]

Aaron Banks has been an expensive mistake for the Packers

Aaron Banks was supposed to be the key that unlocked the Packers’ ground game. A hulking 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds, Banks’ arrival courtesy of a four-year, $77 million contract was supposed to free up Elgton Jenkins to move to center while Banks held down the left guard spot. Neither of those moves has worked. Jenkins […]

It was no secret that the Packers had issues at wide receiver coming into their Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers looking like pretenders, not contenders

Iron pyrite, or fool’s gold, is easy to distinguish from the real thing if you know what you’re looking at. It’s brassy, more shiny than lustrous, and appears in nature as something more akin to a crystal than the rounded nuggets or flakes of gold. There’s another key difference: under pressure, gold is malleable and […]

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky is reporting that center Elgton Jenkins, who was carted to the locker room during the first half of the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, has fractured his lower leg.

Packers Week 10 Snap Counts vs. Eagles: Bo Melton is a WR

Another week, another low-scoring effort from the Green Bay Packers’ offense. It feels like Groundhog Day around here, and things are starting to remind me of the end of the Mike McCarthy era.

LaFleur: Packers’ run game was ‘effective’ vs. Eagles

After the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said something that made my jaw drop.

The Eagles called out the Packers’ failed 4th down play

Before the Green Bay Packers lost the game with a 64-yard field goal miss from kicker Brandon McManus, the offense’s previous drive stalled out at midfield because of a turnover on downs.
