Making The Cut 2.0
There’s still one preseason game to be played before final cuts next Tuesday, so things can and will change in the next six days. But here’s how I see the 53-man roster as of today: QUARTERBACK (2) Aaron Rodgers Jordan Love As long as Love exits Saturday’s game versus the Bills healthy, media darling Kurt […]

Monday Musings: Backup QBs
It was embarrassing listening to Matt LaFleur plead with fans to stop chanting “Go Pack Go” and doing the wave while Green Bay is on offense. Either the people in the stands aren’t as sophisticated as they were in the past, or maybe it’s time to stop selling alcohol at Lambeau. Here are three more […]

10 Quick Things: GB vs. NYJ
After rewatching Saturday’s game vs. the New York Jets, here are 10 things worth knowing: OFFENSE 1) Aside from one drop vs. the Jets, wide receiver Malik Taylor has been really good this preseason.

Monday Musings: Love’s Debut
It was great to see fans back at Lambeau Field on Saturday night, but I can’t help but think Green Bay had a pretty nice advantage playing in empty stadiums last season. Lambeau is the most iconic stadium in the NFL, but it’s hardly one of the noisiest. And while the Packers are a superb […]

10 Quick Things: GB vs. HOU
After rewatching Saturday night’s game vs. the Texans, here are 10 things worth knowing: OFFENSE 1) Third-string quarterback Kurt Benkert made some very nice throws, but his awful interception happened the one time he faced heavy pressure.
