Green Bay Packers News: Packers trying to dig out of a hole
You’ve got no shortage of bad things to choose from during the early days of the season, but one of the worst things about the Packers stumbling out of the gate is that everyone else in the NFC North has as well. The Vikings lost their starting quarterback early in Week 1, but the Packers […]
The Packers’ offensive line renovation is wild and unprecedented
I can’t talk about the Packers’ offensive line renovations without using hyperbolic language. You generally want to avoid descriptors like “desperate” and “panicked” and “last-ditch attempt to save their season and their jobs,” when trying to write anything resembling sober, reasoned analysis of a team. For one thing, it’s rarely that serious. For another, it […]
Packers sign Wisconsin native Kevin Zeitler in latest OL move
A prodigal son is coming home. Kevin Zeitler, a 14-year veteran and Pro Bowl right guard, is returning back to the state of Wisconsin to sign with the Green Bay Packers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Packers are signing Zeitler on Wednesday, one day after he worked out for the team. Zeitler, who comes […]
Packers bring in former Pro Bowl OL Kevin Zeitler for a visit
The Green Bay Packers brought in guard Kevin Zeitler for a visit on Tuesday. Zeitler has been a popular name floated around by the fanbase, as the former Wisconsin Badger was able to earn Pro Bowl honors back in 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens. Zeitler is currently a free agent after spending the last two […]
Micah Parsons’ ACL recovery is taking longer than the Packers’ previous injuries
Every injury is unique, so considering all ACL injuries to be the same already is a losing pursuit, but it’s worth pointing out that Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons’ ACL recovery is taking longer than similar injuries the team has suffered in the past. Going into the year, I assumed that Parsons’ injury […]
Green Bay Packers Discussion: Predict the Packers’ record after Week 5
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Packers fans and fans across the country. The Green Bay Packers are a bad team right now. They’re 1-2, with their only win coming in overtime against another bad team in the New […]
NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Where do the Green Bay Packers stand?
Now that there have been three weeks of NFL action in the books, let’s take a look at what national media outlets think of this year’s Green Bay Packers team. Obviously, we all expected more from the Packers this year, as the team has gone 1-2 during their “easy” stretch of the schedule, and Green […]
The Packers’ running game is historically bad
We’ve talked about the offensive line ad nauseum (Latin for “until it makes you barf on your pants”) here at Acme Packing Company, and every statistic we dig up is more ad nauseating than the last. I’ve mostly been focused on the passing game because I will be sad if Jordan Love dies or becomes […]
Packers-Bears game in Week 5 flexed to Noon Central kickoff
When the NFL released its 2026 regular season schedule, one of the premier games on the docket was in Week 5 when the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears. With the two teams splitting the 2025 regular season series and playing a thriller in the Wild Card round, FOX chose to make the first […]
Green Bay Packers News: Brian Gutekunst makes an attempt to fix offensive line
Offensive line? Yeah, consider that fixed. The Packers have signed not one (Cordell Volson), not two (Laken Tomlinson), but three (Mekhi Becton) linemen that nobody else wanted to put on their 53-man roster. Checkmate, everybody else. Contender status has been restored in Green Bay. Color me underwhelmed by the Packers’ sudden urgent desire to fix […]
Packers Roster Update: Green Bay reshuffles roster for OL additions
This week, the Green Bay Packers added Laken Tomlinson, formerly on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad, to their 53-man roster, and Mekhi Becton Sr., previously on the street, to their practice squad. With a full roster, both on the 53 and practice squad, the Packers needed to make two corresponding roster moves to make room […]
Packers will face rookie QB Jalen Daniels for Buccaneers in Week 4
On Monday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers confirmed what football fans expected: Baker Mayfield will miss the team’s Week 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers due to a dislocated thumb. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles confirmed the injury to the media in his Monday press conference, and said that they expect Mayfield to be out […]
A history of Mekhi Becton, the Packers’ latest offensive line addition
The Packers are making a big move in signing Mekhi Becton, but then again, every move involving Becton is big. He’s a massive human being even in a game dominated by other massive human beings. That’s the book on Becton: he’s monstrously big, but the eternally open question is whether or not he can parlay […]
Packers keep adding veteran offensive linemen by signing Mekhi Becton
At least this can be said for the Green Bay Packers’ front office: they are trying to do something to address the team’s issues on the offensive line. A few days after signing former Pro Bowl guard Laken Tomlinson off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad over the weekend, the Packers are adding another former first-round […]
Green Bay Packers News: Do the Packers actually have some get-right games coming?
The Green Bay Packers have been hammered by injuries to start this season, particularly on the offensive line. That has led to a 1-2 start with Jordan Love taking 8 sacks through three games — a number that could well be more with how much pressure his line has allowed in front of him. However, […]
Baker Mayfield dislocated his thumb on his throwing hand on Sunday
The Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, the 0-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, faced some tough news in the fourth quarter of their loss to the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings: Their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield, dropped out of action with a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand, according to Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Mayfield went 17 of […]
Rapoport: Josh Jacobs’ return is not imminent
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport gave us an update on where the league stands on Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs on Sunday. According to Rapoport, the league has officially filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department for previously sealed evidence in Jacobs’ case, where he plead no contest to […]
MarShawn Lloyd on pace to be one of Packers’ least productive leading rushers
The Packers’ ground game has been bad through three weeks. Historically bad. In three games, the Packers have produced just 146 rushing yards as a team, an average of just over 48 yards per game. MarShawn Lloyd has produced the lion’s share of that total, piling up a staggering 68 yards so far this season. […]
Packers Film Room: Christian Watson gets into the end zone
Last week I joked that we may have a weekly article that simply broke down the Christian Watson TD that week. Since Watson got into the end zone again for the Green Bay Packers – bringing his total to 4 on the season – I guess we need to keep the bit going. We’re actually […]
Packers sign guard Laken Tomlinson from Cowboys’ practice squad
After three weeks and three disastrous performances from the offensive line, the Packers are finally adding some help. According to a joint report from Ian Rapoport and Mike Clemens, the Packers are signing guard Laken Tomlinson from the Cowboys’ practice squad. A first round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015, Tomlinson has a wealth […]
The Packer Situation is Apocalyptic
It’s easy to overreact to a small sample of three games, but I don’t think the title of this post is an overreaction. One of the reasons I don’t think it’s an overreaction is that I still believe the Green Bay Packers have a high number of extremely talented players on their team. I do […]
Packers Discussion: How would you fix the offensive line?
Unfortunately, this might end up being a weekly post at this point. Real simple question: How would you fix the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line? Personally, I don’t think the team is going to make a coaching change in-season. I also don’t really think that a short-term free agent addition fixes what is going to […]
How Matt LaFleur stacks up to other coaches at the end of their Packers tenure
Since Vince Lombardi left the Packers’ sidelines, 10 different men have been the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. Of those, only two have one titles, and all of their tenures have ended badly. This isn’t surprising. The Tom Cruise quote from Cocktail is accurate: everything ends badly, otherwise it would never end. Of […]
Packers Film Room: Building off Dash
Over the first couple of weeks of the season, we’ve seen the Green Bay Packers working Dash motion into their offense. It’s been primarily used in one specific way in the run game. We talked about that last week, but let’s show it again here. “Dash” involves a TE arcing back in motion before the […]
Packers Film Room: Long snapping on kicks in Week 3
In this space, we look at the snap-to-hold operation on field goals and extra points. We only have 3 that we’re looking at this week, but we get an interesting look from the Falcons field goal block unit that we’ll take a slightly deeper look at. But, for starters, how was the snap location this […]
