Green Bay Packers News: Waiting is over for LaFleur; Bears knocked out
This past weekend brought Green Bay Packers fans two major positive pieces of news. The first is that the waiting to find out about head coach Matt LaFleur’s future is over, as he signed his new contract extension on Saturday. The second, of course, is that the Chicago Bears lost on Sunday night, as the […]
Close game regression candidates for the 2026 NFL season
One of my favorite stats to check after the regular season is over is which NFL teams won a bunch (or lost a bunch) of close games. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, no one has really figured out how to win close games consistently in this league. For the most part, your record […]
Indiana’s Curt Cignetti says he was once offered a Packers coaching gig
In the press conference leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship, Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti was asked whether he would ever leave for an NFL job, despite Cignetti having a $15 million buyout (cost to poach) and $93 million in guarantees in his most recent extension. Obviously, Cignetti was never going to […]
Packers Draft: 2026 American Bowl Preview
The all-star game slate starts this week as the American Bowl began practices on Sunday. After two practices and a walkthrough, the American Bowl will be broadcast on Thursday, January 22nd, on NFL Network at 7 pm CT.

Matt LaFleur isn’t required to make staff changes
Hidden in the reporting from the Athletic’s Dianna Russini and Matt Schneidman on the Green Bay Packers bringing back head coach Matt LaFleur is this quote: “In their recent meetings, [president and CEO Ed] Policy didn’t mandate LaFleur make changes with his staff, and a source said neither [general manager Brian] Gutekunst nor [executive vice […]
NFL Divisional Sunday Discussion: Hate-watching the Bears against Rams
Green Bay Packers fans saw their team bomb out of the playoffs last Saturday, giving up 25 fourth-quarter points to the Chicago Bears in a brutal 31-27 loss. With that result, the Bears advanced to this weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, where they face a Los Angeles Rams team that is, in the eyes of many NFL […]
Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst will both report to Packers CEO Ed Policy directly
It has long been wondered if new Green Bay Packers president and CEO Ed Policy would change his stance on the organization’s structure. Before 2018, the year Brian Gutekunst replaced Ted Thompson as general manager, the head coach reported to the general manager, who in turn reported directly to the president and CEO. Many speculated […]
Packers and Matt LaFleur agree to contract extension
After a few days of drama, the deal is done to ensure that Matt LaFleur will remain the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. LaFleur and the franchise, led by President/CEO Ed Policy, have agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in that role for the foreseeable future. LaFleur’s previous contract was […]
NFL Divisional Playoff Saturday Discussion & Schedule
Green Bay Packers fans will have to wait until Sunday of the NFL Divisional Playoffs to see if the Chicago Bears’ season comes to an end. Chicago hosts the Los Angeles Rams in the final game of Divisional weekend, with Saturday instead featuring both #1 seeds in action against their conferences’ #6 teams. First up […]
Packers Coach News: Jeff Hafley ‘frontrunner’ in Miami, Matt LaFleur likely to return
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley “has emerged as a frontrunner” for the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching vacancy. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, considering that Hafley is one of the hottest names on the coaching market. As of now, he’s been requested to interview or has […]
The Packer Fan Hater’s Guide to the Playoffs
Well, we’re out, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still interested, and if you’re a Green Bay Packer fan, I think you should have some clear rooting interests in the remaining teams. The Packers have been around for so very long that they’ve had some kind of big moment, for good or ill, against almost […]
Potential Cap Casualties 2026: The case for and against Rashan Gary
A week ago,t he Packers were in the playoffs. Today, their attention is on the 2026 season. Who’s going to be a part of that 2026 team? Not everyone from 2025 can or will come back, and a few of the Packers’ biggest names are in the danger zone due to their high cap numbers […]
How Ben Johnson’s play layering beat the Packers
The NFC Wildcard game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers evolved into a true coaching clinic, a legendary chess match orchestrated by Bears offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. His layered play-calling and masterful conditioning of the Packers’ defense ultimately led to the game-winning touchdown. Johnson’s first move was a calculated test of the […]
Packers Discussion: To trade or not to trade Matt LaFleur?
As it stands now, it sure seems like we’re in the middle of a staring contest between Green Bay Packers president/CEO Ed Policy and Matt LaFleur’s agent, Trace Armstrong of Athletes First. At this point, if Armstrong, one of the bigger agents on the coaching side of things in the industry, doesn’t have a number […]
Packers DL coach interviews for another DC opening
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Dallas Cowboys requested to interview Green Bay Packers defensive line coach and run game coordinator Demarcus Covington for their open defensive coordinator vacancy. On Friday, the New York Jets announced that they had finished interviewing Covington, along with seven other initial candidates for the job. The Jets […]
Packers Draft: Which OL prospect have played tackle, guard or center?
Since we’re still waiting for an answer about whether Matt LaFleur is or isn’t going to be the Green Bay Packers’ next head coach, let’s at least do something productive with our time. One of the biggest questions I get every draft cycle is where NFL draft offensive line prospects have lined up in the […]
The Incredible Choking Packers
I agree with many of my APC brethren that there is not a clear upgrade from Matt LaFleur out there at the moment, and that bringing him back is probably, objectively, the correct thing to do. However, I’m also getting pretty sick of the Green Bay Packers playing like losers. LaFleur is a great play […]
Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs among big climbers on Packers statistical leaderboards
With the Packers’ 2025 season now in the books, it’s time to take a look around and see where Packers players ended up on the team’s all-time statistical leaderboards. A minor spoiler: most of the Packers’ offensive climbing had something to do with Tobin Rote. You’ll see what I mean below. Passing There was an […]
Green Bay Packers News: Can Matt LaFleur & Ed Policy find a compromise?
At least we now know what the hangup is in the discussions between the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur. The two sides appear to be some distance apart on the length of the contract, not the average annual salary, with the Packers looking for a shorter-term extension (a year or two) and […]
NFL Draft: 2026 Underclassmen Declaration Tracker
Underclassmen NFL draft prospects, aside from those seeking an extra year of eligibility or those who are in the national title game, had to declare for the 2026 NFL draft by January 15th. From 2019 to 2021, before the extra eligibility for Covid seasons, NIL payments started and the transfer portal really started to kick […]
Matt LaFleur News: Years, not per-year salary, is the Packers’ extension hang-up
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one of the best members of the Green Bay Packers’ beat, just wrote an update on where things stand between the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur, as Green Bay attempts to get a deal done for LaFleur to be the coach of the Packers in 2026 and […]
Why the Packers still like Rich Bisaccia
Since we’re all waiting on the news about Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and whether he and the team can find a number that makes sense on an extension, I thought I’d make myself useful, take a break from the scrolling and talk about another member of the coaching staff. No, this time […]
Packers QB coach to be offensive coordinator for all-star game
When long-time Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements (2006-2016, 2022-2024) retired after last season, head coach Matt LaFleur filled the vacancy by hiring Sean Mannion to the role. Mannion, who left Oregon State as a third-round pick and was the Beavers’ all-time passing leader, had previously played for LaFleur in 2017, LaFleur’s one season […]
Packers Discussion: What do YOU think will happen with Matt LaFleur?
Alright, since we’re all just killing time and refreshing for updates on what will happen with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, I figured I’d open the floor to get people’s predictions on what happens with his future — now five days after the Packers’ brutal choke job against the Chicago Bears in the […]
Green Bay Packers News: Rumor mill keeps churning about Matt LaFleur
Whispers and chatter are everywhere surrounding the Green Bay Packers’ head coaching situation, as contract talks between team brass and coach Matt LaFleur continue and remain unsettled.
