As I’ve mentioned before, more than anything I blame the 2011 and 2012 drafts for the shortcomings of what truly looked like a budding Packers dynasty after the 2011 NFL regular season (the team had just gone 15-1 while defending the 2010 Super Bowl title). Why did these drafts fall short of the standard of…
Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports. A quarterback doesn’t have the same impact that one basketball player, like Kevin Durant or LeBron James can have, but that’s more of a function of only having 10 athletes on the field of play, not the positional importance of “small forward”.

Somewhere everything went wrong. It’s hard to put my finger on when exactly it happened. The Green Bay Packers won the World Championship in 2010. It was a magical run.

The best (and only) home victory for the Aaron Rodgers Packers is against the lowly Minnesota Vikings. Not only is it against the Vikings but against the Vikings with their backup QB. The 2010 Super Bowl run happened completely on the road. The Packers didn’t get to don their customary green jerseys until the Super…
All season long Packers fans have voiced differing levels of concern over the impending free agency of wide receiver Randall Cobb. There are certainly fans that are freaking out, and then there are fans that are convinced a deal is going to get done. I’m kind of a cross between the two. There isn’t really…
