Madden Prediction
A romp. The Packers methodically drive down the field on their first possesion, scoring a touchdown with a Favre pass to Greg Jennings for the record breaker. The Vikings stick around for the first half, but by the middle of the 3rd Quarter, it’s over. Packers: 31 Vikings: 10

Viking Week
I hate the Vikings. No, I mean it. I really, really, really hate the Vikings, no matter how much Brett Favre tells me their mascot is actually a really nice guy from Wisconsin. (See here) Top 5 Reasons I Hate the Vikings: One: That (expletive deleted) horn they play when they score. Two: The fact [...]
4th and 1
The play-call that shook all of Packerdom. Imagine if we had lost!! Needless to say, I’ve gone round and round with several different Packer fans regarding Mike McCarthy’s decision to call an empty set shotgun formation on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter of last weeks game against the Chargers. The argument is that [...]
On Thompson and Being Aggressive
Far be it from me to rain on a 3-0 parade. But I’ve been doing some thinking this week (I know, always a scary thing) about Ted Thompson and the moves he made this off-season. Up until this point, I’ve been a pretty stalwart Thompson defender, even in the face of derision from my Podcast [...]
Careful With Kampman
I know you want your best players on the field as much as possible, but the Packers need to be careful with Aaron Kampman. This past Sunday he was on the field for all but three of the defensive snaps. I know we have better defensive tackle depth than at the defensive end position, but [...]
Bob Sanders Answers My Question
Over at the new JSOnline Packers blog (and if you haven’t checked it out, you really should) new beat writer Greg Bedard has a nice feature where he asks readers to submit questions for Mike McCarthy’s staff. Then, he picks three or four of the best questions and asks the assistant and lets the assistant [...]
Still No Respect
The national media, still drinking Hateorade. From Don Banks, at CNNSI.com: The Packers may well be this year’s Cinderella story, and their NFL-best seven-game winning streak dating to last season is a testament to how quickly coach Mike McCarthy has turned Green Bay’s program around. But let’s not coronate the 3-0 Packers just yet. The [...]
Bring It
Antoine Winfield wants to be on Donald Driver all game. This is a great match-up. Last year Driver had a big game in the dome (The best part of which was the play where the television commentators were blabbing on and on about how Darren Sharper knew Favre so well he would be one step [...]
Quote of the Week
From Mr. Greg Jennings about what Favre said to him after he scored the winning touchdown: “He told me he loved me. That made me feel good that he loves somebody other than Donald.”
Amazing
I usually reserve comment until Tuesday, but I simply can’t contain the desire to write about the game yesterday, or this Packers team, which seems on the verge of becoming a very, very good football team. I can hear you now. “On the verge? Did you see the game!!???” Yes, they beat a ‘supposedly’ superior [...]

Madden Prediction
New feature Since my ‘Game Day Prediction’ posts haven’t exactly set the world on fire, for the rest of the season I will offer up a ‘Madden Preview’ for the week’s Packer game. This week, against the Chargers, the Packers come out and everything goes wrong. Down by 14 in the first quarter, the Packers are steady [...]
