Aaron Rodgers gets PAID
The Packers have seen all they need to see from their new starting quarterback. And going into the weekend, they decided to pull the trigger and make a deal that will keep Rodgers in Green Bay for the better part of his career. Rodgers signed the deal Friday morning that makes him among the highest…

Can the Packers beat the Titans?
The Titans do two things really well; they run the ball and play lights out defense. That seems like trouble for the Packers as the offense is somewhat limited and they absolutely cannot stop the run. So what can the Packers do to go after the Titans? Here’s some thoughts: On Offense: The Titans play…

Here Come the Colts!
Today, we’re going to get a battle of two teams we just don’t know what to make of. The Colts have struggled out of the gate, thanks to a bad run defense, patchwork offensive line and an injured Peyton Manning. Last week, the Colts blew out the regular pretenders in the Baltimore Ravens and everyone…

No deadline deals – no surprise
As expected, the trading deadline came and went with no moves for the Packers. In fact, the Roy Williams trade is really the only one in the NFL worth noting. Somehow, the Packers got thrown in with the Tony Gonzales rumors… I don’t understand how that could possibly make sense. The Packers could certainly benefit…

Despite win, Packers still need help
Yes, Aaron Rodgers looked great… but the team still showed no sign of improvement other than the ability to stick with the run. The Packers actually surprised me, running 39 times (for only 113 yards, 2.9 avg). So even though they finally kept running the ball, they really didn’t go anywhere. They also did no…

McCarthy’s approval rating takes big dive with loss
If you haven’t seen, ESPN.com lets fans vote on the job their coach is doing. Mike McCarthy received a 32% approval rating for week 5. Not good, but well deserved. The bad thing, is the logic many fans and reporters are using for the poor performance of the Packers. Whenever I read articles about the…

Packers: 2008 vs. 2007
After 3 straight losses, many Packers fans may be saying “what’s wrong?” This team almost made the Super Bowl last year. I’m sure many people will blame Rodgers. Well, more specifically, the fact that he is NOT Brett Favre. If Favre came back, this was supposed to be a championship team, right? Well, I don’t…

Rodgers on his way
Week 1, first time as a starter, first game without hall of famer QB Brett Favre on the team, prime time game, division rival, enormous expectations. The only way Aaron Rodgers could have more pressure tonight would be if he had been the one telling Favre to take a hike over the Summer. The entire…

Rodgers looks pretty good in first start
Yeah, it was pre-season. Yeah, it was agains the pitiful Bengals. Yeah it was just one quarter. However, Aaron Rodgers still looked pretty darn good. A lot of his incompletions and his interception were the fault of dropped passes. He looked confident and did a good job progressing through his reads. You could definitely see…
