How do the quarterbacks the Packers will face stack up this season?
Football is — or has become — a game by, about, and for quarterbacks. If you’ve got a good one, you’re a contender pretty much no matter how good (or bad!) the rest of your roster may be. If you don’t, well, good luck hitting the quarterback lottery in next year’s draft. You’re going to need it!
In the 2025 season, the Packers face a pretty varied crop of quarterbacks. Here’s an absolutely definitive and in no way subjective ranking of those quarterbacks. And of course, it’s May,...
With the release of the 2025 schedule upon us, what did the team look like the last time they beat each of their opponents?
The countdown to the release of the 2025 NFL schedule is here, and in a matter of days we should know when the Green Bay Packers face off against each of their opponents. Let’s take a look at each team they play this season, in alphabetical order, and travel back to the last time the Packers got a win.
The Packers most recently played the Arizona Cardinals...last season! This game was in...
Follow along with news and leaks about the Packers’ schedule for the upcoming season.
The NFL is almost ready to release its schedule for the 2025 season, having announced during the NFL Draft in Green Bay that it will reveal the full schedule on Wednesday, May 14th. That is just a few days away, and Green Bay Packers fans will finally be able to start making travel plans for the fall around that date.
Leading up to the full release, we at Acme Packing Company will be keeping a close eye on the rumors and possibilities in place for the...
Adam Stenavich, Jeff Hafley, and Rich Bisaccia had a lot to say.
The Packers coordinators spoke with the media Monday, giving us a theoretical glimpse into how the 2025 Packers will actually shape up.
Nobody from the coordinator triumvirate gave us huge insights into their plans for the Packers this year, but it’s possible to draw out a few broad ideas.
Adam Stenavich envisions a lot of competition on the offensive line. Jeff Hafley wants a more versatile defensive front. Rich Bisaccia is sad that his special teams units haven’t always been great or even good.
Okay, so not all...
And why we love it.
People care WAY more about the official NFL schedule releases than they should, but I kind of get it. And I kind of get it because it’s NOT just a list of who plays who, because the NFL schedule is loaded with minefields, and the NFL loves nothing more than threatening all of us with all of their nonsense. And they have SO MUCH NONSENSE to threaten us with.
Baseball can’t really do this as they simply need to cram all 162 games into the time frame allotted, with only the Fourth of July and...
Reed will remain the team’s “top receiver” in 2025
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jayden Reed’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, met with Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst last week to discuss his client’s role on the team and whether or not it had changed with the drafting of two receivers, Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, in the top 100 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Per Schefter, “it will not affect Reed’s status as its top receiver,” which is only a partial truth. While Reed is the most productive receiver on the Packers’ roster, Reed is playing in a...
Green Bay has an open roster spot, despite signing QB Taylor Elgersma
The Green Bay Packers officially announced the signing of Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma on Monday, the first U Sports quarterback to sign with the NFL since Steve Samways in 1987. Beyond just the Elgersma move, though, the Packers also released offensive lineman Marquis Hayes, a 2022 draft pick who was added to Green Bay’s practice squad in late November of 2024. The Packers had previously carried 17 offensive linemen on their roster, so it’s not surprising that the team chose to drop a body from that room.
What...
Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley hints at playing a 3-4 defense in 2025
On Monday, the Green Bay Packers’ coordinators spoke to the press for the first time since the team turned in their eight draft picks for rookies last month. While offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich didn’t break any news on the podium, both special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley dropped tidbits about the team’s plan for the 2025 season.
According to Bisaccia, cornerback Keisean Nixon is still going to be in the mix for the kick return job. Nixon made back-to-back first-team All-Pros as a kick...
Leave the holiday football to someone else.
Let’s get this out of the way up top: this is a selfish post. But I think that’s okay. I watch the Packers for my benefit, so I want watching the Packers to be as convenient for me as possible. Maybe that’s selfish, but I call it realistic.
That’s why I don’t want the Packers to play on Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. Or, really, any year for that matter.
The calendar’s ongoing movement has Christmas landing on a Thursday this year, joining Thanksgiving on that day of the week for this NFL...
It took a week after the tryout, but Elgersma is now officially on Green Bay’s roster.
The Green Bay Packers clearly had a plan coming out of rookie minicamp two weekends ago. Last Monday, the team released wide receiver Tulu Griffen in order to open up a spot on their 91-man roster, and reading between the lines of comments from the team’s coaches, it seemed all but a sure thing that quarterback Taylor Elgersma would take his place.
In fact, a report from a Canadian sports broadcaster last Wednesday indicated that Elgersma would sign with the Packers. It has evidently...
It’s time to throw the Packers a bone and let them open the season at Lambeau Field.
In football, what you deserve has little to do with what you get. Good teams frequently get beaten by bad ones. The very best team often doesn’t win the Super Bowl. Players who work hard to reach the top of their craft get injured and lose their golden opportunity.
But if anybody deserves something, the Green Bay Packers deserve to open the 2025 season at home.
For a decade now, the Packers have opened their seasons as road warriors. Over their past 10...
The Packers shook up some of their usual tendencies last month.
As the Green Bay Packers work through the classroom phase of the offseason program, they are quickly approaching the start of their OTAs, which begin in about two weeks. We’re now officially closer to that than to the 2025 NFL Draft, which is more than two weeks int he rear view mirror.
Looking back at the Packers’ draft this year finds that it was a bit unusual in a handful of different ways. For the first time in several years, the Packers did not make a draft-day trade. The...
