The Green Bay Packers' all-time 53-man roster (part three)

The first two parts of our series covered the “skill players” on offense.

Enough about the pretty boys – let’s talk about the grunts, the hogs, the guys in the trenches. After all, they’re the real reason games are won and lost.

With that said, here’s part three of OBOD’s all-time 53-man roster: the offensive line.

(Note: I [...]

The Green Bay Packers' All-Time 53-man roster (part one)

Organizations like to pick nice, even-numbered years to go with all-time teams. Teams will roll these lists out at such grandiose mile-markers as 50 and 75 years.

We’re going a different way here at OBOD.

The Green Bay Packers have been around since 1919 – roughly 91 years – but that isn’t stopping us from selecting OBOD’s All-Time [...]

Running back group the focus of much scrutiny

Last week, we received an e-mail from one of our readers, Tim Wellerritter. After saying some kind words about our site – thanks for that, Tim – he brought up the topic of Green Bay’s situation at running back. His thoughts:

“As far as the Packers, I would love for them to get a change of [...]

Thoughts on Pickett, LT and Mike Mayock

Since they say that three is the magic number – why am I making a “Schoolhouse Rock” reference? I wasn’t even born when that show was on – here are some thoughts on the three biggest Green Bay Packers-related news items of the day.

Report: Ryan Pickett to be franchised if new deal not reached by [...]

WE are checking in…and turning the floor over to YOU

So, the last time we talked, we discussed Brett Favre (blech).

It’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything. The reason is, well, there isn’t a whole lot going on with the Green Bay Packers at the moment, outside of Ahman Green saying he thinks he’ll be back (fine with me) and some talk that [...]

Top 10 moments/games of the decade: Part two (conclusion)

Funny how things work out sometimes, isn’t it?

I say that because, on the same day we kicked off our list of the top moments/games of the decade, Green Bay Press Gazette sports editor Mike Vandermause wrote a column in which he listed the top 10 Packers-related stories of the decade. Vandermause’s column also focused on off-the-field [...]

Green Bay Packers' All-Decade Team, part one: Offense

It’s been awhile since we at OBOD have written anything controversial.

There’s a good chance that, in the next week or so, that’s going to change.

That’s because this week, as previously stated, I’m going to wrap up the decade that was for the Green Bay Packers. This is the first part of that, in which I will [...]

Some random thoughts from the week that was

Reporters write notebooks after games. Basically, it’s their way of touching on a few key topics they couldn’t get to in their game story and sidebar.

We aren’t really reporters here at OBOD, so consider the following an emptying of my mental notebook (like THAT’S not scary) from the last week or so.

Schneider hired as Seahawks’ GM

Offseason to-do list, part one: Green Bay's unrestricted free agents

It’s time.

That’s right, fans - it’s time to start talking Green Bay Packers offseason plans. The 2009 season is over-and-done with and the 2010 offseason is rapidly approaching.

This looks to be one of the busiest offseasons in recent memory for the Pack. As of now, the team has a total of 17 players scheduled for free agency, [...]

Regular season game fifteen vs. Seattle: Time to look ahead

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

You know what? I’m going to say that one again, this time with feeling:

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE IN THE (EXPLETIVE DELETED) PLAYOFFS!

YES!!

Sunday’s 48-10 home demolition of the woeful Seattle Seahawks – what’s happened to THEM? – combined with a New York Giants loss puts the now 10-5 [...]
