Green Bay fans have been in those shoes before.

It was a dark day for Detroit Lions fans on Saturday, as their season came to an abrupt end. It certainly came far earlier than Lions fans were expecting, but the myriad injuries on the defense — and a whole bunch of mistakes and turnovers by their once-dominant offense — spelled their doom.

Does that remind you of anything? A 15-win team with arguably the best offense in the NFL tripping all over itself and getting upset at home by an upstart NFC East team? Yeah, Packers fans have seen this...

Rodgers ranks 12th in ANY/A over his first 33 starts. Love is right behind him at 13th

Plenty of Green Bay Packers fans were surprised that quarterback Jordan Love, despite his injuries in 2024, didn’t take the next step this year. If you look at the production timeline of young quarterbacks, though, Love’s production is actually a positive.

For the purpose of this exercise, we’re going to use Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt (ANY/A). ANY/A is more correlated to wins than any raw passing stat or traditional efficiency stats like passer rating.

ANY/A treats passing touchdowns as additional gains of...

Get ready for what should be a fantastic pair of games today.

With Divisional Saturday now behind us, the NFL playoffs move on to the final two games of this round in a Sunday doubleheader. Today’s games both look like great matchups, with the late game potentially being a game of the year candidate.

First up, however, NFL fans will get to see who will advance to the NFC Championship Game in the battle between the Rams and Eagles. Los Angeles has bounced back from a slow 1-4 start, going 9-3 over the rest of the regular season and drubbing...

The NFL’s officiating is a joke

Nothing explains the NFL’s officiating problem better than the Green Bay Packers’ opening play against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Packers returner Keisean Nixon fumbled the kickoff, which was eventually recovered by Green Bay, clearly, based on the overhead shot. Because that overhead shot wasn’t available inside the stadium, though, only on the broadcast, the officials were unable to overturn the call on the field that the Eagles recovered the ball after a dogpile.

Now, the NFL fined the player who caused the fumble, former Packers draft pick Oren Burks, $8,333 for a helmet-to-helmet...

The two #1 seeds play today after having Wild Card weekend off.

Welcome to the most exciting weekend of the NFL season: Divisional Playoff weekend. Today, the two number-one seeds are in action after their week off, as the Chiefs host the Texans and the Lions host the Commanders.

Each of the #1 seeds are big favorites in their games — both have spreads of 8.5 points — but the sportsbooks see the two games playing out very differently. Texans-Chiefs has an expected total of 41.5, indicating a low-scoring affair, while Commies-Lions has a 55.5 over/under.

Join us for the...

Sean Duggan will get to coach a projected top-100 pick at the event

The East-West Shrine Bowl has announced their coaching staffs for this year’s edition of their college all-star game. Starting in a week, two members of the Green Bay Packers’ coaching roster will get hands-on experience with some 2025 draft prospects. These coaches will almost certainly be able to relay some recommendations or cautions about these players to the front office and the coaching staff.

Eddie Gordon, who is currently serving as a Packers assistant offensive line coach, will be one of two offensive line coaches for the...

That message comes down from the top, but must be delivered by players in the locker room to one another as well.

Accountability is not a word that was thrown around a whole lot this week during the press conferences from Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst, but it’s the theme that was there throughout both men’s comments. It’s also something that LaFleur is practicing with one of his big early decisions on his coaching staff.

Gutekunst spoke on Thursday and discussed some areas of concern that he has as he looks for his team to...

Yes, Bengals receiver Tee Higgins makes a lot of sense for the Packers

On Thursday, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst stated several times that the team is hoping to be aggressive in the offseason, but that they do not have plans on bringing in over-the-hill players to a roster that already returns 46 players from their 2024 53-man roster and injured reserve. Essentially, Gutekunst made the point that the team is interested in Xavier McKinney or Josh Jacobs types, young players who would be multi-year swings for the club, rather than short-term rentals.

That, generally, tracks with the...

Whitecotton turns 1st-round picks into stars and unwanted players into starters

Let’s talk about the New York Jets’ Aaron. No. Not that one.

Yesterday, news broke that the Green Bay Packers are interested in hiring Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton to fill the void that they have on their coaching staff now that Jason Rebrovich has been let go after three years. Generally, I think that speculating about positional coaches is a fool’s game, because of how little we know on the outside, but there are some interesting things on Whitecotton’s resume. Allow me to play the role of...

Gutekunst believes he has his defensive linemen

In his end-of-the-season press conference, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst went through the good, the bad and the ugly of the 2024 Packers’ season. For the most part, the head of Green Bay’s front office appears to be optimistic about the squad’s future, despite the young team’s postseason struggles.

The sense of urgency has ramped up

To end his presser, Gutekunst made the statement that the team’s sense of urgency needs to ramp up, as the young roster is talented, but it’s time to start competing on a championship level....

Derrick Ansley was Green Bay’s defensive passing game coordinator in 2024

While he’s only been in Green Bay for a single season, Packers defensive passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley has made his mark on the club. Not only was he part of a significant defensive turnaround in his first year on the Packers’ staff, but Ansley used his prior experience with safety Xavier McKinney at Alabama to help earn him first-team All-Pro honors in 2024.

Now, it appears that Ansley is a hot name on the coaching market again. The Atlanta Falcons announced on Thursday that they had completed an...

Green Bay is already setting up interviews for his replacement

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst made it clear today in his end-of-the-season press conference that he believes he has the right bodies in-house on the defensive line, but that the unit just didn’t do a good enough job of getting after quarterbacks this year. With that being said, it shouldn’t have been a shock when ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that the Packers moved on from defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich on Thursday night.

Rebrovich was a holdover from Joe Barry’s staff, joining the Packers in 2022 as an...
