Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
After the first two months of the season were filled with late afternoon and prime time games, the Green Bay Packers can finally start to settle in to the early time slot for much of the rest of the 2025 season. Today’s game against the Carolina Panthers will kick off at 12 Noon Central Time, […]
Based on the Green Bay Packers’ final injury report, the only players that Green Bay will be down due to injury are receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and defensive end Lukas Van Ness (knee), who were already ruled out by the team on Friday. Both of the Packers’ players who were listed as questionable coming into […]
Sunday is here, and with it comes one of the biggest regular season matchups on the NFL’s 2025 schedule. In today’s late afternoon window, the NFL gets a nationally televised game — a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game that features two of the league’s best teams and best quarterbacks. Yes, it’s the Buffalo […]
The Green Bay Packers are back at home on Sunday after a two-week road trip. The Packers get their second and final two-game homestand of the year in weeks 9 and 10, hosting the Carolina Panthers this Sunday before they welcome in the Philadelphia Eagles eight days later on Monday Night Football. Today’s game against […]
When the Green Bay Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football next week, there will be a familiar face wearing midnight green and white on the visitor’s sideline. On Saturday afternoon, the Eagles acquired cornerback Jaire Alexander from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a swap of late-round draft picks. Philadelphia sends a […]
The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have signed linebacker Kristian Welch to the active roster. Welch has been on the Packers’ practice squad this season and hasn’t been activated for a single game. Previously, he played 14 games for the 2023 Packers before Green Bay released him at the cutdown deadline in […]
Through eight weeks of the NFL season, it’s safe to say that the opposing offenses the Green Bay Packers have faced thus far were primarily worried about Micah Parsons’ impact on their ability to play offense. Through the first four weeks, opposing teams could game plan around Parsons’ rushing off the edge. After the bye […]
We’ll get into the college football games this week a little later in this article, but first, I wanted to bring up something that will probably impact the Green Bay Packers this offseason. A LOT of college football head coaches are getting fired. Open Power 4 Jobs Already, there are eight openings in the top […]
Before last Sunday, Green Bay Packers fans were still a bit of a skeptical bunch. The Packers needed a late fourth-quarter comeback to defeat the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, and memories of a loss to the Cleveland Browns and a tie against the Dallas Cowboys were still lingering. With those reasons still in mind, […]
The Green Bay Packers battled back in the second half of the Week 8 game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers after being down 16-7 at halftime. They held the Pittsburgh offense to nine second-half points while the Packers offense scored on each possession of the 2nd half. In the end, the defense held their former quarterback, […]
For the second time this season, the Green Bay Packers are set to be favored by double digits. The Packers host the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field on Sunday and as of mid-day Friday the point spread is up to 13.5, a full point higher than the spread on Monday morning. The last time the […]
The Green Bay Packers officially ruled out receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) versus the Carolina Panthers, after all three were non-participants throughout the week. Both Wicks and Van Ness were out last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Niemann dropped out of the game with […]
First let’s deal with the elephant in the room on this week’s rankings. The Green Bay Packers are basically flat, and actually slightly down, despite an impressive win in Pittsburgh that has the league discussing Tucker Kraft as the best tight end in the game and Jordan Love as an MVP candidate. So how does […]
In retrospect, expecting a rookie wide receiver to hit the ground running in year one was always a recipe for disappointment. Still, the old adage about wide receivers needing a year or two to adjust to the NFL game has become less true in the last half decade or so, with guys like Malik Nabers […]
So far, Micah Parsons is doing exactly what the Packers wanted him to do when they ponied up a war chest of draft picks and guaranteed money to secure his services: he’s making life exceedingly difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Parsons is having an excellent year just about any way you slice it. If you like […]
It’s very difficult to separate the impact of an NFL running back from his offensive line. There is only so much a running back can do if his guys fail to open holes, and just about any back can be effective if the line is good enough. It is perhaps the very first chicken and […]
When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]
Jordan Love’s recent uptick in counting stats makes him look a lot more viable as an MVP option, but his increased passing output is also bringing a few of his teammates along with him. As Love has continued to pile up better and better passing numbers, Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs are seeing the lion’s […]
Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley hasn’t given up on cornerback Nate Hobbs, and he wants you to know it. Hobbs struggled at outside cornerback in extended looks against the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals, but both Hafley and head coach Matt LaFleur sang his praises going into last week’s action against […]
It’s Thursday evening, and that means that the NFL is kicking off its next week of football this evening. Tonight, Week 9 gets underway with a matchup between two underwhelming AFC teams that are looking to scrape out of the bottom of their respective divisions. The Baltimore Ravens are just 2-5 on the young 2025 […]
Back in 2024, I asked special teams staffers in and around the NFL what the new dynamic kickoff would look like, before we had ever seen the play executed in the league. The response I got was the following: Eventually, teams are going to be good enough to kick “dirty balls,” which are difficult to […]
Hiring Joe Barry as the Packers’ defensive coordinator is one of the great errors of the Matt LaFleur era. The Packers’ 2021 defense was respectable, but things went downhill quickly under Barry’s guidance, though he’d hang on through the end of the 2023 season. But on the occasion of the Packers facing the Carolina Panthers, […]
The Green Bay Packers added three more injuries to their Thursday injury report. Quarterback Malik Willis had popped up as a limited participant with an ankle injury, right guard Jordan Morgan was limited on Thursday with an illness and linebacker Quay Walker was a non-participant due to a calf issue. Morgan has split time with […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Heading into Week 9, we want to know how you’re feeling after watching the team so […]
I want to say on the front end, I don’t think the Green Bay Packers are going to make a trade before the league’s deadline this year. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, the team is already down future draft picks following the trade for Micah Parsons. Secondly, the two positions that […]
