The Cardinals Aren’t The Only Ones…
…who didn’t show everything last week. I keep reading things like this from Tom Pelissero, quoting Cardinal defensive coordinator Billy Davis: Asked how hard it was to watch the Packers roll up 302 yards in their first five drives last weekend, Davis said, “As hard as it comes. That’s as hard as it gets, in [...]

ESPN is running a feature called ‘Player X’ where an anonymous NFL ‘star’ player talks about sports. This week the topic is, surprise, the NFL playoffs. Player X gives 10 lessons on how teams can get through the postseason. It’s good stuff, all of it, but I particularly liked #3 Mix It Up: As far [...]
Packers Could Clinch Playoff Spot Sunday
The Packers are most likely, baring the Cowboys pulling off the upset Saturday night, going to be playing this Sunday afternoon knowing that if they win their game against the Steelers, they are in the playoffs. Indeed, Sunday will feature a Packers team on the cusp of wrapping up a playoff berth and a Steelers [...]
I Don\’t See It
Everywhere you turn in the Packer Blogosphere and even in the accredited media you find pieces about the Packers playoff chances, complete with examinations of the Packers schedule and how it compares with the Vikings and Bears, who they all play when, what might happen to the Williams brothers, etc, etc. Sorry, but I just [...]
Reasons for Brett to come back.
Call me sentimental, I don’t care. I didn’t make this video but I like it. Enjoy it while you can. Our best chance for a Superbowl Title in over a decade rests with Brett and his decision. I know Rodgers has a chance as well. But let’s be real. For my part, I hope you [...]

No Pressure Or Anything…
Should the Packers beat the Giants and earn the right to advance to the Super Bowl, the man who will hand the George S. Halas NFC Championship trophy to Bob Harlan will be none other than the legendary Bart Starr, the man who made possibly the greatest play in the history of football championships. He’s [...]
Game Key #2 – Kampman vs. McKenzie
Aaron Kampman vs. Kareem McKenzie Giants right tackle Kareem McKenzie did a decent job against the Buccaneers, although he gave up a sack, and really played an excellent game against the Cowboys and their 3-4 defense. But Aaron Kampman is the best end he’ll have faced in the playoffs. Going back and watching the match-up [...]
James Jones Is Back
Throughout the month of December, we kept hearing and reading how Koren Robinson and Ruvell Martin were making their moves to take over the #3 WR position. And it certainly looked that way heading into the playoffs. And then lo and behold, here comes Jones with his best game in over a month. (Though he [...]
Packers O-Line Getting It\’s Due
The Packers offensive line had it’s most complete game of the season against the Seahawks last Saturday, and people are noticing. The latest observer to put pixel to screen about the dominating performance of Clifton/Colledge/Wells/Spitz/Tauscher is Michael David Smith over at FootballOutsiders. He does a great job looking at various aspects of the Packers running [...]
Aaron Ross Is A Warrior
Now I know we’re Packer fans and all, but you have to be impressed that Giant’s rookie corner Aaron Ross will attempt to play against the Packers – with a dislocated shoulder. Many, many players would shut themselves down in that situation. Ross not only came back in after having his shoulder popped back into [...]
Packers Playing Their Best Football?
I think it would be hard to disagree with McCarthy’s assertion in his presser on January 13th that the Packers are not only playing their best football, but they just played their best game ever under McCarthy against the Seahawks this past Saturday.

Kerney – Home vs Away
Patrick Kerney is getting all sorts of press after an outstanding regular season, and more importantly, just a dominate performance against the Washington Redskins. But the way people are carrying on, you’d think he was the second coming of Deacon Jones. Let’s all just slow down a little bit, shall we? First of all, the [...]
Bubba Franks – Secret Weapon?
Corey touched a bit on this on last weeks podcast and I wanted to expand on the thought a little bit. Bubba Franks will be the key to the Packers offense in the playoffs. Now I hear the Hyperbole Police coming to get me, so calm down. I’m not saying he’ll score 3 touchdowns a [...]
