Thursday Thoughts: Deja Vu
I like to pick along with the GM during drafts and then see who was right three years later. Looking back at 2019 is very interesting.

Offense Thrived Post-Sharpe
Sterling Sharpe and Davante Adams left Green Bay under very different circumstances, but aside from the reason for their exits, the situations between then and now are eerily similar.

Thursday Thoughts: Shame On 12
In Green Bay, going “all-in” means signing a pair of veterans off the street. In LA, going “all-in” means trading high picks for an elite pass rusher. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when the Packers play the Rams later this month, in what could be the first of two meetings between teams with […]

After rewatching Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears, here are 10 things worth knowing: OFFENSE 1) Davante Adams was targeted a season-low five times, but he still made a big impact on the game.
