Latest news and updates about the Packers
As it stands now, it sure seems like we’re in the middle of a staring contest between Green Bay Packers president/CEO Ed Policy and Matt LaFleur’s agent, Trace Armstrong of Athletes First. At this point, if Armstrong, one of the bigger agents on the coaching side of things in the industry, doesn’t have a number […]

Atlanta’s been on a run with defensive-minded head coaching candidates of late, completing interviews late this week with ex-Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. They’ll mix things up with an offensive-minded candidate on Sunday. Per NFL insider Albert Breer, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady […]

Since we’re still waiting for an answer about whether Matt LaFleur is or isn’t going to be the Green Bay Packers’ next head coach, let’s at least do something productive with our time. One of the biggest questions I get every draft cycle is where NFL draft offensive line prospects have lined up in the […]

The idea that the Chicago Bears are employing a head coach who irks his contemporaries puts a goofy smile on my face. Days after Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson dispatched the Packers on Wild Card Saturday to secure the franchise’s first playoff victory in 15 years, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith shared this anecdote while discussing Chicago’s victory against Green Bay: “Friends of Matt LaFleur around the league can’t stand Ben Johnson.” PURE SPECULATION but LaFleur and Sean McVay wo...

The Cleveland Browns head coach search is off and running, with two more interviews taking place on Friday and another on Saturday. While John Harbaugh and the New York Giants haven’t come to an official agreement yet, most likely the top candidate is off the market already. Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers haven’t […]

I agree with many of my APC brethren that there is not a clear upgrade from Matt LaFleur out there at the moment, and that bringing him back is probably, objectively, the correct thing to do. However, I’m also getting pretty sick of the Green Bay Packers playing like losers. LaFleur is a great play […]

With the Packers’ 2025 season now in the books, it’s time to take a look around and see where Packers players ended up on the team’s all-time statistical leaderboards. A minor spoiler: most of the Packers’ offensive climbing had something to do with Tobin Rote. You’ll see what I mean below. Passing There was an […]

As we’ve all seen by now, multiple people have been interviewed for Cleveland’s vacant head coaching position over the past two weeks. Though those coaches might be the most realistic options, an odd storm is brewing over in Green Bay that could open the door for another head coaching candidate for the Browns. Packers HC […]

At least we now know what the hangup is in the discussions between the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur. The two sides appear to be some distance apart on the length of the contract, not the average annual salary, with the Packers looking for a shorter-term extension (a year or two) and […]

The 2006 NFC Championship aside, this may have been the most important, and meaningful win in all my years as a Bears fan. I won’t sugarcoat it, about midway through the 3rd quarter even I was muttering “same old Bears”, me, one of the most glass half full fans in the world. But even then, […]

Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one of the best members of the Green Bay Packers’ beat, just wrote an update on where things stand between the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur, as Green Bay attempts to get a deal done for LaFleur to be the coach of the Packers in 2026 and […]

Since we’re all waiting on the news about Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and whether he and the team can find a number that makes sense on an extension, I thought I’d make myself useful, take a break from the scrolling and talk about another member of the coaching staff. No, this time […]

When long-time Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements (2006-2016, 2022-2024) retired after last season, head coach Matt LaFleur filled the vacancy by hiring Sean Mannion to the role. Mannion, who left Oregon State as a third-round pick and was the Beavers’ all-time passing leader, had previously played for LaFleur in 2017, LaFleur’s one season […]

Alright, since we’re all just killing time and refreshing for updates on what will happen with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, I figured I’d open the floor to get people’s predictions on what happens with his future — now five days after the Packers’ brutal choke job against the Chicago Bears in the […]

Even though my focus is on the Chicago Bears’ upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams, I simply cannot get enough of the footage that continues to come our way from the team’s epic win against the Green Bay Packers on Wild Card Saturday. The latest reveal comes from the team’s 1920 Football Drive web series, which provides a whole bunch of new sights and sounds from the victory. I won’t give much more of a description. In fact, I’ll just share it below and let you take it from here. It...

Nine NFL teams have head coaching openings at the present time, and although no contract extension has yet been announced between the Green Bay Packers and Matt LaFleur, momentum seems to be pushing towards the two sides coming to a deal. That would keep the number at nine, and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is […]

The Green Bay Packers have precious few assistant coaches on their staff with lengthy pedigrees in the NFL, and there is a chance they could lose one of those few who do have track records in the league to another job this offseason. On Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys submitted a request to the Packers to […]

Welcome to the first edition of Green Bay Packers offseason fan fiction, if that’s something you fancy. This is my first crack at predicting what will happen in Green Bay through the draft. I’m sure I’ll get plenty wrong here, but we don’t even know (for sure) who the head coach will be for the […]

The running game is at the heart of what Ben Johnson’s offensive scheme is all about. Unfortunately, it has struggled to gain traction of late. In the Bears’ playoff win against the Packers, Chicago’s offense mustered just 93 yards on the ground against Green Bay’s defense. The week prior, the rushing attack collected only 65 yards — which represented the fewerst ground yards gained by the offense this season. Don’t get me wrong. I love that quarterback Caleb Williams was able to air...
