Friday Cheese Curds: Why the Packers have reason to believe their offensive line will be better in 2026
The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line has become a popular offseason target for skeptics. One recent article highlighted the unit as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks, noting that several national analysts rank the Packers’ offensive line near the bottom third of the NFL after the departures of Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins. Makes […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #1: Keisean Nixon calls game
Keisean Nixon provokes a lot of mixed feelings in people. Okay, not super mixed. A lot of people, if not most, are pretty down on Nixon as the Packers’ top cornerback. But it’s not all bad, and last season Nixon gave us one of the most memorable images of the century-long Packers/Bears rivalry. Here’s our […]
Wisconsin, Notre Dame drop new uniforms for Lambeau Field matchup
There will be a game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6th, but it won’t involve the Green Bay Packers. While the Packers will have that week “off” between the preseason and regular season, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will travel to Green Bay for a Labor Day weekend matchup to kick off their respective seasons […]
Green Bay Packers News: Are critics of Love’s supporting cast wrong about the Packers?
In a recent write up for SI, Bill Huber asked whether Jordan Love can capitalize on his supporting cast. It’s an interesting question because so much of the national conversation assumes Green Bay’s offense has gotten worse. Has it? Let’s walk through just a few examples. The Packers lost productivity in the receiver room. This […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #2: Matthew Golden finally scores his first TD
As a longtime Matthew Golden believer, I made it a priority to specifically request that I write about the first-round pick’s first career touchdown. This play from the Green Bay Packers’ Wild Card game comes in at number two on APC’s countdown of the best plays from last season. The Game The NFC Wild Card […]
Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Linebackers
The Green Bay Packers’ linebacker room is a little light right now, as the team only has seven bodies on its 91-man roster for a position that is expected to have five players make the 53-man roster. Next up in our roster preview, we’re going to take a look at every single off-ball linebacker on […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Micah Parsons is good
Hey everyone, Micah Parsons is good. Periodically, it seems people need a reminder and ESPN was happy to oblige, ranking Parsons as the second-best edge rusher in the NFL in our first link below. Normally I wouldn’t go through so much trouble to point out just one article, but I think this one is worthy […]

We travel all the way back to Week 1 as we continue through our list of the Green Bay Packers’ top plays from the 2025 season. What you’re about to see is what I like to call “the moment I felt like everything would be okay”. The Game After surprising everyone by making the 2024 […]

Three ESPN writers got together to rank the best lineups in the NFL, as it stands in July. While the Green Bay Packers didn’t top the list, they did rank in the top third of the league, according to the World Wide Leader’s experts. The two big questions on the Packers’ depth chart right now […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Packers position battles on tap
Position battles are both real and not real. They’re real in the sense that players are actually going to spend time jockeying for position on the depth chart, earning or losing playing time based on their performance in practice and throughout however many preseason games the Packers actually play this year. But I always push […]
An introduction to Jonathan Gannon’s defensive philosophy and scheme
The Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator search began when Jeff Hafley, who coordinated the defense for two seasons, joined the Miami Dolphins as the head coach in January. At the time, sources reported the Packers had agreed to terms with Gannon on January 25, 2026, and the hire was officially announced on February 2nd, with […]

Packers Top Plays of 2025, #6: Christian Watson takes a slant to the house
The first week of APC’s top plays of 2025 countdown concludes with a look at play number six, which came in a crucial late-season divisional matchup.

Green Bay Packers News: Love vs. man coverage; all quiet on the defensive front
The Green Bay Packers, like many teams in 2025, had great success attacking defenses when they played man coverage. The increased use of pre-snap motion has increased the passing game’s efficiency against man in recent years, and the Packers are certainly one of the teams to lean into that approach most prominently. But no single […]
Top running backs of all-time: 5 Packers crack top-100 list
Last year, Windy City Gridiron’s Bill Zimmerman ranked the top 100 quarterbacks of all time, which featured former Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the seventh-ranked player on the list. This summer, Zimmerman tackled the running back position, this time with a more analytical approach. Zimmerman ranked backs on a point system (within tiers), […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #7: Tucker Kraft caps career day with second TD
Acme Packing Company’s Top Plays of 2025 countdown continues today with play number 7. Week 8 of the 2025 season was Tucker Kraft’s masterclass.

Green Bay Packers Roster Preview: Edge Rushers
Obviously, the biggest questions about the Green Bay Packers’ edge rusher unit all revolve around Micah Parsons. When will he return? What will he look like when he’s back on the field? Who will step up in his place until he comes back? Beyond the Parsons of it all, let’s take a look at the […]
Packers Top Plays of 2025, #8: Lucas Havrisik sets a Packers record
The next installment of our 2025 top plays looks at one of the most impressive individual moments of the season: when a lowly practice squad kicker turned loose the kick of his life and set a Packers record. The Packers’ kicking game has been wandering through the wilderness after Mason Crosby’s departure. Nobody has been […]
Wednesday Cheese Curds: Matthew Golden looking for a better second year
I’m not sure what I expect from Matthew Golden in year two, but I think I have a lot of good company when I say that I expect his 2026 season to be better than 2025. What does “better” actually look like? More counting stats, to be sure, but beyond that point is where I […]
Packers 2025 Callsheet: 4th & Short
If you’re new to this series, we’re reviewing how the Green Bay Packers offense performed in 2025 by down & distance. We’re doing that by building out a call sheet. I ran it all down in my initial post. This is the 9th article in the series, where we’re looking at 4th & Short (where “Short” […]

Tuesday Cheese Curds: Christian Watson connects with his past to build toward future
We’re in the throes of the deadest of dead periods on the NFL calendar, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing interesting going on. Now is prime time for the human interest aspects of NFL reporting to surface. There’s plenty to choose from this time of year. You always hear stories about how a certain player […]
Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, and opportunity cost
Opportunity cost is a real problem for football teams, especially ones built like the Packers. In the Jordan Love era, the Packers have never really been short of offensive talent. Sure, it’s often been a challenge to have all of that talent on the field together, but in the aggregate, it’s never been an issue. […]
