10 Quick Things: GB vs. BAL
After rewatching Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, here are 10 things worth knowing: OFFENSE 1) Aside from missing throws to Davante Adams early and Allen Lazard late, Aaron Rodgers (23 of 31 for 268 yards and three touchdowns) was masterful.

Corners Are The Key To D
The Packers have been a good defensive team exactly one time since winning Super Bowl XLV. In 2014, that side of the ball surrendered only 19.2 points per game in the second half of a season that shouldn’t have ended in the NFC title game. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes or even Inspector […]

Packers Take Road Less Traveled
Robert Frost would absolutely love the Green Bay Packers’ offseason because the team has certainly taken the road less traveled. Aside from re-signing Pro Bowl running back Aaron Jones, nothing coach Matt LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst have done the past few months has been conventional.
