Packers Top Plays of 2025, #6: Christian Watson takes a slant to the house
The first week of APC’s top plays of 2025 countdown concludes with a look at play number six, which came in a crucial late-season divisional matchup. The Game After finishing off their season sweep of the Lions the week before (in an impressive showing on Thanksgiving), the Packers faced the Bears for their first showdown […]
Green Bay Packers News: Love vs. man coverage; all quiet on the defensive front
The Green Bay Packers, like many teams in 2025, had great success attacking defenses when they played man coverage. The increased use of pre-snap motion has increased the passing game’s efficiency against man in recent years, and the Packers are certainly one of the teams to lean into that approach most prominently. But no single […]
Top running backs of all-time: 5 Packers crack top-100 list
Last year, Windy City Gridiron’s Bill Zimmerman ranked the top 100 quarterbacks of all time, which featured former Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the seventh-ranked player on the list. This summer, Zimmerman tackled the running back position, this time with a more analytical approach. Zimmerman ranked backs on a point system (within tiers), […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #7: Tucker Kraft caps career day with second TD
Acme Packing Company’s Top Plays of 2025 countdown continues today with play number 7. Week 8 of the 2025 season was Tucker Kraft’s masterclass. He had his first career 100-yard game in the Green Bay Packers’ week two win against Washington, but National Tight End day brought his game to a different level. Against the […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Edge Rushers
Obviously, the biggest questions about the Green Bay Packers’ edge rusher unit all revolve around Micah Parsons. When will he return? What will he look like when he’s back on the field? Who will step up in his place until he comes back? Beyond the Parsons of it all, let’s take a look at the […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #8: Lucas Havrisik sets a Packers record
The next installment of our 2025 top plays looks at one of the most impressive individual moments of the season: when a lowly practice squad kicker turned loose the kick of his life and set a Packers record. The Packers’ kicking game has been wandering through the wilderness after Mason Crosby’s departure. Nobody has been […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Matthew Golden looking for a better second year
I’m not sure what I expect from Matthew Golden in year two, but I think I have a lot of good company when I say that I expect his 2026 season to be better than 2025. What does “better” actually look like? More counting stats, to be sure, but beyond that point is where I […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: 4th & Short
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 9th article in the series, where we’re looking at 4th & Short (where “Short” […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #9: LaFleur trusts Love & Kraft on 4th down
The next installment of the Packers’ Top Plays of 2025 looks at a massive late-game 4th down conversion that helped earn Green Bay a win early on in the season. Matt LaFleur’s career as a decision-maker has had a few phases. Early on, he epitomized the “All Gas, No Brake” mentality that he preached, proving […]
Tuesday Cheese Curds: Christian Watson connects with his past to build toward future
We’re in the throes of the deadest of dead periods on the NFL calendar, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing interesting going on. Now is prime time for the human interest aspects of NFL reporting to surface. There’s plenty to choose from this time of year. You always hear stories about how a certain player […]
Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, and opportunity cost
Opportunity cost is a real problem for football teams, especially ones built like the Packers. In the Jordan Love era, the Packers have never really been short of offensive talent. Sure, it’s often been a challenge to have all of that talent on the field together, but in the aggregate, it’s never been an issue. […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #10: Dontayvion Wicks puts the Lions on notice
As we turn toward the 2026 season, it’s time to take a short look back at 2025. Over the past few weeks, the APC staff has been voting on and discussing the Packers’ top 10 plays of 2025, and we’re happy to unveil our list starting with number 10, when Dontayvion Wicks showed the whole […]
Green Bay Packers News: Packers need Jordan Morgan to be ready at left tackle
When the Green Bay Packers take the field in September for the start of the regular season, they will have a new starting left tackle. With Rasheed Walker moving on in free agency, the team is finally going to hand the reins over to former first-round draft pick Jordan Morgan, who has more time at […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025: Honorable Mentions
On Monday, Acme Packing Company will begin our countdown of the Top Plays of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season. The list will officially start with play #10 as voted on by our contributors, but before we get to the top ten, it’s time to look at a few plays that just barely missed the […]
Green Bay Packers News: 2026 is the Year of the Tucker Takeover
A former Green Bay Packers tight end once had a slogan: “Year of the Takeover,” abbreviated to YOTTO. Jermichael Finley was a productive, playmaking tight end during his brief career, to be sure, but the promised takeover never quite arrived, with his 2011 season being his high-water mark (55 catches, 767 yards, 8 TDs). That […]
How the Packers’ UDFA guarantees stack up to the rest of the NFL
Now that minicamps have concluded, we finally have an official record of all of the contracts that undrafted free agents have signed this draft cycle. Yes, it does take this long for all of the official numbers to be reported in. We’ve touched on some of the numbers that the Green Bay Packers’ undrafted free […]
NFL announces dates for 2027 draft
Draft season has officially bled into May. On Thursday, the NFL announced the dates of the 2027 draft, which will be held in Washington, D.C. The draft will stretch from April 29th to May 1st. This will be the first time that the draft has spilled over into May since 2021, the first post-Covid draft. […]
Packers News: Should TE Luke Musgrave be on the trading block?
The Green Bay Packers drafted Luke Musgrave in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. At the time, they obviously envisioned a dynamic pass-catching tight end who could stretch defenses and become a featured weapon in Matt LaFleur’s offense. Three years later, it’s fair to say he’s disappointed, particularly compared to his counterpart, Tucker […]
The gap in the tight end market is starting to fill: What it means for Tucker Kraft
Prior to Tuesday, there were no tight ends in the NFL who were on multi-year contracts that averaged between $19 million per year and $13.3 million per year. As you can imagine, that was a pretty significant gap in the market for teams, players and representation to operate in. Then, Kyle Pitts signed a three-year, […]
Packers tackle depth will be tested in 2026
The Packers have gone through a lot of offensive line turnover in the still pretty young Jordan Love era. Of the five linemen who blocked for Love in Week 1 of the 2023 season, just one (Zach Tom) is still on the roster, and his availability is somewhat in doubt for the early portions of […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Defensive Line
Let’s finally turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball in our positional preview series. First up is the interior defensive line, where the Green Bay Packers’ new 3-4 defense should help the run game that seemed to wear down as games progressed in 2025. Still, there are some personnel questions going into […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Packers again banking on internal growth
I wrote yesterday about the Packers’ supposedly being one of the losers of the NFL’s offseason, which, while not exactly a widespread talking point, has certainly popped up here and there for the last few months. Obviously I am not amenable to that position. I don’t think the Packers have had a uniquely bad offseason, […]
The NFL declines Brendan Sorsby’s supplemental draft request
Former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who was banned from the NCAA after a record of gambling on his own team dating back to his days as a backup at Indiana was discovered, applied for the NFL’s supplemental draft a couple of weeks ago after he ended a series of legal challenges against the NCAA. […]
Kyle Pitts signs extension, doesn’t reset tight end market
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that the Atlanta Falcons have reached a three-year, $54 million extension with tight end Kyle Pitts, who was previously on a one-year franchise tag that would have paid him $15 million. Over the course of three years, Pitts will now be paid an average of $18 million per year. […]
Breaking down the Packers’ dynamic duos
Carter Bahns of CBS Sports recently broke down several of the NFL’s top “dynamic duos,” but sadly, no Packers made the cut. That’s not to say there aren’t dynamic pairs of Packers. Plenty of high-performing Packers players come in pairs, and their partnerships could power positive…outcomes (okay, I ran out of words that start with […]
