Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
I probably don’t need to tell you that the Green Bay Packers have a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Monday night. As I try to do every week, I took a look at how the Packers could attack this Eagles defense. I tend to start with numbers, then watch some film after that. […]

There’s a lot of ink being spilled about whether or not Matthew Golden, the Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick, is being used correctly due to “his lack of production” through the first half of his rookie NFL season. Are those expectations realistic, though? I want to take a look at that today. So far in […]

Unless the Packers have a truly catastrophic end to this season, I don’t think there’s any real chance Matt LaFleur is going to get fired. There’s been plenty of discussion about LaFleur’s employment prospects with the Packers this week, but the reality is there’s probably not much upside to making that change now, and it […]

The Green Bay Packers’ offense already looked like it needed a jolt of creativity in the run game before last Sunday’s upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, but the events of that game made it an absolute necessity. Between a dismal 13-point performance and an abhorrent 1-for-5 day trying to score touchdowns in the red […]

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has been playing very poorly this season, a point of frustration for fans who watched McManus’ injury replacement, Lucas Havrisik, set the franchise record for the longest field goal made in club history at 61 yards in his last appearance with the team. Since returning from injury, McManus has […]

Coming off of his team’s bye week, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni fielded many questions about new additions to his squad’s roster, including cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II and pass-rushers Jaelan Phillips and Brandon Graham, but Sirianni did have a little time to talk about his team’s next opponent, the Green Bay […]

I am especially sick of bubble screens, but regular screens aren’t always the best, either! Such was the case early in the fourth quarter on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers faced third and three from the Carolina Panthers’ eight-yard line, threatening to score and tie the game at 13. The Packers love screens of […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t shy away from the idea of a kicking competition this week. As it stands right now, the Packers are the lone team in the NFL that carries two kickers on their active roster — Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik — which started in Week 6. This year, […]

Not all injury-related news has to be bad news, as tough as that may be to believe for Green Bay Packers fans this year. On Thursday, the Packers actually got four players back who were either injured in the team’s last game against the Carolina Panthers or missed the game entirely. According to Packers.com’s Weston […]

It’s been a rough week for Green Bay Packers fans. They fell to the Carolina Panthers in what can only be described as a trap game — an unfortunate specialty of head coach Matt LaFleur at this point. Then came the news that tight end Tucker Kraft—currently leading the team in receiving, YAC, and receiving touchdowns—was […]

I wanted to take a deeper dive into the data this week to learn something about the Green Bay Packers. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like Rashan Gary has been very effective this year, despite posting 7.5 sacks. For all the talk about how Gary was going to get more one-on-one opportunities with the […]

The trade deadline came and went without the Green Bay Packers making another big swing, but there are still a handful of holes that general manager Brian Gutekunst will need to address this offseason in order to be a legitimate contender in 2026 and beyond. While the Packers don’t have a first-round pick in the […]

I tell you, I’ve seen more frustrating games, but I really can’t remember when (Week 3 of this year, actually). Watching live, this felt like a game where the Green Bay Packers just kept shooting themselves in the foot, and I haven’t seen many stats since then that have suggested otherwise. Looking at this drive […]

After going through the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Carolina Panthers a couple of times, I’ve had a few things stand out to me. Some of those things are good, and some are bad (that’s generally the way all games go). Today, I wanted to focus on something that was of particular interest to […]

The Packers didn’t make any big moves to bolster their roster at this year’s trade deadline, but you’re a living Packers fan, so you’re not surprised by that. True to form, the Packers will work to fix what ails them internally and with small moves that may become available. They’ll try to figure out what […]

The Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Carolina Panthers was a very painful rewatch, filled with self-inflicted wounds by the Packers. Maybe you don’t want to re-live it, but I had to, to figure out what sort of changes Green Bay made to their depth chart and game plan this weekend. So here is the […]

According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Green Bay Packers remain interested in signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., one of the top free agents in last spring’s class who has yet to sign with a team. Samuel has recently been cleared after undergoing a spine fusion this offseason, after playing just four games for […]

The Green Bay Packers have signed two players to their practice squad on the day of the NFL trade deadline: tight end McCallan Castles and receiver Michael Woods II.
