This one was sent to us by creator Patrick Ryan. Welcome back Brett. I hope you leave Lambeau the same way you left it the last time you were here, as a loser. Tweet
Cheesehead TV Matchup: Week 8 Defense
Use Harris, Woodson and Williams In Press Coverage A couple of days ago, I looked at what Dom Capers needs to do to get pressure on Favre. What I didn’t touch on, but is something I think is probably as important, if not more so, is Capers’ use of his defensive secondary. Yes, Atari Bigby being [...]
Cheesehead TV Matchup: Week 8 Offense
Get Grant Going The temptation for Mike McCarthy going into Sunday’s game against the Vikings will be to throw the ball around the yard. His offense had major success working downfield last game against Minnesota’s suspect safeties and the temptation will be even greater this week if Antonie Winfield does not suit up. However, McCarthy [...]
Linkageddon!
Insane day here at work and I haven’t had a chance to post anything, but did read quite a little bit. Let’s take a stroll around the blogosphere, shall we? The absolutle must-read of the day is this fantastic Thompson profile piece from Elizabeth Merrill of ESPN.com Bedard pointed out that Lori Nickel wrote her [...]
Opposition Research Is Up
As always, be sure to check out Holly’s excellent work over at The Other 31 as she takes her weekly look at all that is being written and said about the Packers opposition leading up to the weekend. Should seem like a little slice of home for all the misguided friendly Viking fans who have [...]

Peterson Will Get His Yards
While it’s true that there’s little to no use in fretting about Adrian Peterson this Sunday, (he’s going to get his yards) I’m not sure I completely buy this from Greg C. over at the Lounge. Money quote: When you play the Vikings now, you must pick your poison. And given a choice between a [...]
How Will Capers Pressure Favre?
We spoke about this piece from Tom Silverstein on the show last night. Jason Wilde had pretty much the same take I had – why would Capers be trumpeting his intentions? Is he trying to throw out a smoke screen? Is he being honest? (and, consequentially, insane?) Look, I don’t hold any illusions that Capers is [...]

Journal Sentinel = Epic Fail
This is so wrong headed, so misbegotten, so OFFENSIVE, I have trouble catching my breath to find the words necessary to condemn it. But let me try. It seems the Sports Editor over at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one Garry D. Howard, has taken it upon himself to lecture Packers fans on how they should [...]
Kudos To Wilde
…and not just because he’s our guest on Packer Transplants tomorrow I get the sense that Jason’s gig over at ESPNMilwaukee isn’t getting the readership that he most certainly deserves. Die hard Packer fans are really missing out if they’re not checking out his page daily and listening to his podcasts. His write up of [...]
Hawk Shows Up
As someone who’s been a consistent critic of AJ Hawk, I would be remiss if I didn’t at least acknowledge what a good game he had yesterday. Rewatching it last night, I couldn’t find a negative play from Hawk on any of his snaps. The problem seems to be consistency in his ‘getting up’ for [...]
Keeping the Band Together
After getting through a game without giving up any sacks for the first time all season, McCarthy is making the only call he can make by stating, as he did in his press conference today, that he’ll be starting the week using the same five that finished the Cleveland game for game planning purposes. I [...]

Cheesehead TV Matchup: Week 7 Offense
Keep It Simple, Stupid (Especially In Pass Protection) Look, no one is under any illusions about this weekends game against the Browns. Or at least they shouldn’t be. If The Packers lose, everyone should be fired. OK, maybe not, but you can bet the doom merchants that populate the comment sections of the Journal Sentinel [...]
Is Bedard The Cheney Of Penalties?
Is Greg Bedard’s assertion that “Penalties don’t matter” the football version of “Deficits don’t matter“? Greg told us that this piece was coming when he appeared on the show Tuesday night. Now that I’ve had the chance to read it, I have to say I’m teetering on agreeing with him. I remember reading the material he [...]
TJ Lang Should Start Sunday
I mean, really, isn’t this a no-brainer? At this point I’m not sure, and I don’t see how the Packers could be either, that TJ Lang isn’t a better option than Clifton. Clifton was downright terrible against the Lions before he left the game due to injury. Lang, meanwhile, has looked nasty-good in the run [...]
