A Tuesday morning trip to the question department

And Vikings week, chapter one (technically, chapter three) has officially begun.

That being the case, there’s quite a bit of news surrounding the Green Bay Packers, a team that’s lost three of four and desperately needs to right the ship.

What better time than now to make a trip back to the question department, right? After all, [...]

Wrapping up the heartbreak with a trip to the question department

Since you can only touch on so many topics in a game recap, I figured I’d use this post to wrap-up the 51-45 overtime heartbreaker. And what better way to do that than with a trip to the question department?

(Quick aside: Yes, I fully realize that doing this is very much an exercise in sadism. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Monday wrap-up

Not only did the Green Bay Packers lose in embarassing fashion Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, they got pretty banged up while doing it.

Chad Clifton (ankle), Nick Collins (clavicle) and Aaron Rouse (neck stinger) all suffered injuries in the contest.

Donald Lee was also hurt when he took a shot from Roy Williams late in the [...]

Preseason game three vs. Arizona: Is it September 13 yet?

Remember last week when I said that, despite the Packers’ domination of Buffalo, we still had to temper our excitement a bit because it was a preseason game?

Yeah, screw that.

Get excited, folks. Get really excited.

Because if there’s one overlining theme from Friday night’s 44-37 road win over the defending NFC champion-Arizona Cardinals, it’s this: the [...]
