Why Tanking is Not in Packers’ DNA

Posted on 12/13/2018 by Jake Turner

Buzzwords are the core of sports journalism nowadays. Networks use them, sports “analysts” use them – even fanbases are now accepting them There is one word that should never be involved in the same sentence involving the Green Bay Packers. Never. “Tanking.” It was a simpler time back when fanbases believed that word was on the […]

Packers, Just Win a Game Already.

Posted on 12/06/2018 by Jake Turner

Well…this is new. In the 100 seasons that the Green Bay Packers have been a franchise, never have they fired a head coach midseason until last Sunday after the worst home loss in 20 years. Losing to a 2-9 Cardinals squad who has not won at Lambeau since 1949 when they were…in Chicago! Mike McCarthy […]

Packers: From Playoff Contender to Mediocrity – How Did We Get Here?

Posted on 11/29/2018 by Jake Turner

Optimism. It’s a word that fans use to keep themselves positive about their team. Unfortunately, the Packers fanbase (I’m guilty) had used it for the last few seasons. From Aaron Rodgers telling fans to R-E-L-A-X on Milwaukee radio to him saying the Packers would “Run the Table.” Don’t get me wrong, Green Bay was in […]

Packers Try to Shake Off Past Failures in Seattle

Posted on 11/15/2018 by Jake Turner

You ever had deja vu? I was asked that by someone close to me this week and for some reason, I started thinking about the “Fail Mary” on Monday Night Football in 2012, the 2014 NFC Championship debacle, and Brandon Bostick (I may need to drive out to the country and scream). Also, tonight is […]

Packers Win at the Trade Deadline…Yep.

Posted on 11/01/2018 by Jake Turner

Another Sunday, another tough loss for the Packers. Once again, a game that they would have a great chance to win but come up short. This time it was ego over teamwork to put a third L in the column. Rams win 29-27. On Tuesday, the NFL trade deadline (at 4 pm ET) comes along […]

Clock is Ticking on Packers’ McCarthy

Posted on 10/25/2018 by Jake Turner

It’s come to this. The time for excuses is done. The clock has started on the fate of head coach Mike McCarthy. Let me be clear though that I respect McCarthy, his solid winning percentage with a 63% and a decent 10-8 playoff record. I know a few teams that would love to have a […]

Packers Offense Have to Be Optimistic vs 49ers

Posted on 10/11/2018 by Jake Turner

Rewind back to August. I am drinking my morning coffee on the week before the Packers kick off their 2018 season. My prediction was taking the exit to a Wild Card loss despite a dynamic offense and an improved defense. Then I thought of my father who says every year that the Packers will go […]
