Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
If you were hoping to catch the Philadelphia Eagles at less than full force, I have some bad news for you. On Saturday, in the team’s final injury report, the Eagles listed both running back Saquon Barkley and receiver A.J. Brown as full goes for Monday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The only players […]

This week is a big one. The Green Bay Packers have a highly leveraged roster on the salary cap, meaning that their best opportunity to win the Super Bowl over the next five-ish seasons is right now. Despite that, the team has proven to be inconsistent thus far, with a loss on Monday against the […]

It’s clear that the vibes are bad after the Green Bay Packers’ week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, but now we have some numbers to illustrate just how down fans are about the team this week. The Packers lost as 13.5-point favorites on Sunday, their biggest upset loss since at least the NFL-AFL merger. […]

Unlike the Carolina Panthers, the Philadelphia Eagles have a long and storied history, and Packers history has intertwined with that of the Eagles on many occasions. The Packers actually met the Eagles during the latter’s inaugural season, posting a 10-0 win in Philadelphia in 1933. The Eagles, in turn, beat the Packers in the 1960 […]

It’s honestly a bit remarkable that the Green Bay Packers are still favored this week. Home-field advantage remains a real factor for sportsbooks in setting lines, but after the team’s awful home loss to the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, it feels strange that they would be favored against the #1 team in the NFC under […]

Based on ESPN’s projections, there’s at least a 75 percent chance that the top seven teams in college football will make the college football playoff, leaving just five spots up for grabs for the other 130-ish teams at the FBS level. Saturday’s action should decide a lot of these swings. Also, if you haven’t checked […]

If there was ever a time for the Green Bay Packers’ run game to figure itself out, it’s on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. In a game that will likely have major NFC playoff seeding implications, the Packers come in banged up, most notably on the heels of Tucker Kraft’s season-ending ACL injury […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week that the Packers would open up a kicking competition between Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik, but special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia apparently never got the memo. LaFleur, who boasted that he didn’t talk to kickers a few weeks ago, may have spoken out of […]

The Green Bay Packers’ receiver room is an absolute mess going into their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Beyond Jayden Reed (collarbone) being on injured reserve, first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden (hip), who dropped out against the Carolina Panthers, went from a limited participant on Thursday’s practice to a complete non-participant in Friday’s practice with […]

I don’t think you should really ever wager on sports, and believe me, this is not betting advice. If you follow any betting advice from me, you’ll get exactly what you deserve. But here at the mid-ish point of the NFL season, I think there are a few undervalued teams hanging around out there. First, […]

After losing Tucker Kraft to a season ending ACL tear, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive infrastructure is in a pretty dark place. Not the talent level, as Green Bay still has plenty of talented players, headlined by quarterback Jordan Love who is second in EPA-per-dropback this season. The issue is not talent, but how the […]

I probably don’t need to tell you that the Green Bay Packers have a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Monday night. As I try to do every week, I took a look at how the Packers could attack this Eagles defense. I tend to start with numbers, then watch some film after that. […]

There’s a lot of ink being spilled about whether or not Matthew Golden, the Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick, is being used correctly due to “his lack of production” through the first half of his rookie NFL season. Are those expectations realistic, though? I want to take a look at that today. So far in […]

Unless the Packers have a truly catastrophic end to this season, I don’t think there’s any real chance Matt LaFleur is going to get fired. There’s been plenty of discussion about LaFleur’s employment prospects with the Packers this week, but the reality is there’s probably not much upside to making that change now, and it […]

The Green Bay Packers’ offense already looked like it needed a jolt of creativity in the run game before last Sunday’s upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, but the events of that game made it an absolute necessity. Between a dismal 13-point performance and an abhorrent 1-for-5 day trying to score touchdowns in the red […]

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has been playing very poorly this season, a point of frustration for fans who watched McManus’ injury replacement, Lucas Havrisik, set the franchise record for the longest field goal made in club history at 61 yards in his last appearance with the team. Since returning from injury, McManus has […]

Coming off of his team’s bye week, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni fielded many questions about new additions to his squad’s roster, including cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II and pass-rushers Jaelan Phillips and Brandon Graham, but Sirianni did have a little time to talk about his team’s next opponent, the Green Bay […]

I am especially sick of bubble screens, but regular screens aren’t always the best, either! Such was the case early in the fourth quarter on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers faced third and three from the Carolina Panthers’ eight-yard line, threatening to score and tie the game at 13. The Packers love screens of […]

Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game gets Week 10 of the NFL season underway with an AFC West rivalry matchup. Two teams headed in different directions will square off tonight as the division-leading Denver Broncos host the last-place Las Vegas Raiders in prime time. The Broncos are in the midst of an impressive turnaround under head […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t shy away from the idea of a kicking competition this week. As it stands right now, the Packers are the lone team in the NFL that carries two kickers on their active roster — Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik — which started in Week 6. This year, […]

Not all injury-related news has to be bad news, as tough as that may be to believe for Green Bay Packers fans this year. On Thursday, the Packers actually got four players back who were either injured in the team’s last game against the Carolina Panthers or missed the game entirely. According to Packers.com’s Weston […]

It’s been a rough week for Green Bay Packers fans. They fell to the Carolina Panthers in what can only be described as a trap game — an unfortunate specialty of head coach Matt LaFleur at this point. Then came the news that tight end Tucker Kraft—currently leading the team in receiving, YAC, and receiving touchdowns—was […]

I wanted to take a deeper dive into the data this week to learn something about the Green Bay Packers. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like Rashan Gary has been very effective this year, despite posting 7.5 sacks. For all the talk about how Gary was going to get more one-on-one opportunities with the […]

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein wrote a great piece on Wednesday covering the Green Bay Packers, who are currently on the team’s injury lists. In it, he had the following to say about second-year, third-round running back MarShawn Lloyd: “Lloyd has met with more specialists to help figure out imbalances in his body that […]
