To: Michael John McCarthy From the desk (or couch) of: Chris Lempesis Dear Mike, Hey man – how’s it going? Silly question, I know. You must be on top of the world right now (or, at least, 60 minutes away from it). Anyways, I’m writing you today to tell you I’m sorry. That’s right – your old buddy Chris is choking down [...] Think back, for a moment, to where the Packers were a year ago today. They had given up 51 points to the Arizona Cardinals two weeks earlier, absorbing yet another numbing playoff loss, and were swimming in questions about how they’d possibly be able to put together a good enough defense to get them deep into [...] 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 [...] Think back to a year ago. The date doesn’t really matter, since you likely remember the day. The Green Bay Packers - the “most dangerous team in the playoffs,” according to some – had just suffered yet another crushing, instant classic-style playoff loss. The highest scoring game in playoff history failed to go their way, leaving us [...] It wasn’t the best game the Packers played this year, but it also wasn’t the worst. In the most important game of the year, the Packers came away with a hard fought victory, which is all that matters. They also didn’t do anything to sway my opinion that they can go into Philadelphia and win [...] Is Mike McCarthy a championship caliber coach? Is he getting too much of the blame? Will the outcomes in close games ever change? Questions like these have been raised on our site and many other blogs this week in the aftermath of last Sunday’s loss in New England. While I agree mostly with what Gene and [...] Before we begin, dear readers, I feel I must warn you. The game recap you’re about to read will have little to do with what transpired Sunday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. No, Gene (as always) covered that brilliantly earlier Monday. A 31-27 loss that should have been a win. Green Bay Packers 8-6. Losers [...] As Matt Flynn marched — well, marched is too strong of a word; maybe nudged? — the Packers down the field in the final four minutes of last night’s game against the New England Patriots, I let a taboo thought of optimism enter my head for just a second. What if this kid actually throws a [...] If you’re anything like me – sorry if you are – you sometimes have trouble viewing things at surface value. You’re more interested in digging through multiple layers in order to get a bigger picture of an issue. The current predicament the Green Bay Packers find themselves in with regards to Aaron Rodgers’ concussion (his second [...] What’s the ultimate goal of any football team? What are you really in it for? Do you want to win championships? Or do you want to be the cute, loveable team that’s always sort of in the running, but never really in the running? In other words, are you the New York Yankees or the Minnesota Twins? Once [...] |
