Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will be relatively unrecognizable when they face off on Sunday Night Football this week. Neither team will be wearing their classic uniforms, which, to me, is a little disappointing in a matchup between two massive brands. The Packers will be wearing their all white “Winter Warning” uniforms, which […]
In 2020, Electronic Arts extended its exclusive-rights deal with the NFL for the Madden video game series. The extension was through 2026. Much like an NFL contract, however, an in-season extension was expected for this year. Insider Gaming reported back in July that a deal was in the works that included EA actually looking to […]
I know Green Bay Packers fans are desperately searching for a potential trade candidate at either defensive tackle or cornerback to give this team a shot in the arm in the second half of the 2025 regular season. Thankfully, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Matt Bowen talked about the trade deadline this week and named their […]
In his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt will return to action today. Wyatt injured his knee in back-to-back games in Weeks 3 and 4, ultimately missing games in Week 6 and 7 after Green Bay’s Week 5 bye week. Since then, Wyatt […]
On Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons set a career-high with three sacks in the Packers’ 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Unsurprisingly, that dominant performance has earned attention from the NFL as a whole; on Wednesday, the league announced that Parsons has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for week […]
The Packers’ win over the Cardinals has spawned no end of takes. It was a very Rorschach test of a game — people see what they want to see. Without weighing in on the overall quality of the game or the win, here’s my perspective: this was a game where the Packers’ best players made […]
If you thought that this might be the week that the Green Bay Packers would be underdogs in the eyes of the sportsbooks, think again. Yes, the Packers are on the road this week, and yes, they are playing a 4-2 team in the Pittsburgh Steelers — a team that employs one Aaron Rodgers at […]
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 […]
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. […]
Even though the Green Bay Packers continue to win football games to the tune of the NFC-leading record going into Week 8, national analysts don’t seem to be buying the hype around the team. In fact, in the 11 power rankings that we’ve been tracking, the Packers actually fell in 7 of them, were unmoved […]
It wasn’t always pretty (particularly in the first half), but the Green Bay Packers pulled out an ugly victory over the Arizona Cardinals in week 7 to get to a 4-1-1 record. As we do every week, we’re taking a look at the performance of the passing game. So let’s stop talking about it and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
On Sunday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers ensured that they will hold on to a lead in the NFC North division for at least another week. Their 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals moved them to 4-1-1 on the season and will keep them no worse than the #2 seed in the NFC. Where Green […]
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: […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
For the most part, the teams at the top of the NFC won in Week 7, and the teams at the bottom of the conference lost. Among the top 10 seeded teams, those who played all won their games this week. Meanwhile, all of the teams ranked 11th or lower lost in Week 7. There […]
The goal in the NFL is to go 1-0 every week, and this week, the Green Bay Packers are 1-0. Now, is a 27-23 nail biter against the Arizona Cardinals ideal? No, especially when it comes against backup QB Jacoby Brissett. Do I care? A little bit! Let’s unpack this week’s winners and losers from […]
Let’s go through a position-by-position breakdown of the Green Bay Packers’ snap counts in their win over the Arizona Cardinals. There are some notable changes to how the team is using its players, particularly in the secondary. As always, the numbers are only associated with offensive and defensive snaps, with special teams snaps coming in […]
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 […]
