NFL Draft: The quarterback market is already thinning out

As we discussed earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers don’t have many absolute needs going into this offseason. Could the team use a talent infusion in the draft? Always, but few positions scream “absolutely need,” with the major exception being quarterback, because the Packers are unlikely to re-sign quarterback Malik Willis — considering his […]

How Details in the Red Zone Cost the Packers

We already talked about the Green Bay Packers’ passing game as a whole, but I wanted to take a deeper look at a play that could potentially have changed the complexion of the game. It goes down as an incomplete pass to receiver Romeo Doubs early in the 2nd quarter on 3rd & 6. The […]

Don’t expect MarShawn Lloyd to be activated this week

The Green Bay Packers seem like they’re prepared to shut down running back MarShawn Lloyd, who has only played one game in the two years since the Packers turned in a third-round pick for him.

Packers Film Room: Passing game wilts in the 2nd half

Every week, we use this space to look at the Green Bay Packers’ passing game from the previous week, so let’s get to it. It was a tale of two halves for Jordan Love. He looked unstoppable in the 1st half, going 17/22 (77.3%) for 215 yards (9.8 YPA) and 1 TD (122.4 QB Rating). […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers still have a chance

The Packers are down, but not out. Yes, the road ahead got a lot harder this week, but there’s still some reason for hope as the Packers come down the home stretch. For better or for worse, they largely control their own destiny. As long as they keep winning, they’ll more than likely end up […]

Packers again teach the cold, hard lesson of football

I’ve been following the Packers closely for about 30 years. In those three decades, I’ve received the same lesson again and again and again: football will hurt you if you let it, and it’s best to just let things wash over and through you than to get too invested in something outside of your control.
