The third OBOD mock draft (aka,

Two mock drafts down, two more to go until draft day (15 days from now!!).

Since our last mock, three weeks ago, there have been a handful of trades/signings that have caused this third mock to change. But more than anything, the array of pro days and increased overall chatter amongst “insiders” (which we at OBOD are definitely not) [...]

OBOD Mock Draft: The sequel

Now that we are roughly 12 days into free agency, it seemed like the perfect time to run an updated mock draft.

(Plus, as you likely know, we LOVE doing mock drafts.)

Most of the “big fish” free agents have signed their respective deals and, as a result, some teams’ draft plans have changed. Our new mock has [...]

Other thoughts on the first weekend of free agency

So far, we at OBOD have covered the hell out of free agency as it relates to the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFC North.

(Okay, maybe we haven’t “covered the hell” out of it. But we’ve been good….solid….decent. Yeah, let’s stick with that – decent.)

But what about the rest of the NFL? [...]

Wild card round vs. Arizona: Shredded defense, Rodgers' miscues lead to another postseason heartbreaker

It was all there.

It was all set up.

One of, if not the, greatest non-Super Bowl playoff wins for the Green Bay Packers was about to happen.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a snap of the finger, there was the mob of red jerseys celebrating in the endzone.

Huh? What? How?

Once again, we found out sea changes happen just [...]

Friday injury update (plus OBOD is now on Twitter!)

The Green Bay Packers only appear to have one player in danger of missing Sunday’s wild card game.

The Arizona Cardinals could have quite a few more.

From the fine folks at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Packers’ safety/special teams ace Derrick Martin (ankle) missed practice Friday. Friday practices are usually the best indicator of whether or not a [...]

Know your enemy: A closer look at the Arizona Cardinals' offense

Since this is, oh, I don’t know, playoff week and all (65 hours and counting until kickoff!), we figured we’d take a closer look at the Arizona Cardinals.

This will be a three-part series in which we at OBOD examine all three phases of the Cardinals – and, maybe, shed some light on how the Green [...]

Warner provides perfect blueprint for Rodgers

True story: When I was 18 years old, I hated Kurt Warner.

I hated the whole bag boy-to-Super Bowl winning quarterback angle (too Disney, I thought). I hated his goody-goody “Jesus freak” (the words I used then, not now) image. I hated that he seemingly never made any mistakes, on or off the field.

Then again, I [...]

Wednesday injury update: Packers looking good, Cards aren’t

Give the early nod in the injury battle to the Green Bay Packers as they had, essentially, everyone back at practice Wednesday.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Ryan Pickett (hamstring) and Brandon Chillar (back) were both were full participants. That’s a very good thing because both will need to play major roles Sunday. 

Derrick Martin (ankle) tested his injury [...]

Six injuries to keep an eye on this week

I thought about writing some sort of lighthearted post in this space.

Then I remembered: The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

No time for lighthearted fare this week. It’s time to buckle down and focus on the game at hand (roughly 111 hours away…and counting!). Besides, I’m already too nervous to write anything humerous.

That being [...]

Regular season game sixteen vs. Arizona: Pack's showing bodes well for round one

The Green Bay Packers didn’t show the Arizona Cardinals everything they could do Sunday.

But what they showed should make the defending NFC Champs mighty nervous.

Without giving it all away, the Packers were still able to earn a dominating 33-7 road win over the Cardinals in the regular season finale for both squads. The Packers, who [...]
