Lady Lambeau's thoughts on Sunday

Packers.

Bears.

NFC Championship.

We made it!

Before regular season even started, I thought we’d be here. I was at the first training camp practice when I saw Finley in person for the first time. My jaw dropped. Dude’s huge! I looked at my husband with wide eyes and said “Did you see that guy? He’s a beast!”. I [...]

It's Tuesday...and they're still whining

First, let me say this: I have a personal policy not to root for the Vikings in ANY situation. There was even a game a year or two ago, where the Packers needed the Vikings to win and help them out, where I simply watched without emotion. Yes, I hate them that much.

Why, you ask? [...]

Quick thoughts on Green Bay's 28-24 WIN!!

As I sit down to write this, the clock has just struck 12:37 a.m.

In other words, I’ll be keeping this one brief (don’t worry – we’ll have a whole lot more reaction to this one later today).

Here are some quick thoughts on the Green Bay Packers’ 28-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night [...]

Redskins 16, Packers 13: Quick thoughts

We’re camped out at OBOD’s Washington bureau (also known as the Casa de Gene, as Lempesis calls it), trying to recover from today’s 16-13 Packers loss to the Redskins. Adam, Chris and I will have more in the morning, including the possible maiden voyage of our OBOD podcast (we think it’ll be fun, and the [...]

What I'd like to see from Packers/Colts

Well, the third preseason game is here. And, as Denny Green once famously informed us, this is the one that teams do not, in fact, play like it’s bull(expletive), bull(expletive)!

That could be especially true in this one, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts and some cat named Peyton at Lambeau Field tonight [...]

Friendly fire: 2010 training camp battles, part two

We went a different way with part one, focusing on the offensive line first.

We’ll let the skill position players get their due this time around, though, as we make them the focus of part two.

Not bad for a short intro, huh?

Wide receiver

Type of battle: No. 3 receiver spot

Combatants: James Jones (26 years old, 6-feet, 1-inch, 208 [...]

Players who could be moved in order to bolster areas of need

Monday, I wrote about the idea of Ted Thompson trading a player from an area of relative strength in order to bolster the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line.

That was written in the context of discussing the Johnny Jolly 2010 Suspension Tour, but really, d-line isn’t the only area Thompson could look to sure up via [...]

Putting the final bow on Green Bay's 2010 draft

Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]

Thompson answers more questions with final day selections

But such is the case with the Green Bay Packers and the four players they took to close the 2010 NFL Draft. Each of those players, in their own way, will alter the Pack’s [...]

Running back, defensive end round out Green Bay's draft

The Green Bay Packers’ 2010 draft is complete.

The Pack’s final two selections focused equally on offense and defense. In the sixth round, Green Bay selected Buffalo running back James Starks (No. 193 overall). With their final pick of the draft, the Packers took East Carolina defensive end C.J. Wilson (No. 230 overall).

First, Starks. Here’s what we know [...]
