Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The Packers announced themselves as Super Bowl contenders in late August with their trade for Micah Parsons. Now, nearly four months later, everything is more or less going according to plan. Parsons is having a great year, and so are the Packers. At 9-3-1, they’re atop the NFC North and firmly in contention to be […]
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. A sweep of all three other NFC North teams in the span of three games has […]
The referee for the Green Bay Packers’ matchup against the Denver Broncos will be Brad Rogers, who holds an interesting designation going into this week. No referee in the NFL throws more flags on the away team, which in this case would be the Packers, relative to the home team than Rogers’ crew. Right now, […]
This week’s Green Bay Packers depth chart update is going to be a little longer than usual, because we’ll be covering what happened in both Week 13 and Week 14. Because of that, I split this up into offense and defense (for this week only), so keep an eye out for the companion piece out […]
I’m running out of superlatives for Christian Watson. A little more than two weeks ago, I wrote about Watson’s resurgence after his torn ACL. Since then, he’s gone ahead and gotten even better, hauling in eight catches for 169 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. Week over week he continues to improve […]
Back in Week 11, I wrote about Christian Watson’s two-touchdown game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver followed that up with a 5-catch, 49-yard game against the Vikings and a 4-catch, 80-yard, 1-TD game against the Lions on Thanksgiving. With Watson fully integrated into the offense after returning from his […]
The Green Bay Packers are back where they should be atop the NFC North after their win over the Chicago Bears. they sit second in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams remain in first place after their win, moving to 10-3. The Seattle Seahawks tied them but they are in the same division and the […]
The NFL brings its week 14 schedule to a close this evening on Monday Night Football with an NFC-AFC matchup of teams in the playoff hunt. The Philadelphia Eagles make their second appearance on Monday Night Football this season, having previously played at Lambeau Field in Week 10. This week, they head much farther west […]
Following the loss of defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who had previously started for the Green Bay Packers in the under tackle position, the Packers signed two defensive tackles last week: Jordon Riley and Quinton Bohanna. Both Riley, poached from the New York Giants’ practice squad, and Bohanna, claimed on waivers via the Seattle Seahawks, are […]
To make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers waived receiver Malik Heath, who had been with the team for three years, last week. The Packers likely wanted Heath to return to the team on the practice squad, considering his experience with the squad, but that […]
The NFL has released its second batch of Pro Bowl votes for the 2025 season, which now includes 17 Green Bay Packers who have earned top-10 status at their individual positions, up from 15 last week. As a reminder, Pro Bowl voting is open for the next week. If you want to vote, you can […]
The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one. Now, Green Bay has two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen to them again […]
Very little of Keisean Nixon’s time in Green Bay has gone according to plan. When Nixon was signed in 2022, he wasn’t supposed to be the Packers’ top cornerback. He wasn’t supposed to be a regular contributor as a slot defender. He wasn’t even supposed to be a kick returner. He was supposed to be […]
Yes, the Green Bay Packers are 9-3-1, and yes, they just took the lead in the NFC North division with a big home win over the Chicago Bears. Yes, they currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Even with those caveats, it was still a bit surprising to see the Packers installed as […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to play some of their best football when it matters most. After their 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, Green Bay has now swept the other three teams in the NFC North over the last three weeks, dispatching the Vikings, Lions, and Bears in order. That stretch […]
Bear down! By 7, to be precise! The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met for the first time this season in a highly anticipated matchup at Lambeau Field, with first place in the NFC North on the line. After the Packers’ 28-21 victory, they now sit at 9-3-1 and currently hold the #2 spot […]
The Green Bay Packers are back at the top of the NFC North after their win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Before we start breaking down any analysis from this game, let’s take a look at the team’s snap counts to set the table for the week ahead. With some key players returning from […]
In a game with mental errors, missed plays on the ball, and what could have been a second-half collapse by the defense, Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon redeemed himself in the best way possible on Sunday night. The Chicago Bears were driving down the field looking to tie (or potentially win with a two-point […]
It was a back-and-forth affair, but the Green Bay Packers showed why they are the team to beat in the NFC North on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21, getting a go-ahead touchdown from Josh Jacobs with under four minutes left and a game-sealing interception from Keisean Nixon in the end zone […]
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are duking it out for the right to hold the top position in the NFC North. While the Detroit Lions still have a slim chance of impacting the NFC North race, this will probably come down to the Packers and Bears, who are going to play their first […]
I think the Green Bay Packers are better than the Chicago Bears in a vacuum. However, I can’t make myself fully optimistic about the Week 14 game because I keep coming back to the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers REALLY remind me of the Bears, especially on offense, and the Packers really struggled with the Panthers […]
On this fine Sunday afternoon, Green Bay Packers fans will need to wait a little longer to see their team play. The Packers’ big game against the Chicago Bears was flexed from a 12:00 noon Central Time start into the 3:25 PM window, giving it a much wider audience nationwide as the two teams battle […]
For the first time in a long, long time, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will meet late in the season with the winner guaranteed to have the lead in the NFC North division. Today’s game, which the NFL moved from an early kickoff into the late afternoon slate, is the first such game […]
The Green Bay Packers had one more week before they had to make a decision to bring receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) up to the 53-man active roster, but the team elected to activate him from the injured reserve the day before they take on the Chicago Bears. On the injury report this week, Reed, who […]
We’re finally at conference championship Saturday, when all the debates about who should be in or out of the playoff can finally end. All of the Power 4 have their championship games today, after most of the Group of 5 played their games last night. Congrats to Tulane, James Madison, Kennesaw State and Boise State […]
