Green Bay Packers News: Run game holds the key against Eagles

The Green Bay Packers face a massive test this evening on Monday Night Football, when the Philadelphia Eagles come into Lambeau Field for a critical NFC matchup.

NFC Playoff Picture: Packers have a lot to lose on Monday

It’s at the point of the season where the talk about playoff leverage matters a lot. After all, the majority of the teams that advance to the Super Bowl are the top seeds in their conference. This number has held consistent over fifty years of play, even with the changes to the NFL’s playoff format. […]

Giants QB Jaxson Dart leaves Week 10 with concussion

The Green Bay Packers will get the New York Giants on a short week, after they play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. As far as timing goes, though, the Packers might end up catching the Giants at the right time. Not only are the Giants coming off four straight losses following their […]

Jaire Alexander won’t play against the Packers on Monday

Since the Baltimore Ravens traded Jaire Alexander to the Philadelphia Eagles, there’s been debate about whether or not he’ll suit up against his former team, the Green Bay Packers, on Monday Night Football. Today, the Eagles finally made the call, officially ruling Alexander out against Green Bay. Officially, the decision to hold Alexander out has […]

How Micah Parsons was held to 1 single pressure

We already covered in my last article why the final box score hides the defense’s performance. The run defense, in key situations, gave up too many big runs. Another less talked about issue in Week 9 was that Micah Parsons only generated one pressure. In fact, the Packers defense only generated pressure on Bryce Young […]

The Packers have failed in situational run defense

The final score on Sunday, a game in which the Green Bay Packers lost 16-13 in the final seconds, hides the struggles the Green Bay defense had in containing the Carolina Panthers’ running game, including on the final explosive play of the game just before the game-winning field goal. The Panthers averaged 4.96 yards per […]

Packers-Eagles final injury report: Green Bay’s WR room is a mess

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 […]

5 Questions With the Enemy: Eagles Preview

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 […]

Week 10 NFL Picks: Why are Packers still favored over Eagles?

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 […]

Week 11 College Football Gameday Thread

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 […]

Green Bay’s run game needs to get going against the Eagles

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 […]

Bisaccia: Brandon McManus will kick for the Packers on Monday

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 […]

Packers-Eagles Injury Report: Green Bay WRs take another blow

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 […]

NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Believing in Seattle

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, […]

Success for the Packers offense will require something different

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 […]

How the Packers can attack the Eagles’ defense

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. […]

Should Matthew Golden be producing more?

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 […]

History will judge Matt LaFleur, even if he’s never fired

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 […]

Green Bay Packers News: Matt LaFleur needs to shake up the offense

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 […]
