  • Packers play-calling – vanilla?

    I’m going to focus on 1st down, this week vs. Tampa Bay. 1st Quarter – Drive 1: 1st and 10 at GB 42(14:51) R.Grant left end pushed ob at GB 48 for 6 yards 1st and 10 at TB 48(13:06) A.Rodgers sacked ob at TB 49 for -1 yards 1st and 10 at TB 33(11:51)…

  • Week 4 (where’d week 3 go?)

    Yeah, I never posted anything for week 3.  Forget that, because the Brewers have gotten it together and are tied for the wild card.  I don’t know if they really deserve to make the playoffs at this point, but if they can keep winning I will gladly take it.  Could be good things in the…

  • Week 2 – What more could be in store?

    Week 1 we saw a revitalization of the Bears defense, we saw one Hall of Fame QB take his last snap for the year.  We saw another Hall of Fame QB take his first snap with a new team.  It was confirmed that the Raiders and Rams still have zero hope of making the playoffs. …

  • 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…

  • NOW it’s official…

    …Brady done for the year.  Chris Simms coming in tomorrow morning for a workout. Damn.

  • Bloody Sunday…

    Not a good start to the NFL season for some teams.  First and foremost, it looks like incredibly bad news for the Patriots as Tom Brady hurt his knee early against the Chefs.  Great googly-moogly… It’s still not clear whether he has a torn ACL as Yahoo and others have reported.  There is a small…

  • A few big games this weekend

    Yeah it’s week 1, but there are already some games that matter.  First impressions count, right? Jacksonville at Tennessee The AFC South is always going to be a tough division, but the Titans might be going the wrong direction.  Their defense is stout and their running game should be very good, but the QB is…

  • Busy weekend!

    Friday 8/22: Brewer game!  I love Friday night baseball.  Something about the atmosphere just makes it so much more fun.  I think it’s something about everyone finally getting out of work after a long week and just letting go and enjoying the game.  Brewers played the Pirates.  We had great seats, it was a fun…

  • 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…

  • More signs the Packers are serious about moving on

    In some of the best news I’ve heard since “Favre-gate” started, it was reported today (I believe Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Setinel first broke the news) that the Packers are shopping Favre around.  It’s likely a sign that the team is worried that Brett Favre might actually report to training camp.  Word is they…
