Ranking the injuries: Which are the worst for the Packers?

We all know the Green Bay Packers are a beat-up bunch. It’s something we at OBOD have tried to steer away from as much as possible because, well, we don’t like making excuses about our team. We’re just so un-Vikings fan-ish that way.

So, instead of simply griping about it, I’ve decided to go a different [...]

The most indispensable player for the 2010 Green Bay Packers is...

Brett Goode.

(Wait, wait – I got my papers mixed up there. Okay, now I’m good.)

Clay Matthews.

Now, keep in mind, I am not talking about next year or the next five years. I am strictly focusing on the remainder of this season. And, for that stretch, you will not find a more important player on Green [...]

Packers move to Rodgers allowed Eagles to gamble with Kolb

We’re going to be adding a new weekly feature at OBOD now that the season has begun. Every Tuesday (the players’ off day) we’ll be running a column on the Green Bay Packers’ upcoming opponent for that week. It may or may not touch on the Packers at all, but sometimes, of course, it will. [...]

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) [...]

Quick thoughts on the McNabb trade

Yes, yes, I know this is a Green Bay Packers blog.

Nevertheless, I figured I’d offer up some quick thoughts on tonight’s announcement that quarterback Donovan McNabb has been traded from Philadelphia to Washington for a second round pick this year and either a third or fourth round pick next year. After all, the trade does [...]

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 [...]

The updated playoff picture--and plenty of problems

Before last night, anything I wrote today was going to be in a state of despair. I went for a walk after Mike Wallace caught that touchdown, just to be alone with my thoughts. I got home and called any Packer fan I could think of who would be as negative about this loss as [...]

Raji officially a Packer; Vick officially not

Two big Packers-related stories broke within the past hour and change.

First, the team has signed No. 9 overall pick B.J. Raji (RAJI!! Second Raji reinstated), according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The same story suggests the contract is for five years.

The other comes in the form of the Philadelphia Eagles inking Michael Vick to a [...]
