Regular season game eight at New York: Bruised, battered defense continues its assault

Think back, for a second, to late August. What were your worries regarding the 2010 Green Bay Packers?

Were you worried about the offense? No, not at all. The group was deep, talented and just hitting its stride. Scoring 30 a week? Why not?

What you worried about was the defense. You worried about the pass rush, [...]

Golic and Smith say A-Rodg is best QB under 30 - but do I agree?

So, I’m watching “NFL Live” – why wouldn’t I be, right? Nothing screams “NFL!” like late June - and during a segment, ESPN’s Michael Smith, Mike Golic and Cris Carter debated which quarterback under 30 is the best in the league.

Pickett gets franchise tag ... and thoughts on Westbrook

Greetings, faithful readers — and apologies for my extended absence from the site. I’ve been tied up with a number of different work projects lately, but Chris has done an admirable job holding things down, as he always does. Anyway…

The Packers placed the franchise tag on defensive tackle Ryan Pickett today, meaning he’ll earn at [...]

Thoughts on Pickett, LT and Mike Mayock

Since they say that three is the magic number – why am I making a “Schoolhouse Rock” reference? I wasn’t even born when that show was on – here are some thoughts on the three biggest Green Bay Packers-related news items of the day.

Report: Ryan Pickett to be franchised if new deal not reached by [...]
