I, and a few other Packers writers, have been trying to temper the expectations of the Packers faithful as it pertains to free agency. We’ve been reminding them on Twitter that most players whose options aren’t being picked up, extensions aren’t being worked out and whose outright releases aren’t being granted are probably not a…
I had a chance to stop by the Railbird Central podcast and talk about the Packers controlled free agents. You can listen to that show with legendary host Brian Carriveau right here. That is not today’s discussion. Today’s discussion is to identify which of the Packers current unrestricted free agents can be expected to re-join…
They did it. They ran the table. Once thought to be dead in the water at 4-6, the Green Bay Packers have won six straight games and are the Kings in the North once more. The Rodgers/McCarthy/Thompson Packers have now won five of the last six NFC North championships. All this in a year that…

That hasn’t happened without Brett Favre as Minnesota’s quarterback since 2005 (!). This is a series that has gone much better in the Aaron Rodgers era (11-6) than it ever did under Brett Favre (17-16).…
This game reminds me a bit of the Buffalo game in 2014. Everything the Packers were trying to accomplish was in front of them, yet they dropped a winnable game in Buffalo against a team that didn’t make a playoffs. It was late in the year, the weather was cold, and the Packers lost, screwing…
What a dark time it was not so long ago. The internet wolves were out, and they were ravenous. Fire the coach? Force the General Manager to retire? Trade the quarterback (that was particularly dumb)? People were looking for answers, anywhere they could find them (or make them up). The Packers were 4-6, had lost…
