Packers/Bears: Who has the edge in the positional battles?

Man, Sunday’s kind of stink when there’s no Green Bay Packers game, don’t they?

Well, fear not – we’ve got Packers football tonight. Green Bay heads into Soldier Spaceship – er, Soldier Field – for a Monday Night contest with the Chicago Bears (7:30 p.m. Lambeau Time).

In this matchup of 2-0 teams, who has the edge [...]

If I was running the draft rooms in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota...

The last few weeks at OBOD have been dedicated entirely to discussing the upcoming draft as it pertains to the Green Bay Packers.

Chicago Bears – The Bears are positioning themselves to be perhaps [...]

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:

Leftover thoughts from a depressing loss (plus an injury update)

You want to know how I know Sunday’s 38-26 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings was especially depressing?

Here’s why: Chinese food on Sunday nights during football season has become a sort of ritual of mine over the past few seasons. Even after losses, the General Tso’s chicken usually makes me feel somewhat better. I ate [...]
