This was a fantastic win. The Packers were arguably missing 5 of their top 6 players (Gary being the other one). Some dumb mistakes but it's a really young team. I think they could be very good once they are fully healthy. Hopefully that actually happens at some point this season.

By trading Josh Hader did we give up our World Series chances? If what Stearns got in return for Josh can't achieve what Josh did, and they must very soon, the rest of the team will lose trust in them and then the any chance at the series is gone. Pittsburgh losses have spooked the team. Two of...
This reminds me a little bit of the Rowdy Tellez (age 26) acquisition during the season. Both are players that have had up and down MLB performances, but each had very strong minor league track records.
The Brewers are doing exactly what they should by continuing to acquire guys that are in the...
@TomSilverstein: #Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that LT David Bakhtiari will be doubtful for Sunday, but he said he did not have a setback. He said it's all part of the process of his return from ACL surgery.
Getting TJ Watt back will be huge for them, they didn't get enough pass rush vs. the Bengals. Their DL outside of Heyward is meh because of injuries, and I think the GB OL is up to the task. The concern there is who plays LT (Njiman again?) - teams have him on tape now and will adjust. He'll...
Julio was the sound of a guy clearly wanting out, Rodgers seems like a guy who wants everyone to know he is mad at Murphy/Ball/Gutey so when they give him a new deal, he comes out looking like a guy who got the Packers FO to kiss his *** for 3 months. Seems petty but that's always been his thing.
The tundra may not be frozen at Lambeau Field in October.
But it will be well-worn.
The Packers host the Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week Four, a game which will be played on Oct. 5.
That will be a quick turnaround, since the venerable stadium will host Wisconsin and Notre Dame on...
I'm not worried about the Rodgers grudge factor. I'm pissed at the fact we drafted a guy who won't see the field for 2 or 3 years. This isn't the 90's or 2000's where qb's sit for years. You draft a qb to take advantage of the cheap years on his rookie deal.
The Super Bowl features teams that showcase speed. It’s not a new NFL concept- you can’t teach it, and it rules the game when combined with execution. This season, the Packers lacked both.
On defense, opponents time after time exposed Blake Martinez’s lack of speed- and the NFCC game was no...
The Packers got a couple calls go their way, and so did Seattle (not a single holding call the entire game on their OL???). That was generally even.
But again, this kind of game comes down to making the play- Rodgers made several throws that were the level we expect from the 2-time MVP. Adams...
That was a sweet win. Been a long time since our defense shut someone down completely and won a game for this team. Looking forward to watching that each week!
