Preview: What To Expect In 2020
Sure, the 2019 Green Bay Packers benefited from unusually good health and a somewhat fortuitous schedule en route to the NFC Championship game, but 13-3 is still 13-3. That’s why anything less than another deep run in the playoffs would have to be considered a disappointment, especially for a team that returns all but two […]
Read MoreAnd Then There Were 53
The Green Bay Packers will have to be down to 53 players by 4 ET on Saturday afternoon. Without being able to attend practices or watch preseason games, some of my projections are based completely off a player’s college tape. This makes the task far more challenging, but what the heck, I’m still going to […]
Read MorePackers: Pros & Cons
The Green Bay Packers open the season in less than two weeks, and for a team that played in the NFC championship game less than eight months ago, hopes aren’t as high as might be expected. That’s probably because general manager Brian Gutekunst did so little in the offseason to improve the roster while other […]
Read MoreDoing The O-Line Shuffle
The most surprising news to emerge from the first few practices of training camp is the legitimate competition occurring on the right side of the offensive line. Veterans Billy Turner, Rick Wagner, and Lane Taylor are battling for two starting spots. On Saturday, Turner opened at right tackle and Taylor at right guard. Two days […]
Read MoreGaleai Tops List Of Longshots
The Green Bay Packers signed only seven undrafted players after last month’s draft and none of them looks all that intriguing. Fortunately, there’s an undrafted free agent from a year ago who might be ready to step up and earn playing time this season. His name is Tipa Galeai, a defensive end in college who […]
Read MoreRemember The ‘2 Week Rule’
The way many members of the media gushed over Montravious “Reggie White II” Adams and Josh “Ronnie Lott Jr.” Jones in recent summers made me a bit nostalgic for the 80s. That was the decade I had my first beer, went to my first Springsteen concert, bought my first car and held my first real […]

Brian Gutekunst was named general manager of the Green Bay Packers on January 8, 2018. He’s made over 100 personnel moves since that time – some good and some not so good. I listed his 12 best moves earlier this month, and now I’ve spent the past few weeks counting down his worst moves. Here’s […]

Read MoreBest Available Wide Receivers
Despite ending last season with only one wide receiver catching more than 35 passes, general manager Brian Gutekunst decided to bypass the position in the draft. His only addition was free agent Devin Funchess, who chose to opt-out due to Covid-19 earlier in the week. That leaves the Packers with essentially the same group as […]
