In every category on the basic statistic page, the Green Bay Packers lead. More first downs, more total yards. More passing yards, more rushing yards. Not surprisingly, more penalties. More third down conversions, more fourth down conversions. More turnovers, and a much greater time of possession.
The only statistic that really matters, however, is the final [...]

Mike McCarthy isn’t sure how many safeties he’ll have at his disposal Sunday, but he’s hoping out of Aaron Rouse (ankle, questionable), Charlie Peprah (calf, probable) and Atari Bigby (ankle, probable), two of the three will be able to join Nick Collins (knee, probable) in the starting lineup.
“We have all [...]

It looks like a longshot that strong safety Aaron Rouse will be able to play this week at home vs the Panthers.  Rouse was taken to the locker room on a cart during Monday night’s disaster loss to the Saints.  Mike McCarthy didn’t give the details of how bad the ankle sprain may be, and [...]

The Green Bay Packers need a swift kick in the rear end.
Drew Brees literally had his way with the boys from Lambeau, and there was absolutely nothing the Pack was able to invent to stop the carnage.
Where was the team from last week? Did they all catch a shuttle to Mars? [...]

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will take on the New Orleans Saints in what looks to be like a haymaker in the Superdome tonight. The primetime matchup on Monday Night Football will be the 21st game between these two teams. Both teams enter tonight’s matchup with records of 5-5 and [...]

The Packers decided Sunday that they would win or lose on the shoulders of one player, and for at least this week, that one player was not going to be Aaron Rodgers. It was Ryan Grant. The back torched the Bears defense during the Packs 37-3 victory that puts them, the Bears and [...]

With an absolutely astounding running game and some help from the defense, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears, 37-3 at Lambeau Field. Ryan Grant passed the 100 yard mark in the first half, and the struggling Bears offense simply couldn’t make anything happen on their side of the ball. A second [...]

It’s official - AJ Hawk will play middle linebacker starting Sunday, replacing Nick Barnett, who is out for the season.  Brady Poppinga will apparently play the strong side, and Brandon Chillar gets the weak side spot.
With one of the worst ranked run defenses in the NFL right now, the Packers need [...]

Coming into Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field, both the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers are reeling from losses that really shouldn’t have been. The Bears missed several opportunities to end the winning ways of the Tennessee Titans, while two safeties and a missed 52-yarder spelled doom for the Pack against Minnesota. [...]
