The Green Bay Packers made one clear benching against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while they opened up competitions at two other positions. On top of that, the team returned receiver Christian Watson and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt from injury. So how do all of these pieces of the puzzle fit in? Let’s go position-by-position through the […]

As far as made-up holidays go, National Tight End Day isn’t too bad. At the position, there were some standout performances in Week 8, but none matched Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft’s seven receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

It didn’t end up mattering at the end, but for the first half of the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it looked like kicker Brandon McManus was going to cost them the game. McManus was essentially responsible for a nine-point swing in the first half. A missed 57-yard field goal came up […]

During his time with the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his belt celebration famous. So famous that opposing defenders often mimic the celebration on sacks and interceptions. Rodgers usually got the last laugh, though, as the Packers frequently won games when defenders decided to bust out “The Belt.” That didn’t stop Green Bay […]

For the first time in over a month, there is no football on early this Sunday morning. The NFL gets a break from its games in Europe this week and next before resuming in week 10. But that means that today is a conventional, three timeslot Sunday, though few of the games on the afternoon […]

One might expect that an NFL team that has the fewest losses in its conference and currently holds the #1 seed would inspire plenty of confidence in their fans and in the broader NFL community. For the Green Bay Packers, however, that is not yet the case. To be sure, the Packers have been inconsistent […]

In the last article, we covered the six defensive sacks in the Packers 27-23 week seven win over the Cardinals. While the sacks were impressive in their own way and helped the defense achieve the end result, a few of the sacks simply didn’t matter because of explosive pass plays given up on the same […]

The Packers came from behind on Sunday to win 27-23 over the Cardinals, a game which they did not lead until late in the 4th quarter and the defense was both a burden at times and a savior at others. The positive: the defense recorded six sacks and pressured quarterback Jacoby Brissett on 19 of […]

The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have activated receiver Christian Watson from the physically unable to perform list. That gives the team much-needed breathing room at the receiver position going into their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the lack of an elevation of a practice squad receiver probably means that rookie […]

Ring the alarms. The Green Bay Packers’ receiver position is going to get very weird against the Pittsburgh Steelers. As it stands, following the Packers’ final injury report of the week, receiver Jayden Reed is on the injured reserve, Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out and both Matthew Golden (hip) and Christian Watson (knee) […]

So far in 2025, sportsbooks have installed the Green Bay Packers as favorites in all three of their road games. None of those games have ended with the Packers covering the spread, and the team has gone just 1-1-1 away from Lambeau Field so far this season. That record will be put to the test […]

Wait, the Green Bay Packers went down?! I mean, it wasn’t the best win ever, but it was still a win, right? Yes, it was, and the Packers are still third overall, which is very good! But it wasn’t the most convincing win while the Lions were beating the stuffings out of a good, fun […]

With the NFL trade deadline fast approaching, fans’ eyes are turning toward potential upgrades the Green Bay Packers could make to bolster their team for a (hopefully) deep run.

There is this one Green Bay Packers sequence from last week that continues to piss me off, and I want to talk about it a little more. Specifically, this sequence is at the end of the first quarter. Now, it’s unfair to judge individual plays in a vacuum, especially in this offense, where giving certain looks […]
