Another Monday and more inanity from Peter King, the Monday Morning Quarterback. While in this week’s edition he goes on at some length about Brett Favre (what’s new) there was this:
The Vikings just didn’t show up. I saw two-thirds of that game, and you can’t tell me the Packers are that much better. Good character […]

Here’s something I haven’t felt in a very long time: Total happiness, joy, and satisfaction with the Green Bay Packers. It’s kinda weird, but after yesterday’s nearly flawless performance and total domination of the Vikings, I can’t think of anything really to criticize.
There were a couple pre-snap penalties on the offensive line, but the team […]

Some bloggers want to see a head coaching change in Minnesota. Wha? One little loss and you want to throw the coach under the bus?
Okay, not a little loss, a 34-0 blowout, the first shutout ever delivered to the Purple Sage Riders by the Packers. But still, the man is just in his second year, […]

Packers win! 8-1! The Vikings suck!
Wow, what a performance at Lambeau Field today. For the first time this season Green Bay got a convincing win that didn’t require a fourth quarter comeback or the rubbing of any Buddha bellies to ensure victory. The Packers manhandled the Mulberry Mulligans in a 34-0 victory, handing Minnesota their […]

I know very little about quarterback Koy Detmer, who was signed this week by the Vikings to back up Brooks Bollinger. I know he has a brother Ty. I know he played for the Eagles and I think I remember he didn’t look horrible in a couple starts when McNabb was hurt (or was that […]

Just a week after setting the NFL single game rushing record, Adrian Peterson will be playing his first game at (cue John Facenda) historic Lambeau Field. The 72,000 Green & Gold fans should be in full throat Sunday afternoon, waving their G-Force towels in the air; I hope it scares the Purple Bejebus right out […]

A trip to the Metrodome is a lot like going to visit your dysfunctional in-laws: You can never get out of there without a little drama. Today was no different for the Packers, who nearly gave away the ball game after Ryan Grant fumbled a handoff from Brett Favre with under two minutes to play. […]

The constant theme running through commentary and criticism before and after Green Bay’s huge win Sunday over the Chargers has been laser focused on the state of the running game, specifically the apparent lack of one. Over the past few months I have been at or near the front of that line of people wanting […]

I feel like I just got a lump of Coal Candy in my stocking for Christmas. Yeah, the win over the Vikings was sweet, but it sure was nasty to look at. (Actually, I didn’t see it at all because of the unholy and unjust blackout of the game caused by the NFL Network and […]

Note to the marketing department of the NFL and the Green Bay Packers: I stay tuned to every Packers game through to the end even if it’s a blowout, so making these contests into nail-biters is doing nothing for your audience numbers; it’s just giving me an ulcer.
Boo-ya! The Packers go into the Humpty Dump […]
