Packers make roster swap at linebacker
The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have signed linebacker Kristian Welch to the active roster. Welch has been on the Packers’ practice squad this season and hasn’t been activated for a single game. Previously, he played 14 games for the 2023 Packers before Green Bay released him at the cutdown deadline in […]
Micah Parsons: The off-ball pass rusher
Through eight weeks of the NFL season, it’s safe to say that the opposing offenses the Green Bay Packers have faced thus far were primarily worried about Micah Parsons’ impact on their ability to play offense. Through the first four weeks, opposing teams could game plan around Parsons’ rushing off the edge. After the bye […]
College Football Week 10 Discussion Thread
We’ll get into the college football games this week a little later in this article, but first, I wanted to bring up something that will probably impact the Green Bay Packers this offseason. A LOT of college football head coaches are getting fired. Open Power 4 Jobs Already, there are eight openings in the top […]
Green Bay Packers fans’ confidence jumps after big win in Pittsburgh
Before last Sunday, Green Bay Packers fans were still a bit of a skeptical bunch. The Packers needed a late fourth-quarter comeback to defeat the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, and memories of a loss to the Cleveland Browns and a tie against the Dallas Cowboys were still lingering. With those reasons still in mind, […]
A deep dive into the Packers’ defensive run vs. Steelers
The Green Bay Packers battled back in the second half of the Week 8 game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers after being down 16-7 at halftime. They held the Pittsburgh offense to nine second-half points while the Packers offense scored on each possession of the 2nd half. In the end, the defense held their former quarterback, […]
Week 9 NFL Picks: Another big spread for Packers against Panthers
For the second time this season, the Green Bay Packers are set to be favored by double digits. The Packers host the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field on Sunday and as of mid-day Friday the point spread is up to 13.5, a full point higher than the spread on Monday morning. The last time the […]
Packers Final Injury Report: 2 questionable vs. Panthers
The Green Bay Packers officially ruled out receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) versus the Carolina Panthers, after all three were non-participants throughout the week. Both Wicks and Van Ness were out last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Niemann dropped out of the game with […]
C.A.L.C.U.L.A.T.O.R Rankings, Week 8: Clear tiers are developing
First let’s deal with the elephant in the room on this week’s rankings. The Green Bay Packers are basically flat, and actually slightly down, despite an impressive win in Pittsburgh that has the league discussing Tucker Kraft as the best tight end in the game and Jordan Love as an MVP candidate. So how does […]
Green Bay Packers News: Team still waiting for Matthew Golden to shine
In retrospect, expecting a rookie wide receiver to hit the ground running in year one was always a recipe for disappointment. Still, the old adage about wide receivers needing a year or two to adjust to the NFL game has become less true in the last half decade or so, with guys like Malik Nabers […]
Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary are on pace to make productive marks on Packers history
So far, Micah Parsons is doing exactly what the Packers wanted him to do when they ponied up a war chest of draft picks and guaranteed money to secure his services: he’s making life exceedingly difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Parsons is having an excellent year just about any way you slice it. If you like […]
Packers-Panthers Preview: Explaining Carolina’s edge in the run game
It’s very difficult to separate the impact of an NFL running back from his offensive line. There is only so much a running back can do if his guys fail to open holes, and just about any back can be effective if the line is good enough. It is perhaps the very first chicken and […]
Packers Film Room: Attacking the Panthers with Tucker Kraft
When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]
Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs are well on their way to career years
Jordan Love’s recent uptick in counting stats makes him look a lot more viable as an MVP option, but his increased passing output is also bringing a few of his teammates along with him. As Love has continued to pile up better and better passing numbers, Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs are seeing the lion’s […]
Hafley: ‘Nate Hobbs isn’t benched’
Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley hasn’t given up on cornerback Nate Hobbs, and he wants you to know it. Hobbs struggled at outside cornerback in extended looks against the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals, but both Hafley and head coach Matt LaFleur sang his praises going into last week’s action against […]
Thursday Night Football, Week 9 Game Thread: Ravens vs. Dolphins
It’s Thursday evening, and that means that the NFL is kicking off its next week of football this evening. Tonight, Week 9 gets underway with a matchup between two underwhelming AFC teams that are looking to scrape out of the bottom of their respective divisions. The Baltimore Ravens are just 2-5 on the young 2025 […]
The Panthers will be a kick return test for Savion Williams
Back in 2024, I asked special teams staffers in and around the NFL what the new dynamic kickoff would look like, before we had ever seen the play executed in the league. The response I got was the following: Eventually, teams are going to be good enough to kick “dirty balls,” which are difficult to […]
Bryce Young’s career day in 2023 may have changed the course of Packers history
Hiring Joe Barry as the Packers’ defensive coordinator is one of the great errors of the Matt LaFleur era. The Packers’ 2021 defense was respectable, but things went downhill quickly under Barry’s guidance, though he’d hang on through the end of the 2023 season. But on the occasion of the Packers facing the Carolina Panthers, […]
Packers-Panthers injury report: Quay Walker injures calf
The Green Bay Packers added three more injuries to their Thursday injury report. Quarterback Malik Willis had popped up as a limited participant with an ankle injury, right guard Jordan Morgan was limited on Thursday with an illness and linebacker Quay Walker was a non-participant due to a calf issue. Morgan has split time with […]

NFL Trade Deadline: The cornerback market is drying up quickly
I want to say on the front end, I don’t think the Green Bay Packers are going to make a trade before the league’s deadline this year. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, the team is already down future draft picks following the trade for Micah Parsons. Secondly, the two positions that […]
Micah Parsons is named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for October
For the first time in a year, a Green Bay Packer has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month. This time, it’s newcomer Micah Parsons. This is his second time winning the award, first receiving the honor in September of 2023 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, though I suspect this won’t […]
The Packers’ best performances against the Panthers
The Packers and Panthers hardly have a storied history — the Panthers serving as a stepping stone on the way to the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI victory is about as rich as this matchup gets. But Packers players have put up quite a few memorable performances against the Panthers over the years. Here are a […]
Green Bay Packers still aren’t playing up to potential just yet
On Sunday night, the Green Bay Packers got one of their more complete games of the season in their 35-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it was hardly perfect, as the team had plenty of issues in the first half that required a big second half performance to overcome. Three three-and-outs before halftime were […]
Packers sign international player
Earlier today, it was revealed that the Green Bay Packers had signed cornerback Tyron Herring to the practice squad, based on him being spotted by the media at the Packers’ Wednesday practice. What we now know, though, is that Green Bay actually signed two practice squadders today, as the team announced that the Packers had […]
Packers vs. Panthers Injury Report: Brandon McManus remains limited
The Green Bay Packers held their first practice of the week on Wednesday after a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend. In it, three players were non-participants: receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral). Both Wicks and Van Ness were inactive due to injury against […]
