1995 Again
Well.
It feels like 1995 all over again. I’m headed to Wisconsin this afternoon (sure – the one week we lose, I get to go to the Motherland and grieve) but I’ll be back on Sunday to post thoughts and reactions to last nights game. But I will say one thing – this Packers team [...]
The Best Breakdown of the Packers Offense
Mike Tanier of Footballoutsiders.com and his Two Deep Zone column are treasures and all football fans everywhere are lucky to have them. His breakdown of the Packers offense in today’s TDZ is fantastic. (And great train reading for those of you commuting home before the game like your humble blogger…)
Why Didn\’t I Follow His Example?
BratsNBeerGuy took the week off work in anticipation of tonights game against the Cowboys.
As I sit here at my desk on the 31st floor in our Park Avenue building, I find myself thinking – What the hell was I thinking coming to work today? I am absolutely useless.
Cowlishaw Picks The Pack
Almost every national prognosticator has picked the Cowboys to win tonight, but two of the most prominent beat writers for each team seem to favor the Pack. Bob McGinn (sorry, sub required) refuses to give a score (he never does) but clearly thinks the Packers will be victorious this evening. More surprising is Tim Cowlishaw [...]
The Wife Breaks It Down
Leave it to my wife to breakdown the upcoming match-up with Dallas and to allay my worries. I submit to you the email exchange we shared not 5 minutes ago. I love this woman.

Proof That You Don\’t Need A Brain – Part II
The anonymous quotes from NFL Scouts, coaches and personnel people over at Pro Football Weekly are always worth their weight in gold, if only to remind me that I too could one day work for an NFL team. No, really, how hard could it be when they employ people who will say this:
Look at James [...]
Murphy It Is
Mark Murphy will be nominated to lead the Packers organization. He did an admirable job turning around the Northwestern athletic program. He played in the NFL, and seems like a competent individual. Still, I find myself somewhat disappointed the search committee did not choose Jason Wied to put forward before the Packer board of directors [...]

NFL Network vs Big Cable
Several of you, (OK, two of you) have emailed me about my thoughts regarding the NFL Network’s ongoing battle with ComCast and Time Warner. I hadn’t wanted to address it until it was Packer-relevant, and boy, is it ever that this week.
I won’t get into the ridiculous minutiae that is involved in the argument, (I [...]
Forget Owens – Witten Is The Real Threat
While the media likes to push anything T.O. related, what I haven’t seen a whole lot about yet this week is how Jason Witten could single handedly beat the Packers, at least from the perspective of the Cowboys offense matching up against the Packers defense.
First, it was Antonio Gates, then Chris Cooley and then Tony [...]
