Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst ‘have a plan’ at tight end moving forward
In his Sunday press conference, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that he’s talked to general manager Brian Gutekunst and has come up with “a plan” for what the team will do at the tight end position moving forward. The position has been through a lot of changes this season, with the most […]
Packers Week 16 Winners and Losers vs. the Bears
Well, that game stunk. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met Saturday night at Soldier Field in a game that would see the winner take sole possession of the NFC North. It was windy, it was cold, and the game was off to a slow start. With the Packers up 6-0, Jordan Love went […]
Packers Fan Discussion: Steelers-Lions is the big game on Week 16 Sunday
For Green Bay Packers fans still licking the wounds after Saturday’s disappointing and frustrating loss to the Chicago Bears, the good or bad news is that there is still a lot more football to be played in Week 16. Sunday brings another 12 games, and one of those stands out well above the rest as […]
The Packers’ playoff chances are still really good
Despite the Green Bay Packers’ best efforts to crush fans’ dreams with back-to-back losses in brutal fashion, the team is still in a great position to make it into the playoffs. While the Packers can’t clinch this week, after the choke job in Chicago, they do have an opportunity to lock in a spot as […]
Packers players take ownership for late-game mistakes vs. Bears
Two big self-inflicted wounds really helped fuel the fire of the Green Bay Packers’ Saturday night collapse against the Chicago Bears. According to Next Gen Stats, the Bears at one point only had a 0.5 percent chance of winning the game before the Packers surrendered an onside kick to Chicago. According to The Athletic’s Matt […]
Packers Week 16 Snap Counts: Matthew Golden remains WR5
If you’re anything like me, the sting from the Green Bay Packers’ overtime loss to the Chicago Bears hasn’t left at all. The team got no touchdowns in the red zone in five tries. They blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. They scored just 16 points when they had 384 offensive yards and […]
The Packers beat themselves in epic proportions to fall to the Bears
The Green Bay Packers botched the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks almost 11 years ago. Saturday’s overtime loss to the Chicago Bears felt a lot like that. A dramatic comeback by the Bears ended with Caleb Williams finding DJ Moore for a game-winning 46-yard touchdown to retain their first-place spot in the NFC North, […]
Packers-Bears Final Score: Green Bay loses overtime stunner
Until there were 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter on Saturday, the Green Bay Packers held a 13-3 lead over the Chicago Bears. From that point on, the Packers lived through an absolute walking nightmare, a path that ended in a 22-16 loss to the team’s bitter rival. If you happened to miss Saturday’s […]
Jordan Loves leaves to locker room after helmet-to-helmet hit
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love exited the Chicago Bears game in the second quarter after a helmet-to-helmet hit, which led to a 15-yard penalty for Bears defensive lineman Austin Brooks. The fear is currently that Love suffered a concussion. Love left the game, was evaluated in the blue tent, and then he went into […]
Packers vs. Bears Discussion: Who will take control of the NFC North in Week 16?
As one famous Chicago sports icon once said, “let’s play two.” One big late-season rivalry game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears apparently wasn’t enough, so today we get a second one in just 13 days. The two teams will battle for the NFC North lead yet again tonight, with the winner set […]
Packers vs. Bears Inactives: Josh Jacobs will play
As expected, the Green Bay Packers will be down right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee) and safety Evan Williams (knee) against the Chicago Bears. Aside from them, though, the only player who is out for the Packers on Saturday due to injury is tight end Josh Whyle (concussion). The Packers didn’t bring up a practice squad […]
Packers RT Zach Tom, S Evan Williams expected to miss Bears game
FOX’s Jay Glazer is reporting that the Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom (knee/back) is expected to miss today’s game against the Chicago Bears, one that will likely decide the fate of the NFC North. Tom dropped out of last week’s game with a knee injury and didn’t return to action against the Denver […]
How game planning creates explosive passes on the Green Bay Packers’ defense
We broke down how the Denver Broncos took advantage of some of the schematic tendencies that Jeff Hafley and the Green Bay Packers defense rely on in a previous article. Here, we briefly want to cover some of the other ways head coach Sean Payton dissected the Packers’ defense. Payton and the Broncos offense relied […]
How the Broncos used motion to take advance of the Green Bay Packers’ defense
In the first part of our breakdown this week, we looked at how the Denver Broncos put stress on the Green Bay Packers’ defense in the Week 15 loss by using 4×1 formations. They probed the Packers’ alignments and found that the defense never traveled the nickel with the passing strength and always aligned them […]
How the Broncos’ offense put stress on an already strained Packers defense
In Week 15, the Green Bay Packers defense turned in perhaps its worst defensive performance of the season. The Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton found multiple ways to attack some of the schematic tendencies and personnel weaknesses the Packers’ defense suffers from. In addition to this, the defense lost Micah Parsons to an […]
Did the Bears Draft the Right Tight End After All?
With very limited exceptions I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to draft a tight end in the first round of the NFL draft. Even good ones often take some time to develop, and while elite, multi-faceted tight ends are incredibly valuable, you can get “good enough” production from the middle rounds with regularity. […]
A brief history of Saturday Packers football
You’re about to witness some of the rarest Packers football there is. In the glorious century since Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun brought the Packers into existence, the Packers have played just 32 Saturday games. That’s fourth most among days of the week. Sundays, obviously, are the most common games for Packers football. Counting […]
Packers vs. Bears Week 16 Game Info: Time, TV channel, odds, & more
Once more unto the breach. Today, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears meet for the second time in 13 days with the NFC North lead on the line once again. This evening’s game takes place at Soldier Field, a rare Saturday night regular season game and another rare game between these teams with massive […]
Bears Pro Bowler to be activated vs. Packers
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler is reporting that Chicago Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, a 2019 and 2020 Pro Bowler who signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Chicago in 2023, is expected to be activated from the injured reserve leading up to the Bears’ Saturday game against the Green Bay Packers. Edmunds has been dealing with a […]
NFL Draft: Round 1 College Playoff Discussion Thread
The college football playoff kicks off on Friday, so it’s time to break down who the top draft prospects are in these games. As always, the rankings come from the consensus draft board. Juniors will have one asterisk next to their name, while draft-eligible sophomores will have two. Come hang out with us during the […]
Packers activate Brenton Cox Jr. from injured reserve
The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that they have activated defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. from the injured reserve. Cox was in Week 3 of his 21-day practice window, so the team needed to bring him up to the 53-man roster soon or he would have reverted to injured reserve for the remainder of […]
Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper need career games against the Bears
To say that the Green Bay Packers’ defense is banged up would be an understatement. On top of losing superstar pass rusher in Micah Parsons to a torn ACL, the Packers also lost their ascending safety in Evan Williams on the very same play last week against the Denver Broncos. While Williams is officially listed […]
Packers’ 1000-yard receiver drought is one of the longest in the NFL
A pass catcher putting up a 1000-yard season isn’t particularly rare in Packers history. It’s happened 40 times in more than a century of Packers football, dating back to Don Hutson’s 1,211 yards in 1942. But there won’t be a 1000-yard receiver in Green Bay in 2025, not unless Romeo Doubs really picks up the […]
Green Bay Packers News: Expectations are high for Micah Parsons’ return
Call it a silver lining or a light at the end of the tunnel or whatever other metaphor you’d like, but at least the Green Bay Packers got a bit of encouraging news late Thursday night. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the team got the best news they could hope for following Parsons’ diagnosis […]
Packers Super Bowl Odds: Champions that had longer shots than Green Bay
There’s been a lot of doom and gloom in here since the Micah Parsons injury, for good reason, but let’s look for optimism for the Green Bay Packers this year. There are still three more games left in the regular season, with the potential for the Packers to secure a playoff spot as early as […]
