Regular season game twelve vs. San Francisco: Beginning the final assault

Since the Green Bay Packers’ 34-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers ended, oh, roughly 30 hours ago, this recap won’t be about the particulars of that one.

Instead, I’ll be focusing on where the Packers stand, as a team, as they begin the final assault on the 2010 NFL season. Some things from the Niners [...]

Ranking the injuries: Which are the worst for the Packers?

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 [...]

As defense loses another key piece, time for Green Bay's offense to emerge is now

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 [...]

Barber to the Packers? Yet another rumor to rip apart

There has been enough talk about Aaron Rodgers on this site in the past 24 hours and I have nothing left to add to about the Miami aftermath, so I’ll pose a question:

Why do trade rumors follow around Ted Thompson like Linus and his blanket when he has never had a history of making trades? [...]

Tuesday is apparently trade day...just not for the Packers

(Before we begin: Tuesday is normally our day to take a glance at the Green Bay Packers’ opposition for that week. As much as we’d love to write about the Washington Redskins, sorry, there was just too much else going on Tuesday. Don’t worry – you’ll get our full wrap-up of the D.C. trip next [...]

Wrapping up a busy Monday in Titletown

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” [...]

Taking a look at the contracts of Grant, Woodson and Hawk

It’s Friday and, for many of you, that means it’s pay day. 

What better day to examine a trio of key contracts for the Green Bay Packers?

Just make sure you look at your check before you read these numbers. Otherwise, you might get a little upset.

The respective deals of running back Ryan Grant, cornerback Charles Woodson and [...]

Wednesday's mixed bag of donuts: Running backs, running backs and more running backs

Don’t worry – you didn’t misread the title.

This week’s Wednesday special is going to be all about the running backs. No injury reports. No mention of Mason Crosby winning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week (outside of that one, of course). Nothing but running backs.

And, really, why not? The position is the focus of [...]

Ryan Grant done for the year; are the Packers? Nope.

The news out of Green Bay today is that running back Ryan Grant will miss the rest of the year after tearing the ligament that holds two bones in his ankle. The injury is similar to the one that cost Dorsey Levens half of the 1998 season, and Grant said on his Twitter account there [...]

Monday report: Grant, Harrell, Hawk, etc.

Most of the major news surrounding the Green Bay Packers on the day after their season-opening win over Philadelphia involved injuries.

And, as is the case most of the time with things like these, the news wasn’t particularly good.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that running back Ryan Grant (ankle) is out for Sunday’s home opener with [...]
