Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Edgerrin Cooper was the most exciting man on the Packers’ defense in 2024. The Packers introduced him into the lineup slowly last season, but every glimpse was tantalizing. And when they finally turned him loose, he was everything fans — and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley — could have hoped for. He was fast, aggressive and […]

The Packers did something pretty rare the last time they faced the Lions: they managed to catch an NFL team completely off guard. The Lions were completely unprepared for the Packers’ defense in Week 1, and the Packers wreaked havoc on the Lions’ passing attack as a result. All they had to do to achieve […]

Do you remember when the Green Bay Packers were 3-6 midway through the 2023 NFL season and fans started thinking ahead to the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft? Jordan Love’s first year as the starting quarterback of the franchise didn’t start out so well; after a 38-point explosion in Chicago to start the season, […]

In his post-walkthrough press conference on Tuesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur provided updates on the team’s key injuries. According to LaFleur, both running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and cornerback Keisean Nixon (neck) are going to be game-time decisions versus the Detroit Lions, so you can go ahead and assume that they’ll be […]

Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Keisean Nixon, who left Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a stinger, was upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Tuesday was just a walkthrough, and since the Packers didn’t practice on Monday, both listings are estimates. It seems highly unlikely that Green Bay will host a […]

The Green Bay Packers didn’t make up much distance in national power rankings this week. Despite beating the Minnesota Vikings, it seems like analysts are only giving the team about half credit for beating J.J. McCarthy. Which, to be honest, is fair. Let’s take a look at this week’s batch of power rankings, including some […]

Today is the 325th day since Christian Watson tore his ACL. I’ll be the first to admit I was among the doubters. Seeing Watson crumpled on the Lambeau Field turf, I thought the great experiment was at an end. Watson, the small-school prospect on whom the Packers had spent two second round picks, had been […]

Emanuel Wilson is one of the best stories to emerge from the Packers’ Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. His unexpected 107-yard outburst is the Packers’ highest rushing total of the season, and it caps off a long road to something resembling stardom for Wilson. Once a small school star, Wilson was the man […]

The Green Bay Packers strolled to a win over the Minnesota Vikings that only saw their defense play a total of 44 plays, so the team should be relatively rested for their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Let’s take you through all of the changes on the team’s depth chart, along with […]

In this space, we take a look at the Green Bay Packers’ passing game, be it ever so humble. The Packers came into this game with Jordan Love banged up, and there seemed to be a strong desire to get him out of this game, taking a minimal amount of hits. At least, that was […]

It’s officially Week 13 in the NFL, and the Green Bay Packers have only played two divisional games. That means the Packers will play four division games in the remaining six weeks, and just played their first of three division games in a row. The Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and are headed […]

After scoring a TD to take a 7-3 lead on their opening drive, the Green Bay Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to a punt. And what a punt it was: Ryan Wright hit a beautiful coffin corner punt that shot sideways out of bounds at the 2-yard line. That set the Packers up in […]

Believe it or not, the winner of tonight’s Monday Night Football game will be sitting in playoff position. That’s a surprising situation for one of these teams in particular, as the Carolina Panthers have found some winning ways and are 6-2 over their last eight games. The Panthers are in a tie with the Tampa […]

The Green Bay Packers did not have a practice at all on Monday, while the Detroit Lions only had a walkthrough leading up to their Thanksgiving Day matchup. Because of that, both teams’ first injury reports of the week are only estimations. Still, there’s some information to take from the self-reporting. Packers’ Non-Participants Had Green […]

It took until Week 13, but the Green Bay Packers are finally underdogs for their upcoming game at the start of a week. The Packers have been favored in each of their first 11 games of the 2025 season at the beginning of the weeks leading up to their games, though the line did shift […]

I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out on top. Basically all season, and as recently as last week, I wrote that the Green Bay Packers need to lean harder into Jordan Love and a very efficient passing game if they’re going to be a threat in the NFC this year. And yet, […]

For once, the Green Bay Packers played complementary football in all three phases on Sunday afternoon. The offense, defense, and special teams all got into the act, powering the Packers to a dominant 23-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The defense was arguably the most impressive unit on Sunday, however. The team has now allowed […]

Micah Parsons recorded his ninth and 10th sacks of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, joining some elite company in the process. He and Reggie White are now the only players in NFL history to record 10 or more sacks in each of their first five NFL seasons. For his part, Parsons doesn’t […]

Even though Week 12 still isn’t even over, it’s very obvious who the NFC’s playoff spots will come down to. Both NFL Pro’s data and the New York Times’ playoff predictor have the following teams with less than a two percent chance of making the postseason: the Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders, […]
