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 don't see it. I understand newspapers have a vested interest in keeping hope alive, but my fellow bloggers really need to take off the Green and Gold glasses. This team is not going to the playoffs, and if, by some miracle, it happened to find it's way in, it would be embarrassed on a national stage once again. They have simply run out of competent players on the defensive line to mask Bob Sanders gross incompetence. It's that simple, really. Last year, the defensive line was stacked with quality players and hid the fact that Sanders had zero imagination or ability to adjust his scheme, at least not until the end of the season when injuries had taken their toll and you saw the cracks start to show.

Mike Montgomery and Jason Hunter are set to return to action this week after sitting out the last few games due to injuries.

Watching the Titans-Colts game last night, three things become readily apparent:

The Tennessee Titans are mad, bad and dangerous to know and present the exact opposite challenge to the Packers that the Colts did. Looking back at...

On the birth of Gabrielle Kathleen. Now Coach will have company for those 2AM film sessions... :)

One of my few quibbles after the game yesterday was McCarthy's timidity at the end of the first half, especially as it continues a pattern from...

Yes, it pains me to write it, but Bob Sanders deserves a ton of credit for how he implemented and called the Packers defensive gameplan yesterday.

McCarthy just had his Monday presser and indicated that Ryan Pickett would be 'questionable' for Sunday's game against Indy.

At the end of January, I wrote the following:

Perhaps lost amongst my much written about angst over Bob Sanders is the unbelievable admiration I have for Aaron Rodgers and his incredible...
