The Packers can swap kickers, if they really want to

Lucas Havrisik is obviously one of the better stories of a frustrating Green Bay Packers season. Added to the roster the day before the Packers’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Havrisik just connected on the longest made field goal in the history of a 100-plus-year club. Mind you, he was planning on becoming a substitute […]

The Packers didn’t want Josh Jacobs to play vs. the Cardinals

On Saturday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who was dealing with an illness and a calf strain, was a “true game-time decision” against the Arizona Cardinals. This was backed by the Packers’ roster moves on Saturday, where they called up running back Pierre Strong Jr. to the […]

Packers’ Nate Hobbs conceded the 2nd most yards in the NFL in Week 7

To say the least, the Green Bay Packers’ plan of signing Nate Hobbs, paying him like a slot defender and hoping that he could develop into outside cornerback is not exactly working out so far. Just in case you thought you were hallucinating yesterday’s performance against the Arizona Cardinals, I decided to look at the […]

Lucas Havrisik stands alone in Packers history after massive kick

It may not go down as the play of the year, but Lucas Havrisik’s 61-yard field goal is definitely one of the most unlikely. As recently as two weeks ago, Havrisik’s kicking career had stalled and his substitute teaching career had yet to take off. Now he’s a freshly minted Packers record holder, having booted […]

Cheese Curds, 10/20: Did Matt LaFleur get his groove back?

For his first few years as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur was one of the more aggressive coaches in the NFL on fourth downs. After a slow start as a rookie head coach in 2019, he spent three straight seasons in the top three for go rate when doing so would […]

Why Matt LaFleur changed his mind on that 4th down

With 2:32 left in the fourth quarter, down three points on the 29-yard line, the Green Bay Packers had a decision to make. Would they kick a field goal, a 47-yard attempt for Lucas Havrisik, who joined the team last Saturday, or would they go for it on fourth down? Initially, Packers head coach Matt […]

Packers-Cardinals Final Score: Green Bay escapes Arizona with a win

The Green Bay Packers did not lead until two minutes were remaining in the game on Sunday, but they did just enough in the second half — and got a few big plays from their recently-embattled defense — to emerge victorious in their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Josh Jacobs scored the go-ahead touchdown with […]

Cardinals-Packers second half open thread

It is… close? The Arizona Cardinals offense looks fine but I guess between playing a good defense and having a backup quarterback it is pretty good to be winning 13-6 at halftime. The run game continues to be an issue, while the passing attack is getting yards when it matters. I got a text from […]

Cardinals-Packers first half open thread

It is here. Well, after the game it is here, as the Arizona Cardinals have a two lane road heading into the bye week. On one side a playoff spot is virtually impossible as 2-5 would mean they would likely need to go 8-2 down the stretch. On the other side, it would be really […]

Schefter: Josh Jacobs is a ‘true game-time decision’ vs. Cardinals

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs played through an illness last weekend, stating that he threw up before and during the team’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Throughout the week, he was on the Packers’ injury report with an illness designation, but added a calf designation on Friday. This didn’t appear to be a […]

The Packers’ flight to Arizona was delayed for 6 hours

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the Green Bay Packers’ flight to Phoenix was delayed for nearly six hours on Saturday, which is not exactly what you want to hear when running back Josh Jacobs and cornerback Keisean Nixon are listed as questionable for the game with illnesses. Hopefully, whatever issue those two have won’t spread […]

The Packers are hitting explosives on a classic Air Raid concept

The Green Bay Packers’ offense hit a couple of explosive pass plays that gained 20+ yards in Week 6 on two different four verticals concepts: one to running back Josh Jacobs for 28 yards and the other to tight end Tucker Kraft for 24 yards. Four verticals is an air raid offense staple where the […]

He’s now listed as questionable for the game, as is cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), who apparently got injured during Friday’s practice.
