Win or lose, Rodgers will become the latest in […]

Now on the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers will be going up against his former team and Green Bay successor in the Packers and quarterback Jordan Love.

There is this one Green Bay Packers sequence from last week that continues to piss me off, and I want to talk about it a little more. Specifically, this sequence is at the end of the first quarter. Now, it’s unfair to judge individual plays in a vacuum, especially in this offense, where giving certain looks […]

I don’t expect the Green Bay Packers to just take a loss on their $48 million signing of cornerback Nate Hobbs, nor do I think they should. Hobbs was one of the premier slot cornerbacks to hit free agency last offseason, and he was paid as such. With that being said, be it because of […]

Week 8 is just getting started around the NFL, and that means that we’re just getting started seeing the headlines and discussion about Aaron Rodgers’ first (and potentially only) game against the Green Bay Packers. Now that attention has moved on from Week 7 and the Packers’ win in Arizona, all eyes are on the […]

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will find himself in uncharted waters this Sunday, as he gets to face the team with which he collected four league MVP awards and won a Lombardi trophy. Rodgers had an awkward last couple of years in Green Bay, in which he won two MVP awards after the selection of […]

After practice today, Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson stated, “It’s my goal and plan to play this week,” per Packers.com’s Weston Hodkiewicz. Watson is coming off his late 2024 season ACL injury, which landed him on the physically unable to play list to start the 2025 season. Currently, Watson is playing through his 21-day […]

Three Green Bay Packers were non-participants in practice on Wednesday: receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness (foot) and kicker Brandon McManus (quad). Wicks was injured in last week’s win against the Arizona Cardinals, while both Van Ness and McManus were held out of action for that game. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated […]

The last time Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers faced off against Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers, the Packers lost 23-19 to a Kenny Pickett-led team that only threw for 119 passing yards on the day. In part, that was because the Pittsburgh defense held quarterback Jordan Love to just a 71.8 passer rating and forced him […]

Throughout the week, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has been stating that the team is set to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just happen to have quarterback Aaron Rodgers, not playing Aaron Rodgers. Clearly, there’s an attempt to diffuse the talk about a potential revenge game, and that was reciprocated by Rodgers on […]

The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will be relatively unrecognizable when they face off on Sunday Night Football this week. Neither team will be wearing their classic uniforms, which, to me, is a little disappointing in a matchup between two massive brands. The Packers will be wearing their all white “Winter Warning” uniforms, which […]

I know Green Bay Packers fans are desperately searching for a potential trade candidate at either defensive tackle or cornerback to give this team a shot in the arm in the second half of the 2025 regular season. Thankfully, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Matt Bowen talked about the trade deadline this week and named their […]

In his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt will return to action today. Wyatt injured his knee in back-to-back games in Weeks 3 and 4, ultimately missing games in Week 6 and 7 after Green Bay’s Week 5 bye week. Since then, Wyatt […]

On Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons set a career-high with three sacks in the Packers’ 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Unsurprisingly, that dominant performance has earned attention from the NFL as a whole; on Wednesday, the league announced that Parsons has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for week […]

The Packers’ win over the Cardinals has spawned no end of takes. It was a very Rorschach test of a game — people see what they want to see. Without weighing in on the overall quality of the game or the win, here’s my perspective: this was a game where the Packers’ best players made […]

Even though the Green Bay Packers continue to win football games to the tune of the NFC-leading record going into Week 8, national analysts don’t seem to be buying the hype around the team.
