Look For Martz To Come Out Gunning
With Charles Woodson on the bench, and Al Harris no doubt getting an early hook, look for Mike Martz to chuck the ball around the lot today. Word out of Detroit is that Martz is out a the end of the season, (sorry, no permalinks at PFT, you’ll need to scroll down) and he will [...]

A Word About the Playoffs
I know a lot of fans already have the Packers penciled into the NFC Championship down in Dallas. And I hate to rain on the parade, but the Packers will be lucky to win their home playoff game, whomever it’s against, if they play like they did against St. Louis or Chicago on offense and/or [...]
Mike Misses the Obvious
McCarthy is missing the point. (Is there any real way to prepare for wind like that? Had you practiced outside last week, would that have even helped?) If I felt practicing outside would help our football team playing in poor weather, trust me, we would have been outside a long time ago. I prefer to [...]

Happy Holidays
As horrible as the Bear game may have us feeling, try to remember the Pack is 12-3 and in the playoffs, where, as they say, anything can happen. (Like possibly the Packers playing well in the cold…) Seriously, we here at CheeseheadTV hope you have a great holiday where ever you are and what ever [...]
Embarrassing
Now that I’ve had a few hours to decompress, one phrase keeps repeating itself in my head: I am embarrassed. I am embarrassed to be a fan of the Green Bay Packer team that took the field today. Needless to say, I’ll have much more in the days to come, but suffice it to say, [...]

50-50
I’m not sure how I feel about Coach McCarthy’s decision not to practice outdoors. On the one hand, he makes a great point in saying that he can get more done indoors. That is the truth. But it would seem to make sense to get the team outside at least once a week during the [...]
Premium Matchup
You can have your Favre vs. Urlacher or your Woodson vs. Berrian. For my money, the best match-up to watch this weekend will be Spitz vs. Briggs. The last time the Packers faced the Bears, Lance Briggs had a monster game, almost singlehandedly shutting down the Packers running game in the second half. Of course, [...]
Fear Not! New Podcast On the Way…
We have been deluged with email and calls to our podcast voice mail with questions about where the new episode of Packer Transplants is. Patience, young Cheeseheads, patience. Corey and I will be recording it tonight, and it should be up by tomorrow morning at the latest. Cheers. Tweet
Local Hacks Stealing My Thunder
I understand that it’s hard coming up with things to write about, but are Rob Demovsky and Greg Bedard really so hard up for material that they have resorted to reading my missives on CheeseheadTv one day, and then writing feature stories on the exact same topic the next? I jest, of course. But it [...]
Bear Week, Part Two
McCarthy’s boys just need to finish. They had this team on the ropes in Week 5 and just couldn’t close the deal. But both these teams are different than the ones that faced off that Sunday night. Pro Football Weekly has an interesting stat in their game preview, in that the Packers have averaged 359.7 [...]
Nick Barnett\’s Chickens Come Home To Roost?
I’m not normally one for wild speculation (I leave that to ProFootballTalk and PackerGeeks) but my first thought when finding out that Nick Barnett had not made the Pro Bowl was “All that mouthing off has cost him.” Think about Barnett after every big hit. After every tackle behind the line of scrimmage. You can [...]
Welcome Back To Hawaii, Old Man…
Congrats to Brett Favre for being named the starting quarterback for the NFC Pro Bowl roster. Congrats as well to Al Harris for finally, FINALLY, making it as a starter and not an alternate. And as well to Aaron Kampman for a well deserved trip. Not bad for a 5th round throw-in pick, huh? Donald [...]
Keeping Sharp
Good post from Tom Pellissero of the Green Bay Press Gazette (Tom generally does fine work in spite of the fact he seems to be surrounded by riffraff) on the remaining two weeks of the regular season, the fight for home-field advantage in the NFC, and the necessary focus it will provide for this young [...]
What Has Happened To the Screen Game?
One thing (ok, more than one, but one for this post) has been bothering me lately about the Packers’ offense. Actually, I think Corey touched on it on a podcast a few weeks ago, and it surfaced again this past Sunday against the Rams. What the hell has happened to the Packers’ screen game? Once [...]
If the Packers Are Watching the Bears Tonight…
…they are licking their chops at the prospect of facing Kyle Orton. Wow. He is beyond terrible. (And spare me the fact that he threw for a touchdown…you could have thrown that.) Tweet
Sorry, I don\’t buy it.
Sorry, but I don’t buy McCarthy’s insistance that he has nothing to do with the sudden appearance of the blitz in the Packer’s defensive bag of tricks. I think he saw what we all saw against Dallas – a team that can not get any pressure if it is presented with a big, physical offensive [...]
