When the Packers fired former head coach Mike McCarthy back in mid-December, that raised plenty of questions regarding who his successor would end up being. His eventual successor was former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur. At first glance, it looked to be a promising hire for both sides; now, nine months later, LaFleur will […]
The Packers open their season at Soldier Field vs the Chicago Bears as the NFL celebrates its 100th season. The NFL broke with their recent tradition of having the prior season’s Super Bowl Champion host the first game of the season and the early rumors of having the Packers and Bears square off in the […]
QB (2): #12 Aaron Rodgers, #8 Tim Boyle *Released*: #9 DeShone Kizer, #18 Manny Wilkins. Honestly, I’m not all that surprised by the moves made at QB. Overall, Tim Boyle has looked like the better, more suitable backup QB to Rodgers as opposed to Kizer. He, on the other hand, has been an experiment gone […]
Thursday night marked Green Bay’s third preseason game. One more and then it’s onto the real thing September 5th in Chicago. Within these games saw the rise of three players in particular: WRs Allen Lazard, Trevor Davis, and Darrius Shepherd. As far as I’m concerned, because of them, the WR depth chart is wide open […]
One of the biggest storylines this offseason for Green Bay has been the NFL media narrative of head coach Matt LaFleur & QB Aaron Rodgers’ disagreements on things like joint practices and Rodgers’ use of audibles at the line of scrimmage. Thus making their relationship one of no repairs; which I might add, is completely […]

The Packers will play their first […]
Early Sunday morning, former Packer wide receiver Jordy Nelson ended up having a ceremonial retirement with them. It ended up avoiding certain roadblocks that a one-day contract signing would bring up like drug tests, roster moves, etc. It was announced via the Packers team account. He will also be speaking with the media on Tuesday […]
Head coach Matt LaFleur heaped praise upon CB Jaire Alexander during media interviews after Thursday’s training camp practice. “I love everything about Jaire, I love the way he competes; he brings so much energy on a daily basis, I think the future’s bright for him & I think he’s going to establish himself before long […]
One big part of Matt LaFleur’s offensive mindset is the use of two and even three back sets. This likely means more of a featured role for fullback Danny Vitale. Like his predecessor John Kuhn, Vitale would not only look to run the ball out of the backfield as a FB but also catch the […]
Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams have had quite the connection over the past few seasons in Green Bay. So much so that this past year marked Adams’ first-ever 1000 yard season at wide receiver. He ended up catching a total of 111 passes for 1,386 yards and 13 total touchdowns. He was just two receptions […]
