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 [...]
Okay, now we can say the Green Bay Packers’ defense is devastated by injury.
Wednesday, we learned that outside linebacker Brad Jones’ season is indeed over. Jones has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo surgery on his damaged shoulder. The injury initially occurred in camp and was apparently significantly re-injured in Sunday night’s win [...]
At some point, a unit can only withstand so many injuries.
The Green Bay Packers are not at that point just yet with their defense, but they can likely see it off in the distance.
Wednesday, we learned that inside linebacker Nick Barnett’s wrist injury is much worse than initially thought. Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel [...]
Outside of the disappointing news regarding Morgan Burnett – no link, you can just scroll down – there was a lot going on with the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
Let’s get to the rest of it, quick-hit, bullet-point style right now:
McCarthy downplays Rodgers’ comments
Mike McCarthy said he and Aaron Rodgers are “on the same page” [...]
And the injuries continue to mount for the Green Bay Packers.
Monday, we learned that rookie safety Morgan Burnett’s season is over just four games in because of a torn ACL, suffered in the team’s win over Detroit on Sunday.
Before we get to the options available for Green Bay at the position, let’s talk about what [...]
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 [...]
Tuesday was the first of two scheduled cutdown days for NFL teams, with every team mandated to get down from 80 to 75 players.
The Green Bay Packers took a different approach. They cut no one.
Instead, the Packers placed three players on the PUP list and one more on injured reserve (they had only 79 players [...]
Well, the third preseason game is here. And, as Denny Green once famously informed us, this is the one that teams do not, in fact, play like it’s bull(expletive), bull(expletive)!
That could be especially true in this one, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts and some cat named Peyton at Lambeau Field tonight [...]
(Two notes: First, the Stew will return next week. Second, big props to OBOD reader Kathy Wutkowski, who gave me the idea for this post. Writer’s block hits us all, sometimes, you know?)
Good thing Morgan Burnett got all those offseason reps with the starters, huh?
I say that because, on Thursday, we found out Atari Bigby’s [...]
If Saturday’s contest between the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns – set for 7 p.m. Lambeau Time at, well, Lambeau Field – was a regular season affair, we’d go all out in writing a preview.
Unfortunately, though, it isn’t – it’s merely the preseason opener.
That being the case, we’ll go a different route and merely [...]
