Chiefs vs. Packers, by the numbers
Photo by David Eulitt/ The best player in the league comes to town to face a... pretty good Packers team? What a month. At the end of last month, things looked quite dark for the Green Bay Packers. It was already mock draft season, the offense was in a doom spiral, and the head coach’s position looked fragile. What a difference a month makes. The Packers took care of business against a horrendous Rams offense, lost a tight game to Pittsburgh, snuck out with a win against the Chargers, and then went out and smacked Detroit in a game that was never as close as the...

On Jordan Love, football organizations, and quarterback development
Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports Take a look around the NFL - the smart teams know how to get quarterback value in a thousand different ways. One of the key changes to the NFL over the last five-to-ten years is the simple realization by many, but not all, teams that there is more than one way to play quarterback. This is incredibly obvious in retrospect, especially given the fact that old-timey NFL quarterback play, like from the 20s through the 60s, involved a lot more running/mobility and ideas could have been mined by any team at any time. From 1970 through the early...

Packers Film Room: Jayden Reed’s emerging role in the Packers running game

Friday Cheese Curds: Packers can climb into playoff position with a win Sunday
Photo by David Eulitt/ The Seahawks' loss gives Green Bay a chance to climb into the 7 seed this weekend. On Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers got a little boost to their playoff hopes as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Seattle Seahawks 41-35. That result dropped the Seahawks to 6-6, matching the record of the Minnesota Vikings. That means that the Packers, currently 5-6, could work themselves into a three-way tie with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. If they do so, the Packers would officially be off the TV networks' "in the hunt" graphics and in...

The Packers Are Competing During a Rebuild
Photo by John Fisher/ What does it mean for the Packers to be competitive during a year they were expected to be bad? The 2023 Green Bay Packers are not good; let’s get that out of the way. They’re also not bad! “Bad” is reserved for teams who put all their eggs into one basket by trading for the oldest quarterback in the league and doing nothing to protect him up front. “Bad” is reserved for teams who trade the 32nd-overall pick for a receiver who would only go on to play 10 games for them before being traded for a sixth-rounder.
