Packers preseason star Kyle McCord traded to Miami Dolphins
You could argue that no one had a better preseason for the Green Bay Packers than quarterback Kyle McCord, who was able to put up a 102.4 passer rating after completing 46 of 70 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns. McCord had a fairly quick rise in Green Bay, as he was battling for […]
Packers’ special teams units passed their preseason test
The Packers’ renovated their special teams operation this offseason, and their reworked approach is already paying dividends. Gone is Rich Bisaccia, embattled coordinator of (kind of) underperforming special teams units. Now those phases of the game fall under the purview of Cam Achord, recently of the New York Giants. How are things going so far? […]
Green Bay Packers will have 2nd shot at running back Damon Bankston
If you’re an avid reader of Acme Packing Company, you know that I feel like the Green Bay Packers show their cards a bit when it comes to pre-draft visitors. Since 2022, when the Packers appeared to have changed their visit strategy from almost being used exclusively on undrafted free agent rookie recruiting to more […]
Packers Discussion: Who do you think makes the team?
I know we’re all sort of just refreshing the news right now to see who will get cut and who will be kept by the Green Bay Packers, so I wanted to open a discussion post for us to talk about the roster cutdown generally. Feel free to drop your own 53-man roster prediction in […]
NFL Waiver Rules & Order: Packers sit 20th at cutdown deadline
The NFL’s roster cut deadline is fast approaching, and with it comes one of the more convoluted and hectic days of the league’s schedule. Sunday’s cut-down leads to chaos the following day, when players subject to waivers can either be claimed by new teams or become free agents. At that time, teams will also begin […]
Packers wide receivers make their cases in final preseason game
Earlier in the preseason I suggested the Packers open up their wide receiver competition. I don’t know if the Packers’ brass got the message, but the receivers on the lower end of the roster certainly lived up to their end of the bargain. The third preseason game was a 60 minute wide receiver showcase, with […]
Green Bay Packers Roster: A final 2026 53-man prediction
Alright, here’s my final stab at the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster before Sunday’s cutdowns. As a reminder, this prediction is mostly based on the work I’ve done on the Packers’ depth chart, and there weren’t huge changes to the pecking order in Green Bay’s preseason finale — where 37 players sat against the Arizona […]
Packers Preseason Game 3: Some statistical nuggets vs. the Cardinals
“Did you all see that awesome preseason game,” is not something I am in the habit of saying, yet here we are. It was an instant (preseason) classic: a 42-38 barn-burner that saw the Green Bay Packers score twice in the final 3-and-a-half minutes to take home a win. We’re going to try something this […]
Matt LaFleur: Packers ‘fully anticipate’ RB Josh Jacobs to remain on roster
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about starting running back Josh Jacobs’ standing with the club, following Thursday’s news that Jacobs was officially being charged with battery and criminal damage to property, after the Packers’ win on Friday against the Arizona Cardinals. He didn’t leave any grey area in his response: “I […]
Packers-Cardinals Preseason Final Score, Recap: Kyle McCord wills Green Bay to victory
The Green Bay Packers won a thriller, if there can ever be one in August, in their preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Mike LaFleur, trying to best his older brother, called two timeouts in the final five seconds of the game, trying to set up a Hail Mary after receiver KiSean Johnson’s second fourth-quarter […]
Packers vs. Cardinals Preseason Game #3 Discussion
The joint practices are over — now it’s time for an actual game. Well, a preseason game, at least. That’s what awaits the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals tonight at Lambeau Field as the LaFleur brothers’ teams meet in their final games before the start of the regular season. The Packers are 1-1 in […]
Packers fans should be watching Pierre Strong in the preseason finale
Pierre Strong was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft after an incredible final season at South Dakota State, when he carried the football 240 times for 1686 yards and 18 touchdowns. In his draft guide, The Beast, Dane Brugler had him as a likely fifth rounder […]
Packers Film Room, Preseason Week 2: Emptying the Notebook on the Offense
During the season, I tend to dig into either specific plays or look at some of the bigger picture takeaways. Scheme and gameplan and blah blah blah. The preseason is different because those things don’t really matter. I’m more concerned with how individual players looked. So I watch a ton of players, taking notes and […]
Tyrod Taylor vs. Kyle McCord: The Case Against Each Packers QB
A few days ago, I tried with all my might to make the case for why each of Tyrod Taylor and Kyle McCord are worthy of being the Green Bay Packers QB2. Dear reader, there was a reason that article was like 300 words long. With one preseason game left for the Packers, the team […]
Green Bay Packers News: Green Bay becomes the city of brotherly love for a day
You may have heard that there’s a family reunion happening in Green Bay this week. Have you heard about this? Apparently Matt LaFleur and his younger brother Mike are both NFL head coaches, and their teams are playing each other for the first time. I’m sure this is news to everyone reading this. The LaFleur […]
Packers vs. Cardinals Preseason Week 3: Game time, how to watch, streaming, & more
Just sixty more minutes of preseason football remain before the Green Bay Packers can move on to the business of games whose final results matter. Tonight, the Packers host their one and only home preseason game, welcoming the Arizona Cardinals into Lambeau Field for the teams’ exhibition finale. The two squads, coached by brothers Matt […]
Packers RB Josh Jacobs charged with battery and criminal damage to property
The Brown County District Attorney’s Office announced on Thursday that the county has officially charged Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs after he was initially arrested for a domestic abuse complaint back in May. Jacobs was let out of county jail after a short stint this spring, as the county continued to investigate the […]
Green Bay Packers to sign TE Jonnu Smith
NFL insider Jordan Schultz is reporting that the Green Bay Packers are signing tight end Jonnu Smith, who has previous experience playing for Packers head coach Matt LaFleur when they were together with the Tennessee Titans. This report has been confirmed by other news breakers like ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Smith will join the Packers on […]
Green Bay Packers News: Keisean Nixon is going to play. A lot.
There’s a version of the Keisean Nixon conversation that has been playing on loop in the greater Packers chattersphere: He misses a tackle, gets flagged, gives up a completion, or maybe shows poor effort in a preseason game, and suddenly the question becomes why the Packers keep him around at all. That criticism isn’t entirely […]
The Packers’ Disney Draft Pick vs. Every Opponent on the 2026 Schedule
With the big game set to air on ABC and ESPN in February, the NFL announced a collaboration with Disney as part of Disney and ESPN’s “Year of the Super Bowl.” The press release shares that the organizations teamed up with Champion and Fanatics for a “draft” that paired a Disney-owned icon with each NFL […]
Packers-Cardinals joint practice: Live updates
Since today’s practice is a different vibe than the rest of the Green Bay Packers’ practices so far this summer, as the Arizona Cardinals are in town for the final day of training camp, I figured that we should have a different type of practice post up on the site today. Instead of doing a […]
Niche CBA rule unlikely to impact Packers roster at cutdowns
With the preseason nearly over and cutdowns on the horizon, very little on the Green Bay Packers’ roster seems up for much debate. Like most years, it’s about weighing keeping an extra receiver or an extra defensive back, or to keep nine or ten offensive lineman. Most of these decisions, particularly at the non-line positions, […]
Green Bay Packers News: Final roster work underway as training camp winds down
For the players who find themselves on the roster bubble, it’s getting to be about that time. The Packers have joint practices with the Cardinals this week and a preseason game on Friday, and then it’s cutdown weekend; the Packers will trim their roster to 53 players by early Sunday evening. Suffice it to say, […]
Explaining the Green Bay Packers’ new 3-safety package
I’ve been getting some questions about the Green Bay Packers’ “three-safety package,” and how it’s different — if at all — from the team’s Nickel package. After all, if we’re playing a third safety in the slot in Nickel, a role that Javon Bullard has usually played, then how is this package any different? I’m […]
2024 Cardinals defense: Jonathan Gannon’s most consistent season
As I explored the data around new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan’s Gannon’s Cardinals defense, it appeared to me that 2024 was their most consistent year. Largely because they relied more on early down zone coverage for the entire year, unlike 2023. And if 2023 was about how much zone the Cardinals could run, […]
