The brains of football fans should be studied for science. Maybe we should not just limit it to fans, but perhaps anyone in and around the game at all.

Heading into Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, one of the worst fears of Green Bay Packers fans was that Matt LaFleur would lean too heavily into the run game against an epically bad Giants run defense.

Jordan Love is carrying a dysfunctional Packers offense

Twas the week before Toyotathon, and all through Green Bay, not a critic was bashing Jordan Love, at least for a day.

Packers-Giants Final Score: Another sloppy performance

Sunday afternoon’s game was more or less what Green Bay Packers fans expected. Facing the 2-8 New York Giants, the Packers played a sloppy, ugly game but eventually managed to eke out a win with a 4th-quarter comeback. Sloppy was certainly the word of the day, however. Green Bay dropped as many as seven passes […]

Former Packer Mecole Hardman called up for Bills

The Green Bay Packers signed receiver/returner Mecole Hardman this offseason, as the team apparently planned on phasing All-Pro returner Keisean Nixon off of special teams.
