Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
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 […]

If you thought that this might be the week that the Green Bay Packers would be underdogs in the eyes of the sportsbooks, think again. Yes, the Packers are on the road this week, and yes, they are playing a 4-2 team in the Pittsburgh Steelers — a team that employs one Aaron Rodgers at […]

Folks, we’re rebranding. Instead of calling this series detailed snap counts, it’s going to be the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart update moving forward, as that’s probably a more accurate title. Below, we’ll go into where, why and how many times a player lined up in a certain spot for the Packers against the Arizona […]

It’s probably not going to happen for him this year, because of Bill Belichick joining the pool of coaching candidates, but former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the group of 12 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s coaching candidates going into the next stage of Class of 2026 voting.

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. In fact, in the 11 power rankings that we’ve been tracking, the Packers actually fell in 7 of them, were unmoved […]

It wasn’t always pretty (particularly in the first half), but the Green Bay Packers pulled out an ugly victory over the Arizona Cardinals in week 7 to get to a 4-1-1 record. As we do every week, we’re taking a look at the performance of the passing game. So let’s stop talking about it and […]

Sorry, Matt LaFleur, this week’s game is at least a little bit about Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ head coach can downplay the fact that the guy who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with the Packers is now on the opposing sideline, but it doesn’t detract from the significance of the matchup. Rodgers is […]

Matt LaFleur has come under fire in the last couple of years for some of his decision-making on 4th down. The Shanahan tree guys had always been more conservative on 4th down than I would have thought (given how forward-thinking they are about offensive football), but LaFleur seemed to buck that trend early on, only […]

The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a couple of injuries, none bigger than the loss of defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who is dealing with a foot issue. In his Monday press conference, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the following about Van Ness’ status going into this week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers: […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The goal in the NFL is to go 1-0 every week, and this week, the Green Bay Packers are 1-0. Now, is a 27-23 nail biter against the Arizona Cardinals ideal? No, especially when it comes against backup QB Jacoby Brissett. Do I care? A little bit! Let’s unpack this week’s winners and losers from […]

Let’s go through a position-by-position breakdown of the Green Bay Packers’ snap counts in their win over the Arizona Cardinals. There are some notable changes to how the team is using its players, particularly in the secondary.

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 […]

The Green Bay Packers narrowly escaped a let-down game, holding on for a 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals to move to 4-1-1 on the season. While there’s plenty to clean up, perhaps the biggest concern right now for the Packers on either side of the ball has been a disappointing level of play from […]

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 […]
