The Green Bay Packers will defeat the Chicago Bears if...

No catchy, clever intro here.

Let’s get down to business.

Here are three things the Green Bay Packers must, must, must do if they are to advance to the Su…wait…I don’t even want to say that phrase yet…defeat the Chicago Bears in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game (still get chills writing that).

Win the special teams battle. Or, at the very [...]

Staking out the enemy: Q&A with Bears blog

Over the course the 2010 season we have met a various bloggers for other NFL teams, but really only one we have built somewhat of a relationship with, even if it is out of a combination of mutual hatred and respect. Jonathan Carroll of Bears Headquarters joined us earlier in the year for our weekly [...]

Tosssing out some midseason donuts

It has become a weekly tradition here to handout some of our “namesakes” to players who provided us highlights and lowlights from that week’s game. Since the Packers were on a bye week, there were no donuts to be handed out. But fear not OBOD faithful, we have decided to handout some donuts for the [...]

Tauscher's time at right tackle should end

Last week, the big debate amongst fans of the Green Bay Packers centered around the team’s left tackle position.

Some felt veteran Chad Clifton needed to give way to rookie Bryan Bulaga, using age and/or injuries as the main reason for their beliefs. On that one, I firmly backed Clifton.

With that said, the following statement may come [...]

A few thoughts on Packers-Bears

Good morning, OBOD readers — Gene here. Chris is off fuming somewhere, so I thought I’d weigh in with a few, shall we say, more measured thoughts about last night’s loss to the Bears. Chris’s recap is coming, and I can tell you after talking to him last night, it will be colorful.

In the meantime, [...]

Packers/Bears: Who has the edge in the positional battles? (Part two)

Okay, so we’ve covered the pretty boys on offense.

For part two, it’s time to look at the tough guys on defense (and those wimps on special teams…I kid, I kid).

Front seven – Yeah, that’s right. We’re going a different way on this one. It seems ridiculous to compare the respective defensive lines/linebacking corps for the [...]

Monday report: The left tackle conundrum

Conundrums are a pain in the you-know-what for football teams. They wreck the “keep it simple, stupid” approach that most thrive on.

We at OBOD, however, love conundrums. They give us a chance to come down on one side or another of an important Green Bay Packers-related issue and, of course, stir the pot – something [...]

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 [...]

Buluga? Wait, what?!

And with the 23rd pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Bryan Buluga, tackle, [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Offensive tackle (part four)

Spring is in the air.  The temps are warming.  The bulky, winter clothes are dwindling.  And sometimes true beauty that is covered all winter is finally revealed.

Okay, okay, maybe I should leave my poetry session for another day, but the point I am getting at is that sometimes true gems take a little while to [...]
